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.

In this work, ECAP technique was combined with cold rolling process in order to enhance mechanical properties and microstructure of pure Titanium. Coarse grain (CG) Titanium with original grain size of 150 μm had been pressed by ECAP at 425oC by 4, 8 and 12 passes, respectively. This process then was followed by rolling at room temperature with 35%, 55%, and 75% rolling strains. After two steps, mechanical properties such as strength, hardness and microstructure of processed Titanium have been measured. The result indicated significant effect of cold rolling on tensile strength, hardness and microstructure of ECAP-Titanium.

The effect of annealing temperature on microstructures and mechanical properties of 1000MPa grade cold rolling steel was studied under the condition of ultra-fast cooling in the present investigation. The component of the experimental steel has been designed and the carbon content is 0.13%[wt]. A small amount of V and Nb were added to the steel. Simulated annealing steel experiment has been carried out in the laboratory condition. The experimental steel was heated to 780°C, 800°C, 820°C, 840°C, 860°C for 80s, then slowly cooled to 680°C, and finally water quenched to room temperature. The aging temperature was 240°C(for 240s) and then the steel was air cooled to room temperature. Using optical microscope, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and tensile testing machine to analyze and test the microstructures and properties of the steel after annealing process. The result showed that the microstructures of the annealed steel was martensite and ferrite, and when the annealing temperature was 820°C, the tensile strength could reach 999MPa, elongation could reach 13.3%. It was easy to see that the tensile strength increased and the elongation decreased with the increase of 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.

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.

This research studies a brand new Magnesium Lithium Alloy, LAZ1151, with trace Sc additions. The mechanical properties and microstructures of the as-cast and alloys after three and six month aging were observed and analyzed. Microstructure and XRD confirms the existence of α phase precipitates (Mg rich) in both as-cast and aging specimens of the alloy. Grain growth was observed in the alloy after room temperature aging. The tensile strength of the as-cast LAZ1151 is 147 MPa; the value is decreased to 135 MPa after six month aging, showing typical room temperature softening. Strengthening via the use of cold rolling was tried; a maximum tensile strength of 180 MPa was achieved after 90% rolling reduction, which is mainly due to strain hardening.

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%.

To provide insight into the mechanical behavior and microstructural evolution of bulk nanograined (NG) Ni-based alloys during annealing, the Ni-based alloy sheets with grain size about 50 nm was produced through severe cold-rolling at room temperature, and then the cold rolled (CRed) Ni-based alloys were annealed at different states. The evolution of the nanostructure of the CRed Ni-based alloy during annealing and corresponding change in mechanical properties was investigated. The results showed that the CRed Ni-based alloy exhibited prominent enhancement in the yield strength (YS), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), which increased respectively from 253 MPa to 1455 MPa, 684 MPa to 1557 MPa. Further increase of the YS and UTS were obtained in the annealed-CRed Ni-based alloy with dual-phase. The YS and UTS of the NG dual-phase Ni-based alloy was respectively 2013 MPa and 2061MPa, which was annealed at 700 °C for 1h. In terms of the microstructural evolution, lower density of defects on the grain boundary were observed and the nanograins can be maintained about 100 nm even when annealed for 30 h at 700 °C, which suggests high thermal stability at this temperature. Both the high thermal stability and strength are due to the formation of the γ′ precipitates and slight grain growth of the NG matrix.

AbstractCu–Sn–Fe alloys with different compositions were developed by casting, normalizing treatment, cold roll and subsequent annealing treatment. The results showed that the tensile strength and resistivity of the Cu–xSn–xFe alloys (where x represents wt.%) improved with increasing the content of Sn and Fe. Compared with the as-cast alloys, the resistivity and tensile strength of the Cu–xSn–xFe alloys after normalizing and cold rolling treatment increased. In addition, the resistivity and mechanical properties of the alloys after the annealing treatment were improved significantly. Finally, a conclusion could be drawn that the annealed Cu–2Sn–5Fe alloy had good mechanical properties and resistivity, and the values of the tensile strength, mechanical elongation and resistivity reached 552 MPa, 32 % and 1.92 μΩ cm, respectively.

AbstractPolycrystalline L12-type Ni3(Si,Ti), Co3Ti and Ni3Al alloys prepared through the thermomechanical process from arc-melted ingots were successfully cold-rolled to thin foils with a thickness of below 200μm. The cold-rolling with over 90% reduction in thickness was possible without providing intermediate annealing. The cold-rolled foils showed high tensile strength (~2GPa) at room temperature due to heavily cold rolling although no plastic elongation was observed. Room temperature tensile elongation increased with increasing annealing temperature, and reached to ~30-40% by high temperature annealing at 1173K. Among three kinds of intermetallic alloys, the Ni3(Si,Ti) foil annealed around at 900K exhibited an extremely high tensile strength and yield strength (over 2GPa) with a reasonable tensile elongation. The observed tensile properties, especially tensile strength at low temperature for the present intermetallic foils were found to be superior to those for the conventional alloys such as nickel based alloys and stainless steels.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of the Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5-XREX (RE = Yb and Ce, X = 0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5) (wt.%) alloys were investigated in the present study. Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5 is composed of three phases, namely, α-Mg, long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases, and intermetallic compounds. The content of the LPSO phases decreased with the addition of Ce and Yb, and no LPSO phases were detected in Mg88.5Zn5Y2.0Yb4.5. The alloys containing the LPSO phases possessed a stratified microstructure and exhibited excellent mechanical properties. Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 exhibited the highest creep resistance and mechanical strength at both room temperature and 200 °C, owing to its suitable microstructure and high thermal stability. The yield strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature was 358 MPa. The ultimate tensile strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature and 200 °C was 453 MPa and 360 MPa, respectively.
