Due to a relatively high processing temperature, the refinement degree was limited via these three routes processing. Different preferred orientations of the basal plane were formed with three routes processing and there existed a rotation angle in (0002) pole figure fromnormal direction to transverse direction.Negative slope of the yield stress versus d−1/2 was obtained with routes Bc processing, which was attributed to the texture modification. Texture strengthening greatly increased the 0.2% yield strength, but decreased the ductility.
