In order to evaluate the microstructure and mechanical properties of cross roll rolled Ni-30Cr alloy, comparing with conventionally rolled material, this work was carried out. The materials were cold rolled to 90% in thickness reduction by conventional rolling and cross roll rolling methods and subsequently annealed at 700°C for 30 min. After this work, in order to evaluate the grain boundary character distributions of the materials, electron back-scattered diffraction technique was introduced. The application of cross roll rolling was more effective to develop the microstructure and mechanical properties than those of conventional rolling. As a result, the grain size was significantly refined to 1.3 μm in conventional rolling and 0.6 μm in cross roll rolling, compared to initial material (30 μm), respectively. Also, these grain refinements directly affected an increase in mechanical properties. In the present study, we systematically discussed the relationship between grain size and mechanical properties in terms of an increase in effective strain.

To evaluate the microstructures and mechanical properties in cross-roll rolled pure copper, comparing with conventionally rolled materials, this work was carried out. Pure copper (99.99 mass%) sheets with thickness of 5 mm were cold rolled to 90% thickness reduction by cross-roll rolling (CRR) and subsequently annealed at 400 °C for 30 min. Also, to analyze the grain boundary character distributions (GBCDs), electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) technique was employed. As a result, the cold rolled and annealed materials consisted of significantly refined grains than that of the initial material (100 mm). Especially, the CRR processed material showed more refined grain size (6.5 mm) in average than that (9.8 mm) of conventional rolling (CR). These grain refinements directly affected an increase in mechanical properties. Therefore, the microstructural and mechanical properties development observed in both processes was systematically discussed in terms of the effective strain originated by the plastic deformation.

ABSTRACTThe present study was carried out to evaluate the microstructures and mechanical properties of severely deformed Ni-30Cr alloy. Cross-roll rolling (CRR) as severe plastic deformation (SPD) process was introduced and Ni-30Cr alloy sheets were cold rolled to a 90% thickness reduction and subsequently annealed at 700 °C for 30 min so as to obtain the recrystallized microstructure. For the analysis of grain boundary character distributions (GBCDs), electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) technique was introduced. CRR on Ni-30Cr alloy was effective to enhance the grain refinement through heat treatment; consequently, average grain size was significantly reduced from 33 μm in initial material to 0.6 μm in CRR processed material. This grain refinement directly affected the mechanical properties improvement, in which yield and tensile strengths were significantly increased than those of initial material. In this study, we systematically discussed the grain refinement, accompanying with increase in mechanical properties, in terms of the effective strain imposed by CRR, comparing with conventional rolling (CR).

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. Particularly, cross roll rolling was carried out at a tilted roll mill condition of 5º from the transverse direction in RD – TD plane. Application of cross roll rolling on Ni-10Cr alloy contributed to the notable grain refinement due to higher effective strain than that of conventional rolling, consequently, average grain size was refined from 135 µm in initial material to 4.2 µm in cross roll rolled material. Furthermore, //ND texture in CRR material was well developed than that of CR material, which contributed to the mechanical properties and formability enhancement.

Furthermore, the texture development in CRR processed material, in which <112> grains were densely distributed in the normal direction (ND), was more effective to enhance the yield strength.

The grain size and the distribution of crystal orientation have an important effect on the mechanical properties of wrought AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets. Because the AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets rolled by conventional rolling have a poor formability at room temperature, a new rolling technology of differential speed rolling is used to improve the mechanical properties of AZ31B magnesium alloy. The research shows that the number of twinning crystal decreases, the number of the core of dynamically recrystallized grain increases, and the grain size become fine and isotropy by differential speed rolling with the increase of the reduction and the improving of the rolling temperature to some extent. The differential speed rolling not only improves the isotropy of the basal texture and also improves the microstructure and mechanical properties.

Mg-1.6 Gd alloy ingot were prepared by hot extrusion. The extruded alloy exhibits the recrystallised grain size and excellent mechanical properties. The aim of this study is to explore the microstructure and mechanical properties of extruded Mg-1.6 Gd to be used as implant. Extrusion was performed at temperatures of 400°C, 450 °C, 500°C and 550°C with a speed of 1mm/s and extrusion ratio of 30%. Tension and hardness testing were carried out on samples taken from extruded rod of Mg-Gd alloy. Microstructure observation revealed that all extruded alloy specimens constitued of finer grain size (~14 um) compared to that of the as-cast alloy (> 500 um) as the result of full recrystallization occured at 400 °C. The grain size increased larger with an increase temperature and the peak value is 25mm at temperature of 550 °C. Hardness of the alloy decreased as the extrusion temperature increased from 48.7 HV at 400 °C to 42 HV at 550 °C which is associated with the change in the grain size. Tensile strengths were not apparently affected by the temperature change, however, it was observed that the tensile and yield strengths dropped at 500 °C. Meanwhile, the elongation decreased with increasing temperature which reached 24 % at the lowest temperature. Detailed explaination of the relationship of microstructure and mechanical properties is discussed in this paper.

To evaluate the effect of rolling process on microstructures and textures development, this work was carried out using pure Ta sheets. For this work, conventional rolling (CR) and cross roll rolling (CRR) as a deformation process were introduced, pure Ta sheets were cold rolled to 90% in thickness reduction. After this, to obtain the recrystallized microstructure on cold rolled materials, the recrystallization heat-treatment was performed at 1200°C for 60 min under the high vacuum state. Also, to analyse the grain boundary character distributions of the annealed sheets, electron back-scattered diffraction method was introduced. As an experimental result, increase in strain rate led to the development of texture with its texture component of <111> at conventional rolling and cross roll rolling, in common. Therefore, in this study, we systematically discussed the texture development due to increase in effective strain.

Microstructure of Al-Cu-Yb and Al-Cu-Gd alloys at casting, hot-rolled -cold-rolled and annealed state were observed; the effect of annealing on the microstructure was studied, as were the mechanical properties and forming properties of the alloys, and the mechanism of action was explored. Analysis of the solidification process showed that the primary Al solidification is followed by the eutectic reaction. The second Al8Cu4Yb and Al8Cu4Gd phases play an important role as recrystallization inhibitor. The Al3Yb or (Al, Cu)17Yb2 phase inclusions are present in the Al-Cu-Yb alloy at the boundary between the eutectic and aluminum dendrites. The recrystallization starting temperature of the alloys is in the range of 250–350 °C after rolling with previous quenching at 590 and 605 °C for Al-Cu-Yb and Al-Cu-Gd, respectively. The hardness and tensile properties of Al-Cu-Yb and Al-Cu-Gd as-rolled alloys are reduced by increasing the annealing temperature and time. The as-rolled alloys have high mechanical properties: YS = 303 MPa, UTS = 327 MPa and El. = 3.2% for Al-Cu-Yb alloy, while YS = 290 MPa, UTS = 315 MPa and El. = 2.1% for Al-Cu-Gd alloy.
