“…Nevertheless, the hardness change patterns observed as a result of the present research have been identified for other screw rolling temperature and deformation regimes and for other materials, such as titanium alloy [30], steels [29,31], nickel alloy [32] and magnesium alloy [33]. Microstructure twist, as illustrated in Figure 10b,c, was identified for the three-high screw rolling of commercial pure aluminum billet at completely different temperatures from the current study temperature and deformation regimes [36], three-high screw rolling of AISI 1020 steel billet [37], and of AISI 321 steel billet [36]. These data indicate that stress-strain influences the microstructure and hardness formation substantially (independently form the regimes and rolled billet material), and its effect should be one of the key issues for examination in future research into screw rolling and RSR processes.…”
