In this study, direct powder rolling was applied to make thin sheets from HDH (hydrogenation and dehydrogenation) powders. Effects of materials and process parameters on tensile properties of sintered sheets are investigated. In the direct powder rolling with two-horizontal counter-rotating rollers, materials parameters including powder size and process parameters such as roll gap, roll speed, and packing height are controlled. With -100mesh Ti powders, CP titanium sheets of a thickness up to 1.5mm and a width up to 300mm were obtained without any rolling defects. Sintering of the rolled strips was performed between 1000°C and 1250°C at 50°C intervals for 1hour to 4 hours. The relative density of the sintered strips was found to be around 85 to 90 percent. After sintering, the complete densification was made by cold rolling, and microstructures and tensile properties were evaluated after annealing treatment at 750°C for 2 hours.

The microstructure evolution and control for Alloy 690 during cold rolling and annealing treatment was investigated. Cold rolling specimens were deformed in the strain range from 15% to 70% with strain rates from 0.01 to 10s-1. Subsequent annealing treatment was carried out in the range of 1060~1100°C for dwell time 3~15mins. Rolling reduction, annealing temperature and annealing time except strain rate had obviously influence on grain size and hardness. Little coarsening of grains were observed below 1060°C during annealing treatment, whereas grains coarsened obviously over 1080°C. Besides, the behavior of grain growth for alloy 690 was investigated systematically.

The 4.2wt.%Si non-oriented electrical steel thin sheets with the thickness of 0.30mm were produced by the conventional procedure including hot rolling, cold rolling and annealing. The recrystallization texture was analyzed with emphasis on the effect of normalizing annealing. The results show that the  fiber with peak at {111} is weaker and η fiber is stronger in the sheets with normalizing annealing than those without normalizing annealing, either under the cold rolled reduction of 77% or 86%. Effects of normalizing annealing on the recrystallization texture can be explained in terms of the characteristic of the shear bands formed during cold rolling process.

This study focuses on the microstructure and texture evolution of a Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr alloy during cold rolling and annealing treatments. Three samples with different initial microstructures were cold rolled to a 40% reduction in thickness. The starting microstructure of one sample was single β phase while two other specimens were α+β phases with different α particle sizes, distributed in β grains. For all three samples, the average size of primary β grains was 150 µm. The cold rolled specimens were then annealed at 860 °C (10 °C above the β transus temperature) for 5 minutes followed by water quenching. Microstructure development during cold rolling and recrystallization was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique. Microstructure investigations showed that massive amount of shear bands occurred during the cold rolling of the single β phase sample while only a few shear bands were observed in the α+β cold rolled microstructures. The cold rolled texture of the sample comprised of a single β phase contains a gamma fibre (//ND) and a partial alpha fibre (//RD). Annealing treatment decreased the intensity of the cold rolled texture in the single β phase sample. Also, it was found that the presence of α precipitates changes the common annealing texture observed in the single β phase specimen.

This work focused on the grain refinement and investigation its effect on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties. The magnesium alloy AZ31 sheet was processed by repeated cold rolling and recrystallized annealing. From the experimental works, the fine and equiaxed grains with less than 5 μm were achieved. It was found that for annealing at temperatures in the range of 523–673K, sample was fully recrystallized less than 30 minutes and after that the growth of the recrystallized grains is slight. Finally, the tensile tests were carried out to analyze the changes in the strength and fracture elongation.
