This paper addresses the effects of Ce-rich mischmetal on the microstructure evolution of a 5182 aluminum alloy during annealing and rolling processes. The Ce-rich mischmetal was added to an as-cast 5182 aluminum alloy in an induction furnace, and this was followed by homogenized annealing at 450 °C for 24 h and a rolling operation. The microstructure evolution and mechanical properties’ analysis of the 5182 Al alloy were characterized. The results show that the Ce-rich mischmetal could modify the microstructure, refine the α-Al grains, break the network distribution of Mg2Si phases, and prevent Cr and Si atoms from diffusing into the Al6(Mn, Fe) phase in the as-cast 5182 Al alloys. Ce-rich mischmetal elements were also found to refine the Al6(Mn, Fe) phase after cold rolling. Then, the refined Al6(Mn, Fe) particles inhibited the growth of recrystallization grains to refine them from 10.01 to 7.18 μm after cold rolling. Consequently, the tensile strength of the cold-rolled 5182 Al alloy increased from 414.65 to 454.34 MPa through cell-size strengthening, dislocation density strengthening, and particle strengthening. The tensile strength of the recrystallization annealed 5182 Al alloy was increased from 322.16 to 342.73 MPa through grain refinement strengthening, and this alloy was more stable after the recrystallization annealing temperature.

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.

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.

The effect of severe plastic deformation at ambient temperature on microstructures and mechanical properties of aluminum alloy 2519 was investigated by means of tensile test, micro-hardness test, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that tensile strength of as-queched 2519 alloy was greatly enhanced to nearly 550MPa (ultimate tensile strength, UTS) and 520MPa (yield strength, YS) by severe cold rolling or equal channel angular processing (ECAP) while the elongation decreased to 5%. The 2519 alloy could obtain quite well mechanical properties as much as 80 % and 12 passes cold rolling deformation. This indicated that pre-deformation by ECAP is effective in improving the mechanical properties of 2519 alloy by grain refinement, strain aging and high density dislocations.

Aluminum alloy sheets were asymmetrically rolled at room and cryogenic temperatures by imposing different velocity ratios of 1~1.5 between the upper and bottom rolls. After rolling, the stress-strain curves, microhardness as well as the microstructures of the rolled samples were characterized and analyzed. The experimental results showed that the asymmetric cryorolling could improve the grain refinement and offered (~12%) higher room temperature tensile strength than that processed by symmetrical rolling with velocity ration of 1.0 (~280 MPa). However, at cryogenic temperature, the strength of asymmetrically cryorolling sheet (with velocity ratio of 1.5) was 5.1%, which is less than that processed by symmetrical rolling.

The influence of thermo-mechanical treatment consisting of cold rolling followed by recrystallization annealing on the grain size and mechanical properties of a high-Mn TWIP steel was studied. An Fe-23Mn-0.3C-1.5Al TWIP steel (wt. %) was subjected to extensive cold rolling with a reduction of 80% (true strain of ∼1.6) and then annealed in the temperature interval ranging from 400 to 900 °C during 20 minutes. Recovery processes took place below 500 °C, partial recrystallization was evident at ~550°C and fully recrystallized structure evolved after annealing at 600 °C and higher. The static recovery resulted in a slight decrease in the yield strength from 1400 MPa to 1250 MPa and the ultimate tensile strength from 1540 MPa to 1400 MPa whereas the total elongation of 4% did not changed. The recrystallization development led to a drastic drop of strength and an increase in ductility. The yield strength of 225 MPa, the ultimate tensile strength of 700 MPa and the total elongation of 79% was obtained after annealing at 900 °C. Correspondingly, the grain size increased from 0.2 μm to 6.2 μm with increase in anneal temperature from 550 to 900°C.

Alumina (Al2O3) coatings in the thickness of 10μm and 15μm were prepared on the 4043 Al-Si alloy substrates by electroplating technology. Multiple mechanical properties of alumina coatings were evaluated by various techniques: the long distance microscope, Charge Coupled Device microphotographics, acoustic emission and strain foils. For the electroplating alumina coatings, the in-plane tensile strength is 68.1 MPa, the cohesive strength is 96.2 MPa and the adhesive strength is over 22.7 MPa. Three different directional microcracks, which are relative to the tensile directional and corresponding to two fail modes in the alumina (coatings)/4043 Al-alloy (substrate) system, were found.

Cryorolling is indeed a very suitable approach in producing a good Al alloy of Al 5083 with exceptionally strong and hard properties. This new Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) methods can bring out the utmost of strength in Al alloy compare with cold rolling. This paper hence discussed the effect of dipping duration of Al alloy in liquid nitrogen prior to rolling process to its improved mechanical properties such as hardness and tensile strength. The result showed that the hardness increased with increasing dipping time until 60 minutes for low temperature pre-anneal and 30 minutes for high temperature pre-anneal and later dropped. The tensile strength of cryorolled sample also showed some improvement for about 5-8% compared with normal cold rolling.

The as-cast Mg-14Li-1Zn alloy was hot rolled at different temperatures with the reduction of 50%, followed by cold rolling with the reduction of 80%. The effects of the hot rolling temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the final specimens were investigated. The results show that the higher rolling temperature brings about a more homogeneous microstructure, which is favorable for the subsequent cold rolling. When the hot rolling temperature is 300°C, the final specimen possesses the highest tensile strength and hardness of 238 MPa and 67.7 HV, respectively. When the hot rolling temperature is 200°C, the final specimen possesses the highest elongation of 24.6%.

With cold rolling deformation between 12.5% and 60% for GH 536 superalloy strips, effect of deformation on the mechanical properties, texture formation and microstructure evolution have been investigated. The results show that an increase of deformation will lead to an increase of mechanical properties. As the deformation was 60%, the tensile strength and yield strength of the strip were 1430MPa and 1370MPa, respectively, and the elongation of strip was 4.5%. Also, an increase of deformation will lead to an increase of hardness, yield ratio and deformation resistance as well as an increase of rolling textures such as Goss {110}<001>, S{213}<4>, Copper {112}<1> and especially Brass {110}<12>. The optimized processing parameters of cold rolling deformation between 25% and 37.5% have been proposed to obtain an excellent formability and cold workability for GH 536 superalloy strips.

Effect of strontium (Sr) addition on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of semi-solid A356 aluminum alloy produced by GISS process were investigated in this study. Strontium addition resulted in both grain refinement and modification of eutectic Si. The maximum average ultimate tensile strength and elongation of 291.06 MPa and 17.31%, respectively, were obtained from the T6 heat-treated specimen containing 0.08wt%Sr. The excessive addition of strontium (0.2wt%Sr), however, seemed to deteriorate the mechanical properties of the alloy as a result of the Al2Si2Sr particle formation.
