For the design and optimization of the whole manufacturing process and the final component behavior, a correct representation of the material behavior and the application of appropriate numerical simulation techniques are required. For our first investigations, a ferritic mild steel DC04, which is a typical steel grade for automotive applications, is analyzed. Therefore, specimens are taken out of a real manufacturing process after hot and cold rolling and after annealing. These specimens are intensively investigated in order to study the texture evolution and the development of other material properties, like yield function during the process chain. In this paper different homogenization methods are used to simulate the texture evolution during cold rolling. The results are compared concerning accuracy and efficiency of the considered models.
