In this paper, accumulative roll bonding (ARB) has been used to prepare the Al/Mg alloy multilayer structure composite materials with 1060Al sheet and MB2 sheet. The evolution of microstructure of the cladding materials during ARB processes was observed by optical microscope, scanning electron microscopy, and micro-hardness was measured by micro-hardness tester. The results show that a multilayer structure material of Al/Mg alloy with excellent bonding characteristics and fine grained microstructure was prepared by ARB processes. With the ARB cycles increasing, Mg alloy layer in multilayer composite material was necked and fractured, and the hardness of the Al and Mg alloy was increased. Average grain size was less than 1μm after ARB4 cycles.

The development of laminated composite Mg alloy sheets, prepared by solid diffusion and roll bonding, is an effective way of improving the stiffness and surface properties of these materials while retaining their lightness. Laminated composites consisting of a core of Mg alloy between sheets of A5083 alloy as the coating material with Ti foil interlayers were prepared by solid diffusion and roll bonding. The laminated material had a strength and was resistant to cracking during deformation. Compounds that were formed and dispersed at the bonding interface between the Al and Mg alloys subjected to grain refinement improved the fracture toughness and strength of the composites, and it was important that these compounds were formed discontinuously. The fracture toughness of the laminated composite was twice that of the base Mg alloy, and its Young's modulus was 57 GPa.

Aging behavior and mechanical properties of ultra fine grained Cu-Cr-Zr alloy sheet produced by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process were investigated. A Cu-0.85Cr-0.07Zr (in mass%) alloy was solution treated and then cold-rolled at ambient temperature in the sheet of 1 mm thick. The sheets were heavily deformed by ARB process at ambient temperature up to 5 cycles. The grain size was reduced down to 210 nm and the fraction of high angle grain boundaries (HAGB’s) in the specimen after ARB process was 63%. The proof stress ( σ 0.2) and elongation were 540 MPa and 10%, respectively. Due to the aging treatment, a little grain growth took place (240 nm) and the fraction of HAGB’s was increased to 67%. The proof stress and elongation of the aged one increased to 605 MPa and 15%, respectively. It was noteworthy that the electrical conductivity remarkably increased from 35% to 79%IACS by the aging treatment. It was concluded that the aging treatment after ARB process enhanced not only the mechanical properties but also the electrical conductivity in the Cu-Cr-Zr alloys.

Ultra-fine grained (UFG) materials can be produced by several techniques involving severe plastic deformation (SPD). Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) is one of the SPD methods that enable the production of large amounts of UFG sheets. UFG sheets were prepared by up to six cycles of ARB at ambient temperature from an Al-0.22Sc-0.13Zr alloy in two states: a non-agehardened and a peak-aged. The effect of Al3(Sc1-xZrx) precipitates on the thermal stability of the UFG structures produced by ARB was investigated by isochronal annealing at temperatures between 200 and 550 °C. Additionally, the non-age-hardened ARB material was peak-aged prior to annealing and annealed together with both as-ARB-processed materials. The changes of microstructure and hardness due to annealing were studied. Annealing at 300 °C induces an additional strengthening in both non-pre-aged ARB materials that may be ascribed to precipitation and growth of coherent Al3(Sc1-xZrx) particles. This result suggests that the hardness decrease introduced by ARB in the peak-aged specimen is due to dissolution of precipitates during deformation. The annealing response of the materials above 300 °C does not depend on their thermal pre-treatment. However, the finely dispersed Al3(Sc1-xZrx) precipitates stabilise the refined deformed microstructure suitable for superplastic forming up to relatively high temperatures.
