“…[11][12][13] Variants of the SPD techniques such as asymmetric cryorolling, [14,15] Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) [16,17] and Asymmetric Rolling (AR) [18,19] have been developed to enable bulk fabrication of nanostructured/ultrafine-grained metal sheets/foils. The ARB and AR techniques can be used to produce continuous products and are more feasible for practical application in industries.…”

As product miniaturization is becoming widely popular, many microparts are being produced by microforming of sheets/foils, whose strength needs to be able to maintain structural stability of the microcomponents. In addition, their strength and ductility of foils generally reduce with a reduction in the thickness due to the size effect. In this paper, we report the fabrication of an aluminum laminate foil using a combined process of accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and asymmetric rolling (AR). It was found that this improves both strength and ductility. TEM results show that the laminate structures produced by ARB develop an inhomogeneous microstructure with nanoscale grains and abnormal coarsening in some grains during AR processing. Both these effects result in an improved ductility and strength. Using these rolled products, micro-cups of very small wall thickness/cup diameter ratio (1/200) have been successfully fabricated by micro-deep drawing without the need for annealing.

“…This matches well with the value reported by Wen et al, [32] who found that coarse copper powders attained an ultimate stable grain size of ~100 nm during HPT at room temperature. For UFG AA5052 sheets, Yu et al [22] investigated the grain distribution at the fracture surface and proposed a relationship between ductile fracture and grain refinement during deformation besides the void nuclear and growth. As the grains are refined to a nano size approaching the theoretical minimum achievable value, the material becomes brittle in the shear band zone.…”

Grain growth and grain refinement behavior during deformation determine the strength and ductility of ultrafine-grained materials. We used asymmetric cryorolling to fabricate ultrafine-grained copper sheets with an average grain width of 230 nm and having a laminate structure. The sheets show a high-true failure strain of 1.5. Observation of the microstructure at the fracture surface reveals that ultrafine laminate-structured grains were simultaneously transformed into both equiaxed nanograins and coarse grains under tensile deformation at room temperature. Abstract: Grain growth and grain refinement behavior during deformation determines the strength and ductility of ultrafine-grained materials. We used

Interest in ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials has grown rapidly in past 20 years. This review focuses on the application of special rolling techniques for improvement of the mechanical properties of UFG metal sheets. These techniques include asymmetric rolling, cryorolling, asymmetric cryorolling, cross-accumulative roll bonding, and skin-pass rolling. The techniques also include a combination of processes such as equal channel angular press and subsequent rolling, combined high-pressure torsion and subsequent rolling, as well as combined accumulative roll bonding and subsequent asymmetric rolling. We also discuss the main mechanisms leading to improvement in the ductility of UFG materials related to the special rolling techniques. properties of ultrafine-grained (UFG) metal sheets.
