A technique for cold rolling thermoplastics is described and the results of compression tests on some rolled materials are described in terms of basic stress-strain curves. There is evidence of a general improvement in mechananical performance particularly for biaxially oriented (cross-rolled) material. Density changes are examined and a pronounced resistance to environmental cracking for cold-worked materials is reported.

The effects of cold-rolling with different reduction ratios of 70%-90% on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti50Zr30Nb10Ta10 alloy were investigated. It was found that the β-Ti phase in this alloy was stable under cold-rolling. With the increase in reduction ratio from 70% to 90%, the microstructure of the alloys evolved from deformed dendrite structure to fiber-like structure. The alloy cold-rolled with the reduction ratio of 70% exhibited optimum mechanical properties of combined high fracture strength of 1012 MPa and plastic strain of 10.1%, which are closely correlated with the dendrite structure of the alloy. It is indicated that the proper cold-rolling is an effective way to improve the mechanical properties of the titanium alloy.

Copper foils with 91% cold rolled deformation annealed at temperature between 140°C and 170 °C.The microstructures were observed by EBSD. The mechanical properties were measured at room temperature by tensile test machine and the fracture morphologies observed by SEM. After annealed at 150 °C, recrystallization begins to occur, while the elongation increases evidently and tensile strength decreases sharply. When the temperature rises to 170 °C, recrystallization is complete and the grain starts to grow. When the foils are annealed at 140 °C, it exhibits a strong cold rolling textures characterized by Brass {011}<211> and Cu {112}<111>. After annealed at 170 °C, there are olny weak Brass {011}<211> texture.

In this paper, Q235 steel was investigated in order to manufacturing ultra-high strength material. The process of severe cold-rolling and low temperature annealing of lath martensite effectively reduced the crystal size from about 300 nm to 20 nm, and introduced mass weak interfaces in steel, has been demonstrated a new promising technique for producing in-situ composite multi-nanolayer steel with ultra-high strength (b 2112 MPa). Cold rolling and subsequent annealing have great impact on microstructure evolution as well as material mechanical properties. In the as-rolled state, the strength is approximately four times increased than as-received material (hot-rolled state, b 515 MPa), which is attributed to work hardening and grain refining during cold rolling. As the cold-rolled sample subjected to further annealing below 500 , deformed microstructure underwent further recovery and recrystallization, finally became refined equiaxed grains, microstructure characteristics along rolling direction arrangement was decreased; In addition to ultrafine ferrite grains, nano-carbides precipitated uniformly in the specimen annealed at 500 , total elongation increased to 16%, the corresponding yield strength was 1208MPa, much higher than that of as-received samples. The phenomenon of fracture delamination was observed from the specimens, which were cold-rolled and annealed at 500 , and the delamination plane was parallel to the rolling plane. In-situ composite weak interfaces effect has great impact on the fracture surface.

The effects of different cold rolling deformations on the microstructure and mechanical properties of high nitrogen and low nickel alloys were investigated. The microstructure of high nitrogen alloys with different rolling deformations were characterized by EBSD and TEM. The tensile mechanical properties of the high nitrogen alloys at room temperature were tested. The results showed that the microstructure of the cold rolled high nitrogen alloy with deformation of 0% to 70% shows a twinning process. The twin thickness of the high nitrogen alloy without deformation is micron degree. When the rolling deformation is over 50%, the average thickness of the deformation twin is 23nm. When the rolling deformation increases to 70%, the average thickness of the twin is 14nm. When the rolling deformation increases from 0% to 70%, the cold rolled high nitrogen alloy exhibits high strength (1001-2236 MPa) and excellent plasticity (5.9%-64.1%). It is beneficial to have a good combination of strength and plasticity after rolling deformation.

Yield strength of highly dislocated metals is known to be directly proportional to the square root of dislocation density (ρ), so called Bailey-Hirsch relationship. In general, the microstructure of heavily cold worked iron is characterized by cellar tangled dislocations. On the other hand, the dislocation substructure of martensite is characterized by randomly distributed dislocations although it has almost same or higher dislocation density in comparison with heavily cold worked iron. In this paper, yielding behavior of ultra low carbon martensite (Fe-18%Ni alloy) was discussed in connection with microstructural change during cold working. Originally, the elastic proportional limit and 0.2% proof stress is low in as-quenched martensite in spite of its high dislocation density. Small amount of cold rolling results in the decrease of dislocation density from 6.8x1015/m-2 to 3.4x1015/m-2 but both the elastic proportional limit and 0.2% proof stress are markedly increased by contraries. 0.2% proof stress of cold-rolled martensite could be plotted on the extended line of the Bailey-Hirsch equation obtained in cold-rolled iron. It was also confirmed that small amount of cold rolling causes a clear microstructural change from randomly distributed dislocations to cellar tangled dislocations. Martensite contains two types of dislocations; statistically stored dislocation (SS-dislocation) and geometrically necessary dislocation (GN-dislocation). In the early deformation stage, SS-dislocations easily disappear through the dislocation interaction and movement to grain boundaries or surface. This process produces a plastic strain and lowers the elastic proportional limit and 0.2% proof stress in the ultra low carbon martensite.

Fe-Ni-Mn martensitic steels show excellent age hardenability but suffer from embrittlement after aging. Discontinuous coarsening of grain boundary precipitates was found as the main source of embrittlement. Effect of cold rolling and equal channel angular pressing on the mechanical properties of an Fe-10Ni-7Mn steel was investigated. Cold rolling for 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 90% and equal channel angular pressing for four passes through the Bc route were carried out on a solution annealed material with subsequent aging at 753 K. Hardness measurement, tensile test and scanning electron microscopy were used to study mechanical properties and microstructural features of the as-deformed and aged alloys. Improvement in tensile properties of the as-deformed and aged alloys was found. A tensile strength of about 1840 MPa along with 3% elongation were determined for cold rolled by 90% thickness reduction and aged alloy, while conventional steel shows a premature fracture stress of 820 MPa with zero ductility. It was also indicated that after heavy cold rolling ductility increases in comparison to the equal channel angular pressed and aged alloy.

Mechanical properties of GaP crystals are investigated in the temperature range 600–900 °C by means of compression tests. Stress-strain characteristics of a GaP crystal in the temperature range 600–800 °C are very similar to those of a GaAs crystal in the temperature range 450–600 °C. The dynamic state of dislocations during deformation is determined by means of the strain-rate cycling technique. The deformation of GaP is found to be controlled by the dislocation processes the same as those in other kinds of semiconductors such as Si, Ge, and GaAs. The velocity v of dislocations that control deformation is deduced to be v = v0 τ exp(–2.2 eV/kT) as a function of the stress τ and the temperature T, where v0 is a constant and k the Boltzmann constant. The Portevin-LeChatelier effect is observed in the stress-strain behavior in the deformation at high temperatures and under low strain rates, which may be attributed to the locking of dislocations by impurities or impurity-defect complexes.

The influence of cold-worked and aging processes on the microstructures, mechanical properties and conductivity of Cu-Cr-Y alloy has been experimentally investigated. Samples were cut from ingot of Cu-0.8 wt.%Cr-0.05 wt.%Y alloy. They were solution-treated, cold rolled and aging treated. The results show that the Cu-Cr-Y alloy, with 70% deformation and aging at 480°C for 24min, can reach an excellent combination of microhardness and conductivity. The microhardness and conductivity is about 143HV and 84%IACS, respectively. The microstructures by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) show that the fine and dispersed distributed Cr precipitate, which form due to decomposition of the supersaturated solid solution during aging, is responsible for the peak maximum microhardness as it is predominantly present in the peak aged hardening condition.

9Cr-1Mo ferritic steel samples containing 0.2 and 0.5 wt % silicon in 40 % cold rolled state were recrystallize-annealed at 1100, 1200 and 1300 K. The grain growth and mechanical properties after recrystallization-annealing for 20 hr to 100 hr were investigated. No significant grain growth was observed even after 100 hr annealing at 1100 and 1200 K. The recrystallization-annealing at 1200 K resulted grains smaller in size than those at 1100 K. Annealing at 1300 K exhibited the enhanced grain growth with decorative microstructures. Initial annealing after cold rolling at 1100 K exhibited low hardness which further increased with annealing temperature. Annealing at 1100 K for 20 hrs exhibited low yield strength and ultimate tensile strength compared to those of as received samples. However, for 100 hrs annealing these properties remained nearly constant for 0.2 Si composition and increased marginally for 0.5 Si composition. Recrystallization-annealing exhibited improved ductility for both the compositions.

This study evaluated the microstructure and mechanical properties enhancement of cross roll rolled Ni-10Cr alloy, comparing with conventional rolled material. Cold rolling was carried out to 90% thickness reduction and subsequently annealed at 700 °C for 30 min to obtain the fully recrystallized microstructure. For annealed materials after rolling, to investigate the grain boundary characteristic distributions, electron back-scattering diffraction technique was introduced. Application of cross roll rolling on Ni-10Cr alloy contributed to the notable grain refinement, consequently, average grain size was refined from 135 μm in initial material to 4.2 μm in cross roll rolled material. These refined grain size led to an enhanced mechanical properties such as yield and tensile strengths. Furthermore, <111>//ND texture in CRR material was well developed than that of CR material, which contributed to the mechanical properties and formability enhancement.
