In this study, we investigated the recrystallisation kinetics of Ti-stabilised interstitial-free (IF) steel manufactured by the Mexican steel industry through the route of electric arc furnace with vacuum degassing, secondary refining, and subsequent continuous casting. The IF steel was hot-rolled at 950°C and then cold-rolled until deformation of 94% was attained, followed by recrystallisation at different times at a constant temperature of 780°C. In addition, the mechanical properties of the IF steel were assessed as a function of recrystallisation time. The results obtained from the mechanical property tests were presented in the form of plots of microhardness, yield strength, ultimate tensile stress, and deformation percent as functions of the recrystallised fraction with an indirect dependence on recrystallisation time. A graphical model of the recrystallisation behaviour showed the evolution of the microstructure, including phase transformations, hardness, and the mechanical properties determined from the tensile tests. In view of subsequent recovery and recrystallisation, stored energy analysis derived from the strain induced by deformation was presented. Furthermore, we determined the precipitates formed in the different processing stages of IF steel.

This paper examines an effect of boron (B) on dynamic softening behavior, mechanical properties and microstructures for Nb-Ti added high strength interstitial free (IF) steel. For this purpose, IF steels containing 0ppm B, 5ppm B and 30ppm B were chosen. Continuous cooling compression test was performed to investigate dynamic softening behavior. Mechanical properties and microstructures of pilot hot-rolled IF steel sheet were analyzed by uni-axial tensile test and electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD). It was found that no-dynamic recrystallization temperature (Tndrx) which can be determined from the relationship between flow stress and temperature is a constant of 955oC for all IF steels. However, an addition of B into IF steels increases work hardening rate at the temperature below Tndrx. It was also verified that B retards phase transformation of austenite into ferrite. EBSD analysis revealed that absence of B induces fine ferrite grain size and many high angle grain boundaries.

The effects of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) concentration on mechanical properties of hydrogels based on blends of native or denatured collagen / PVA were examined. Blends of PVA with collagen were obtained by mixing the solutions in different ratios, using glycerol as a plasticizer. The solutions were cast on polystyrene plates and the solvent was allowed to evaporate at room temperature. Uniaxial tensile tests were performed in order to obtain the initial modulus of elasticity (up to deformation 0.1), the ultimate tensile stress and the deformation at failure of the material in the water-saturated hydrogel form. It was found that the material was elastic and the addition of PVA helped to enhance both the ultimate tensile stress and modulus of elasticity of the films. Samples prepared from denaturated collagen showed the higher ultimate tensile stress and the deformation at failure in comparison with those prepared from native collagen. The results suggest that we could expect successful application of the collagen/PVA biomaterial for tissue engineering.

Both microstructure inhomogeneity and mechanical property diversity along the thickness direction in rolled thick aluminum plates have been considered to have a remarkable impact on the performance and properties of the products made from the plates. In this study, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) characterizations of microstructure and texture types along the thickness directions of Al7055 thick plate specimens prepared using two conditions, hot-rolling and solution-quenching, were performed. To examine the mechanical properties, uniaxial tensile tests were also carried out on specimens machined from both types of thick plates, using a layered strategy along the thickness direction. The results indicate that both the microstructure and mechanical properties are inhomogeneous under the two conditions. Furthermore, it is evident that there is a hereditary relationship between the mechanical properties of the two plates—areas with higher yield strength in the as-hot-rolled plate correspond to areas with the higher yield strength in the as-solution-quenched plate

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.

Roll Bonding

Severe plastic deformation is a new method to produce ultrafine grain materials with enhanced mechanical properties. The main objective of this work is to investigate whether accumulative roll bonding (ARB) is an effective grain refinement technique for two engineering materials of pure copper and interstitial free (IF) steel strips. Additionally, the influence of severely plastic deformation imposed by ARB on the mechanical properties of these materials with different crystallographic structure is taken into account. For this purpose, a number of ARB processes were performed at elevated temperature on the materials with 50% of plastic deformation in each rolling pass. Hardness of the samples was measured using microhardness tests. It was found that both the ultimate grain size achieved, and the degree of bonding depend on the number of rolling passes and the total plastic deformation. The rolling process was stopped in the 4th cycle for copper and the 10th cycle for IF steel, until cracking of the edges became pronounced. The effects of process temperature and wire-brushing as significant parameters in ARB process on the mechanical behaviour of the samples were evaluated.

The effects of Nb and V on the anisotropy and textures featuring the hot rolled low carbon microalloyed steels produced by A.S.T. (Arvedi Steel Technology) have been studied as a function of the final coiling temperatute Tcoiling. Mechanical properties and r-values for twelve steels have been determined through tensile tests performed on three main different directions: 0°, 45°, 90° to the rolling one. The samples have been analysed by EBSD (Electron Back Scattering Diffraction) to identify the textures developed during the process. The relations among the chemical composition of the steels (i.e. C, N, Nb, V contents), the mechanical properties, the temperature during the coiling operations, the textures and the formability properties have been pointed out.

T.M.C.P.(Thermo Mechanical Control Processing) has been widely used to improveplastic formability in steel strips. We have produced interstitial free steel(IF steel) strips and ferriticstainless-steel strips through T.M.C.P. rolling method. Optimizing conditions of hot rolling, hotrolled annealing, cold rolling and cold rolled annealing, we developed texture prediction model. Wecan predict rolling texture accurately using the conventional Taylor model. Moreover, we preciselypredict recrystallization texture classifying the total number of microscopic􀀁 slips which arecalculated using the Taylor model. We consider that these calculated results provednucleation-oriented model and two types of recrystallization and grain growth mechanisms exit inour studies. One mechanism is that grains which had the small total number of microscopic slips arepreferred orientation for the hot rolled and annealed ferritic stainless-steel strip. The othermechanism is that grains which had the high total number of microscopic slips are preferredorientation for the cold rolled and annealed IF steel strip.

Ti Content

The influence of the texture development in Ti-added (0.03, 0.05 and 0.07wt%) IF (Interstitial Free) steels on physical properties, especially ř -value was investigated. It was intended to determine the proper Ti content for the promotion of deep drawability as well as mechanical properties of IF steels. The precipitation behavior in the IF steels was clarified with the aid of computer simulation. The quantitative X-ray analysis on the texture development of IF steels was performed using pole figure and orientation distribution function measurement. For the IF steel with the composition of 0.025C, 0.070Mn, 0.002N and 0.007S, the optimum Ti content was found to be 0.05wt%.

Crystallographic Orientations

In the present study, the effects of kinematic and geometric asymmetries in rolling during multi-pass processing of IF steel are examined. The theoretical investigation by final element simulations and experimental investigations by means of electron-backscatter diffraction analysis and tensile tests suggest that asymmetric rolling increases the total imposed strain compared to symmetric rolling, and largely re-distributes the strain components due to additional shear. This enhances the intensity of grain refinement, strengthens and tilts crystallographic orientations, and increases mechanical strength. The effect is highest in the asymmetric rolling with differential roll diameters.
