Evolution of texture during accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and its comparison with normal cold rolled aluminium–manganese alloy

Influence of the Processing Temperature on the Microstructure, Texture, and Hardness of the 7075 Aluminum Alloy Fabricated by Accumulative Roll Bonding

“…[13,14] According to the EBSD maps of the accumulative roll bonded samples, each of the different rolling texture components tend to concentrate in different regions, usually separated by HABs. However, these differently oriented regions are the smallest in size for the 35DT3 sample and the largest for the 40DT3 one, in such a way that, in the map of the latter accumulative roll bonded sample, only one texture component is seen.…”

“…Additionally, similar textures to those obtained by conventional rolling are generated by ARB. [13,14] In the present investigation, a 3:1 reduction per pass ARB process was applied to the commercial 7075 aluminum alloy at three different temperatures for which a good bonding is achieved (300°C, 350°C, and 400°C). This alloy is one of the strongest wrought aluminum alloys, and as such, it is widely used for the construction of plane structures such as wings and fuselages because of its excellent strength/weight rate.…”

Microstructure and texture evolution during accumulative roll bonding of aluminium alloys AA2219/AA5086 composite laminates

“…The microstructure and texture evolution in ARBprocessed pure aluminium (1xxx) [10] as well as 2xxx [11], 3xxx [12], 5xxx [13], 6xxx [14], 7xxx [15], and 8xxx [16] series aluminium alloys has been extensively studied. More specifically, the ARB of Al-Mn alloy [17,18], Al-Si alloy [19], Al-Fe-Si alloy [20], Al-Sc alloy [21] etc. has been reported in literature.…”

Nanostructure, Texture Evolution and Mechanical Properties of Aluminum Alloys Processed by Severe Plastic Deformation

“…Schematic illustration showing the procedure of the ARB process (Pirgazi et al, 2008a) The first scientific paper on the ARB was published in 1998 and afterwards extensive studies have been conducted regarding the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of various materials processed in different ARB cycles. Pure aluminum (Huang et al, 2003;Saito et al, 1998;Tsuji et al, 2003a), AA5083 (Saito et al, 1999), AA6061 (Lee et al, 2002;Park et al, 2001), AA8011 (Kim et al, 2002(Kim et al, , 2005, AA3103 (Chowdhury et al, 2006a) and AA8090 (Chowdhury et al, 2006b) aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys (del Valle et al, 2005;Pérez-Prado et al, 2004), and Ti-IF steel sheets Tsuji et al, 2002a) are the most important materials which have already been successfully produced by the ARB process. The results of these investigations mainly indicate that during the first stages of ARB, ultra-fine grains with diameter less than 1 μm partially form in the sheets, and the volume fraction of these grains increases with increasing the number of cycles, so that after high levels of strain the sample is completely covered with ultra-fine lamellar grains which are not equi-axed and represent an aspect ratio bigger than one (Huang et al, 2003;Park et al, 2001;Saito et al, 1998;Tsuji et al, 2003a).…”

“…Nevertheless, the EBSD technique is the only possible tool for nanoscale analysis of relatively large areas in severely deformed materials at present (Tsuji et al, 2002a). It has been reported (Chowdhury et al, 2006a) that the texture development in an AA3103 alloy during accumulative roll bonding process shows symmetry at all stages and the major components can be characterized as the Dillamore {4411} <11 11 8> component along with the S component with a scatter around the brass component. It has been also reported that in AA8011 aluminum alloy sheets processed by ARB, the deformation texture is dominated by the Dillamore component and the shear texture was developed near the surface of the sheets.…”
