All the alloys have random texture prior to cold-rolling. After cold rolling, molybdenum promoted the formation of Brass-type texture. This texture can be attributed to dislocation based active deformation mechanisms because no deformation twins were found in the microstructure. The intensity of the major texture components: Brass and S increased up to 2 wt% Mo and then decreased. The increase in the molybdenum content did not affect mechanical properties significantly. � 2023enElectron microscopy; Lightweight austenitic steels; Microstructure; Molybdenum concentration; Tensile properties; TextureArticle
