On the basis of Taylor-Bishop-Hill’s theory, many previous theoretical investigations have predicted that, at high rolling reductions, most of orientations should rotate along theβfiber from {110}<112> to {123}<634> and finally into the {112}<111> stable end orientations. Although some exceptions exist, experimental observations have shown, on the other hand, that the maximum on the β fiber is located still at about {123}<634> even after 97 % cold rolling. In the present paper, high purity Al containing 50 ppm Cu was cold rolled up to 99.4 % reduction in thickness and examined whether {112}<111> stable end orientation could be achieved experimentally. It was found that, with increasing rolling reduction above 98 %, {110}<112> decreased, while orientations in the range between {123}<634> and {112}<111> increased, suggesting that crystal rotation along the βfiber from {110}<112> toward {123}<634> and {112}<111> in fact took place. At higher rolling reductions, however, further rotation of this peak toward {112}<111> was extremely sluggish, and even at the highest rolling reduction, it could not arrive at {112}<111>. Such discrepancies between theoretical predictions and experimental observations should be ascribed to the development of dislocation substructures, which were formed by concurrent work hardening and dynamic recovery. Since such development of dislocation substructures are not taken into account in Taylor-Bishop-Hill’s theory, it seems that they can not correctly predict the development of rolling textures at very high rolling reductions, i. e. stable end orientations. On annealing specimens rolled above 98 % reduction in thickness, cube textures were very weak, suggesting that cube bands were almost completely rotated into other orientations during cold rolling. {325}<496>, which lay at an intermediate position between {123}<634> and {112}<111> along theβfiber, developed strongly in the recrystallization textures.

The texture development during cold rolling and recrystallization of L12-type Co3Ti alloys was investigated as functions of alloy composition and rolling reduction. Two kinds of fully annealed Co3Ti alloys with different alloy compositions (Co77Ti23 and Co78Ti22), whose initial textures and grain sizes were almost identical, were used. After 70% reduction, the cold-rolling textures of both alloys were composed of strong α-fiber and weak β-fiber textures, in which the intensity of {011}〈211〉 orientation was higher than those of {112}〈111〉 and {123}〈634〉 orientations, indicating that texture transition from copper type to brass type occurred in cold-rolled Co3Ti alloys. This texture transition was more prominently recognized in the Co78Ti22 alloy, whose chemical composition was more off-stoichiometric. On the other hand, the recrystallization textures of both alloys were considerably weak, and their orientation spreads were more significant with increasing rolling reduction. Also, the recrystallization textures were basically independent of alloy composition in contrast to the rolling textures.

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%.

The deformation behaviours and microstructure transformations during the cold rolling process of Al-1.4Fe-0.2Mn alloy sheets prepared from 99.7% pure aluminium were investigated by means of hardness-testing, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The phenomena of work hardening and work softening were observed. The hardness of Al-1.4Fe-0.2Mn alloy sheets increased with the increasing of cold rolling reduction firstly, and reached to a peak at 80% cold rolling reduction, meaning work hardening. However, with further increasing of cold rolling reduction, the hardness decreased, which indicates work softening. During the initial deformation stage, the dislocation density and the number of sub-grain structures increased gradually, and many dislocations formed tangles, resulting in work hardening. When the cold rolling reduction exceeded 80%, the dislocation density decreased and sub-grain structures polygonized, leading to work softening. The forming of Mn, Fe and Si bearing compounds is an important reason for the work softening due to lowering solid solution content.

Less attention has been paid to study the recrystallization and grain growth behavior of severe plastically deformed (SPD) metals specially steels that are deformed to very high strain by conventional rolling method. Present work has been focused on systematic investigation of recrystallization and grain growth behavior of a Aluminium Killed (AK), an Interstitial Free (IF) and an Interstitial Free High Strength (IFHS) steels that were subjected to very high levels of strain (ԑeqv= 4.51) by cold rolling. The cold rolled steels show fine lamellar structure with very strong texture consists of both γ and α fibre. All the steels show formation of ultrafine grains and dramatic rise in the intensity of α fibre component in the early stages of annealing. However, progress of annealing for longer time leads to an increase in the mean grain size as well as γ fibre intensity. The results also indicate that the heavily cold rolled material exhibit selective growth of specific texture components.It appears that microstructure and texture is closely related to the observed phenomenon.

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}.

In high purity (4N) Al containing 50 ppm Cu, very strong cube textures can be developed by cold rolling 98 % and annealing at 500 °C. The orientation density in this material amounted to as much as 220 times random, i. e. about 3 times stronger than that observed in standard 4N Al. It is expected that the origins of cube textures should be most unambiguously clarified by using this material. Commercial hot bands of this materials were cold rolled 98 % to the thickness of 132 μm and isothermally annealed at 230 °C. Detailed EBSP analyses were made both on the rolling plane and on the longitudinal section at each stage of annealing. It was found that in the hot band of this high purity Al, cube orientations were mostly rotated away into other orientations due to low temperature hot rolling with high rolling reductions. Therefore, regions having cube orientations were very few. They were not present in the form of so called cube bands, which had been reported in previous investigations, but in the form of isolated, rather equi-axed recrystallized grains. After 98 % cold rolling, these remaining cube regions were fragmented, and further rotated away into other orientations, so that only very few cube oriented regions were observed in the cold rolled materials. However, it was from such deformed cube oriented regions that the most potential exact cube recrystallized grains were formed. They were nucleated much earlier and grew much faster than grains of other orientations.

Work hardening is one of the most widely used methods in strengthening metals by increasing dislocation density, which can be achieved by raising plastic strain and/or suppressing dynamic recovery of the dislocations upon plastic deformation. Based on the analyses on the data reported in our previous work in cold-rolled Pd-H system (Scripta Materialia, Vol. 68 (2013), p. 743), we propose a new strategy in hardening Pd using hydrogen as a catalytic element. It is shown that since the introduction of hydrogen facilitates dislocation formation and increases the dislocation density in Pd upon plastic deformation, subjected to a same deformation level and subsequent removal of hydrogen, Pd can obtain a higher hardness compared to that without hydrogenation before deformation. It is further pointed out that the proposed strategy may, in addition, be applied to other metals, which can dissolve a relatively large amount of hydrogen, e.g. magnesium, nickel and niobium.
