Initial solution treatment (ST) of aluminium alloys prior cryorolling (CR) enhances the ultrafine grain structure formation hence, improving their mechanical and corrosion properties. However, determining the appropriate ST temperature is crucial to obtain the optimum properties. In this work, ST followed by cryorolling of AA 5052 alloy was performed at varying temperatures; 480°C, 510°C and 540°C. Mechanical and microstructural characterization of the cryorolled samples with and without ST and the base metal were performed using Vickers hardness tester, universal tensile testing machine, FESEM, EBSD and HRTEM. All the ST cryorolled samples showed the finer structure and better mechanical and corrosion performances than those without ST and the base metal. The smallest crystallite size and lattice strain achieved were 24.88 nm and 3.86×10 −3 respectively at 540°C. The hardness, yield and tensile strength increased with increasing the ST temperature with the highest values of 85.2 Hv, 254.82 MPa and 303.35 MPa, respectively, at 540°C. Cryorolled sample solution treated at 540°C also showed the highest corrosion resistance based on low corrosion current and high corrosion potential. The work gives the appropriate ST temperature at which improved microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties of the cryorolled AA5052 can be obtained.
