Evolution of Strain States and Textures in Aa 5052 Sheet During Cross-Roll Rolling

Abstract

Cross-roll rolling of AA 5052 sheets was carried out using a rolling mill in which the roll axes are tilted by ±7.5° away from the transverse direction of the rolled sample. Besides cross-roll rolling, normal-rolling using a conventional rolling mill was also carried out with the same rolling schedule for clarifying the effect of cross-roll rolling. The evolution of strain states during cross-roll rolling was investigated by texture measurements and by three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) simulation. Cross-roll rolling gives rise to the operation of all three shear components ε 12, ε 13 and ε 23 in the roll gap. This complex shear states during cross-roll rolling strongly reduce the intensities of the deformation texture components.

Study on Rolling Defects of Al-Mg Alloys with High Mg Content in Normal Rolling and Cross-Rolling Processes

“…Among the various processing methods for Al-Mg alloys, conventional normal rolling and cross rolling are commonly employed. These two methods have a notable influence on defect formation and strain distribution during the processing of the alloy [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 20 ]. Understanding and controlling these defects and strain distributions are crucial as they can significantly affect the final mechanical properties of the alloy.…”

Texture Development in a Special Rolled AA6016 Aluminum Alloy

“…Pseudo cross-rolling resulted in weaker deformation textures which were intermediate between unidirectional and true cross-rolling textures [3]. Kim [7] studied the evolution of strain state and textures in AA5052 sheets during a special cross-rolling. The textures of the conventionally rolled sample displayed orthotropic sample symmetry, while those of the cross-rolled material depicted monoclinic sample symmetry.…”
