ON THE ROOM-TEMPERATURE ANNEALING OF CRYOGENICALLY-ROLLED COPPER (Preprint)

Microstructure and microtexture of highly cold-rolled commercially pure titanium

The microstructure and texture evolution of a commercially pure titanium sheet during cold-rolling is investigated in detail by X-ray diffraction and by orientation imaging in the FEG-SEM and in the TEM. The experimental data are compared with simulation results obtained by a viscoplastic self-consistent model. The aim of this work is to provide with a detailed description of the fine scale def...

Characterization of the microstructure, tensile and creep behavior of powder metallurgy processed and rolled Ti-6Al-4V-1B Alloy

This work investigated the microstructure and elevated-temperature (400-475C) tensile and tensile-creep deformation behavior of a powder metallurgy (PM) rolled Ti-6Al-4V-1B(wt.%) alloy. The PM rolled Ti-6Al-4V-1B alloy exhibited a duplex microstructure, and it did not exhibit a strong α-phase texture compared with the PM extruded Ti-6Al-4V-1B alloy. The PM rolled Ti6Al-4V-1B alloy exhibited gre...

Microstructure and its Relationship to Mechanical Properties in Equal Channel Angular Rolled Al6061 Alloy Sheets

Equal channel angular rolling (ECAR) is a severe  plastic deformation (SPD) technique which has been used to produce metal sheets with ultra-fine grain structure. In the present work, the relationships between the mechanical properties and microstructure of samples during the ECAR process have been investigated. The Rietveld method was applied to analyze the X-ray diffraction pattern and to det...

Evolution of microstructure and texture during recovery and recrystallization in heavily rolled aluminum

The annealing behavior of nanostructured aluminum AA1050 prepared by cold rolling to an ultrahigh strain (vM = 6.4) has been investigated using both transmission electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction techniques, paying particular attention to changes in microstructure and texture during recovery and their influence on subsequent recrystallization. It is found that coarsening...
