Comparison of the thermal stability between electro-deposited and cold-rolled nanocrystalline copper samples

The objective of this work is to investigate the microstrain effect on grain growth and strain release processes in nanocrystalline (nc) samples. Two kinds of nc Cu samples were studied by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM): an electro-deposited nc Cu sample with an average grain size of about 30 nm and one after col...

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...

Kinetics of individual grains during recrystallization of cold-rolled copper

The formation of a recrystallization texture is closely related to the nucleation and growth of recrystallizing grains, which may vary from grain to grain. Cube texture is a commonly observed recrystallization texture in face centered cubic metals of medium to high stacking fault energy after heavy cold-rolling and annealing. In this work, recrystallization of pure copper cold-rolled to a von M...

Vanadium in Cold-rolled Sheet Steels

In hot rolled products, which are the subject of other presentations here, vanadium has been used for many years in high strength products, often in combination with other microalloying additions such as niobium or titanium. Vanadium can provide important contributions via both precipitation strengthening and ferrite grain refinement (due to austenite conditioning during thermomechanical proces...
