For macrotexture characterization of the 60% cold rolled material, one sample was taken from the plate and ground up to half thickness reduction. The surface perpendicular to the normal direction (ND) was polished and the macrotexture measurements were performed in this sample using a texture goniometer MPD Philips with Cu-Kα radiation (40 kV, 30 mA). The data obtained were analyzed using popLA© software. In addition to microstructural characterization, Vickers microhardness testing was performed on the longitudinal sections of polished samples using a load of 200 g for 30 s
