The impact of asymmetric cold rolling was quantitatively assessed for an industrial aluminum alloy AA 5454. The asymmetric rolling resulted in lower rolling forces and higher strains compared to conventional symmetric rolling. In order to demonstrate the positive effect on the mechanical properties with asymmetric rolling, tensile tests, plastic-strain-ratio tests and hardness measurements were conducted. The improvements to the microstructure and the texture were observed with a light and scanning electron microscope; the latter making use of electron-backscatter diffraction. The result of the asymmetric rolling was a much lower planar anisotropy and a more homogeneous metal sheet with finer grains after annealing to the soft condition. The increased isotropy of the deformed and annealed aluminum sheet is a product of the texture heterogeneity and reduced volume fractions of separate texture components.

The paper presents the results of the experimental study of the three-layer Al-Mg-Al sheets rolling process by the ARB method. The tests carried out were limited to single-pass symmetric and asymmetric rolling processes. An Al-Mg-Al package with an initial thickness of 4 mm (1-2-1 mm) was subjected to the process of rolling with a relative reduction of 50%. To activate the shear band in the strip being deformed, an asymmetry factor of av=2 was applied. From the test results, an increase in the tensile strength of the multi-layer Al-Mg-Al sheets obtained from the asymmetric process was observed. Microhardness tests did not show any significant differences in aluminium layer between respective layers of sheets obtained from the symmetric and the asymmetric process. By contrast, for the magnesium layer, an increase in microhardness from 72 HV to 79 HV could be observed for the asymmetric rolling. The analysis of the produced Al-Mg-Al sheets shows that the good bond between individual layers and grain refinement in the magnesium layer contributed to the obtaining of higher mechanical properties in the multi-layer sheets produced in the asymmetric process compared to the sheets obtained from the symmetric process.

During forming, thickness reduction and thermal treatment affect the recrystallization and evolution of the crystallographic texture of metallic materials. The present study focuses on the consequences of rolling reduction of a widespread aluminum alloy with numerous automotive, marine and general-purpose applications, namely Al 5182. Emphasis is laid on the crystallographic texture and mechanical properties on both hot and cold-rolled semi-final products. In particular, a 2.8 mm-thick hot-rolled product was examined in the as-received condition, while two cold-rolled sheets, one 1.33 mm and the other 0.214 mm thick, both originating from the 2.8 mm material, were examined in both as-received and annealed (350 °C for 1 h) conditions. Electron back-scatter diffraction indicated the presence of a large percentage of random texture as well as a weak recrystallization texture for the hot-rolled product, whereas in the case of cold rolling the evolution of β-fiber texture was noted. In addition, tensile tests showed that both the anisotropy as well as the mechanical properties of the cold-rolled properties improved after annealing, being comparable to hot-rolled ones.

As-received hot-rolled 5.6 mm thick IF steel sheet was symmetrically/asymmetrically cold rolled at room temperature down to 1.9 mm. The asymmetric rolling was carried out in monotonic (an idle roll is always on the same side of the sheet) and reversal (the sheet was turned 180º around the rolling direction between passes) modes. Microstructure, texture and mechanical properties were analysed. The observed differences in structure and mechanical properties were modest, and therefore further investigation of the effects of other kinds of asymmetry is suggested.

In this paper, initial Ti-6Al-4V seamless tube was prepared and cold rolled to a final size of 32*2, and the microstructure and mechanical properties development was investigated, and the (0002) and (10 -10) texture was measured on XRD, pole figure calculated by Microsoft of Labotex. Pass between annealing was taken for stress-relieving, heat-treatment parameter was 800°C-1hr, furnace cooling to 500°C and then air cooling to room temperature. The results show that rolling process result in effective grain refinement and mechanical properties improvement after several rolling passes. The increase number of rolling pass improves strength but reduce the elongation, annealing improve elongation, reduce strength. A trend of texture reorientation was found in this paper also, textures of materials rolled by deformation rate were compared, different deformation rate effect texture evolution has been proved.

The core loss and magnetic induction of electrical steels are dependent on the microstructure and texture of the material, which are produced by the thermo-mechanical processing. After a conventional rolling process, crystal orientations of the α-(//RD) and γ-(//ND) fibers are strongly present in the final texture. These fibers have a drastically negative effect on the magnetic properties of electrical steels. By applying asymmetric rolling, significant shear strains could be introduced across the thickness of the sheet and thus a deformation texture with more magnetically favorable components is expected. In this study, an electrical steel of 1.23 wt.% Si was subjected to asymmetric warm rolling in a rolling mill with different roll diameters. The evolutions of both deformed and annealed textures were investigated. The texture evolution during asymmetric warm rolling was analyzed by crystal plasticity simulations using the ALAMEL model. A good fit between measured and calculated textures was obtained. The annealing texture could be understood in terms of an oriented nucleation model that selects crystal orientations with a lower than average stored energy of plastic deformation.
