Review of Formability in Relation to Texture

Sheet metal forming is a very important step in manufacturing a variety of components used in automobile, nuclear industries and so on. Usually the formability of any material is a property which primarily depends upon work hardening and the type of texture in the material. The type of texture affects the material properties and specially the formability of the material but these aspects are not studied by any researcher. In the present article a review has been carried out to study the formability of material with respect to texture and how it is related to the formability of material.
