In this paper, a new metastable Titanium alloy in the Ti-Nb-Ta-Mo system has been successfully produced using both the d-electron and Moeq concept. The influence of cold rolling on the microstructure and hardness was investigated. The alloy was fabricated by arc melting, cold rolled up to 90% reduction in thickness and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscope and Vickers microhardness. The XRD peaks depicted both β and α′′ phases in all the cold rolled specimens. The hardness of the alloy increased with increasing cold rolling reduction thickness. An excellent plasticity (≥ 65%) and compressive strength up to (2.9 GPa) was achieved with low Young’s modulus (31 GPa) and no failure or crack on the alloy. Also, the alloy demonstrated a high compressive true strength coefficient (k ≈1426 MPa) along with improved strain hardening index (n ≈ 0.41). Based on the XRD, optical microscope and microhardness indentation micrographs, the deformation mechanism of Ti-13Nb-1.5Ta-3Mo was found to be a combination of stress induced transformation, mechanical twinning and slipping.

Microstructural evolutions of the 4Al alumina-forming austenitic steel after cold rolling with different reductions from 5% to 30% and then annealing were investigated using electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Tensile properties and hardness were also measured. The results show that the average grain size gradually decreases with an increase in the cold-rolling reduction. The low angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) are dominant in the cold-rolled samples, but high angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) form in the annealed samples, indicating that the grains are refined under the action of dislocations. During cold rolling, high-density dislocations are initially introduced in the samples, which contributes to a large number of dislocations remaining after annealing. With the sustaining increase in cold-rolled deformation, the samples exhibit more excellent tensile strength and hardness due to the decrease in grain size and increase in dislocation density, especially for the samples subjected to 30% cold-rolling reduction. The contribution of dislocations on yield strength is more than 60%.

Abstract Fe–23wt.%Mn–3wt.%Si–3wt.%Al alloy was cast, homogenized at 1150ºC, hot-rolled at temperatures between 1200ºC and 900ºC and next cold-rolled from 5% up to 40% reductions in thickness. Microstructure and texture of this alloy, which has a low stacking fault energy, were defined after cold-rolling. Investigation of transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction showed that mechanical twinning and martensitic transformations (γfcc→εhcp and γfcc→εhcp→α′bcc) took place during cold-rolling. The crystallographic Shoji-Nishiyama (S-N) {00.2}ε║{111}γ, <11.0>ε ║ <110>γ and Kurdjumov-Sachs (K-S) {111}γ║{101}α’, <101>γ║<111>α’ relations between martensite (ε, α’) and austenite (γ), were found in the coldrolled material.

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.

Cold rolling and salt bath annealing simulation were conducted to study the evolution of microstructure and textures of a commercially produced Titanium stabilized interstitial free steel by means of optical microscopy and X-ray texture measurement. The results show that all of the as cold-rolled specimens are completely recrystallized after annealing. As the cold-rolling reduction increases, the recystallized ferrite grains are refined, The intensities of the stable {114} and {223} components remain strong after recrystallization. The orientation intensity of the {111} and {111} also increases accordingly. As the cold-rolling reduction increases to 90%, the intensity of {111} tend to be higher than that of {111}.

The microstructure characters of pure Iron during cold rolling were studied by HEXD (high-energy x-ray diffraction). The experimental result shows that the Debby ring of HEXD before cold rolling is discrete and very strong, the discrete diffraction points become continue and smooth with the increase of cold rolling reduction. The {001}<110> textures transform to the {001}<uvw> texture after cold rolling, in this process the grains divisional are analyzed by the HEXD result.

Al-brass alloys (Cu29.5Zn2.5Al wt. %) were produced by gravity casting and homogenized at 800?C for 2 h, resulting in a binary phase morphology identified as cubic ? and martensitic ?? phases through X-ray diffraction (XRD). Samples were then subsequently cold rolled and annealed at 150, 300, 400, and 600?C for 30 minutes. Visible traces of slip, intersecting slip bands, and shear bands were observed in microstructure images of the samples after each progressive deformation stage. Deformation-induced martensites were present after 20 % cold rolling. Higher thickness reduction resulted in simultaneous strain hardening of the phases. Low temperature annealing slightly increased microhardness, of both ? and ??, due to the formation of precipitates. SEM-EDX analysis showed that no solute segregation was found in annealed samples. Annealing at higher temperature resulted in conventional softening. Recrystallized equiaxed ?? phase grains were visible after annealing at 600?C.

The effects of precipitated phases during aging treatment on the properties of the Cu-Be alloy have been extensively studied. In this study, the effect of cold rolling on the precipitated phases of the Cu-Be alloy compared with non-deformed alloy during isothermal and low heating rate aging of 20C/min have been investigated. Hardness changes, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dilatation analysis, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used in this study. Hardening and contraction were strongly increased at an early aging time for the cold rolled Cu-Be alloy. In addition, the DSC curves revealed an exothermic peak from the γ΄΄ phase. This peak increased and shifted to lower aging time by increasing the cold rolling reduction. In addition, the hardness remarkably increased at lower aging temperatures for the cold rolled specimens. The contraction from the dilatation curves and the exothermic peaks shifted to lower aging temperatures in cold rolled specimens. The hardening of Cu-Be alloy is believed to be from the γ΄ phase, and the contraction and the first exothermic peak in DSC curves from γ΄΄ phase. TEM observations are in a good agreement with the above explanation and strongly revealed that γ΄΄ and γ΄ phases were highly accelerated by the effect of cold rolling

Lower cold rolling reductions before reversion annealing for the grain size refinement are desired in industrial practice. This study demonstrates the effect of a low (32%) cold rolling reduction on cyclic behavior of a partially reversed (750 °C for 0.1s) structure in a 17Cr-7Ni-N type 301LN austenitic stainless steel and compares it with those of a 63% cold rolled and annealed and with a conventional coarse-grained structure. Stress amplitude and the amount of deformation-induced martensite formed under cyclic loading at the 0.6% total strain amplitude were recorded. The results showed that the partially reversed structure after the 32% cold rolling reduction exhibits the similar cyclic stress amplitude level and slight cyclic hardening as the 63% cold-rolled counterpart does. Even though the grain size refinement remains less effective at the lower reduction, the microstructure consists of higher fractions of strong retained cold-deformed austenite and martensite phases which increase the flow resistance. However, the coarse-grained structure exhibits a much lower initial stress amplitude and much more pronounced cyclic hardening. The susceptibility of austenite to transform deformation-induced martensite is practically similar among these three structures. However, the cyclic hardening is a caused by the formation of deformation-induced martensite, and the difference in the degree of cyclic hardening results from the big difference in the strength of the austenite between the partially reversed fine-grained and coarse-grained structures.

This present paper is aims to study the influence of cold rolling process on the microstructure and corrosion behaviors of 316L stainless steel using potentiodynamics polarization testing techniques. The steel with initial thickness of 2.0 mm was unidirectional cold rolled to 10%, 30% and 50% reduction in thickness. The corrosion behaviors of the cold rolled steels were evaluated in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) as their simulated body fluids environment. The pH and temperature of the solution was maintained at 7.31 and 37°C and took approximately 5 hours for each individual test. The microstructure observations of the steels were studied using optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the cold rolling process has modified the microstructure of 316L stainless steel by producing extensive surface defects. The microstructure modifications of the cold-rolled steel caused to enhance the corrosion resistance by lowering its corrosion rate to 23% and reduce the pitting resistance by lowering its breakdown potential to 61%. The pit corrosion was extensively appeared after reaching the breakdown potential.
