In the present study, the aluminum (Al) 1050–FeTiO3 composite was fabricated through accumulative roll bonding process, and the resultant mechanical properties were evaluated at different deformation cycles at ambient temperature. The effect of the addition of FeTiO3 particle on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of the composite during accumulative roll bonding was investigated. The Al–2, 4, and 8 vol.% FeTiO3 composites were produced by accumulative roll bonding at room temperature. The results showed improvement in the dispersions of the particles with the increase in the number of the rolling cycles. In order to study the mechanical properties, tensile and hardness tests were applied. It was observed that hardness and tensile strength improve with increasing accumulative roll bonding cycles. The microhardness and tensile strength of the final composites are significantly improved as compared to those of original raw material Al 1050 and increase with increasing volume fraction of FeTiO3, reaching a maximum of ∼75 HV and ∼169 MPa for Al–8 vol.% FeTiO3 at seventh cycle, respectively.

This paper aimed to propose the fabrication of light, Al/Mg/Al multilayered composite. Initially prepared three-layered feedstock was subjected to deformation during four rolling cycles (passes) using the conventional and modified accumulative roll bonding (ARB) processes at 400 °C, thanks to which 24-layered composite materials were produced. The modification of the ARB process was based on the application of the rotational speed asymmetry (asymmetric accumulative roll bonding, AARB). It was adopted that the initial thickness of the composite stack amounted to 3 mm (1 mm for each composite). The rolling was done in the laboratory duo D150 rolling mill with the application of the roll rotational speed asymmetry and symmetry av = 1.0 (ARB) and av = 1.25 and 1.5 (AARB). In this manuscript, it was proved that introducing the asymmetry into the ARB process for the tested Al/Mg/Al composite has an impact on the activation of additional shear bands, which results in higher fragmentation of the structure in comparison to the symmetrical process. Due to the application of the AARB, the reduction of the grain size by 17% was obtained, in comparison to the conventional ARB. Not to mention that at the same time there was an increase in strength of the fabricated multilayered composite.

Ultrafine Grained

Accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) process is one of the severe plastic deformation processes for fabricating ultrafine grained materials that exhibit high strength. In aluminum alloys, aging heat treatment has been an important process for hardening materials. In order to achieve good mechanical properties through the combination of grain refinement hardening and precipitation hardening, an Al-4.2wt%Ag binary alloy was used in the present study. After a solution treatment at 550°C for 1.5hr, the alloy was severely deformed by the ARB process at room temperature (RT) up to 6 cycles (equivalent strain of 4.8). The specimens ARB-processed by various cycles (various strains) were subsequently aged at 100, 150, 200, 250°C, and RT. The hardness of the solution treated (ST) specimen increased by aging. On the other hand, hardness of the ARB processed specimen decreased after aging at high temperatures such as 250°C. This was probably due to coarsening of precipitates or/and matrix grains. The specimen aged at lower temperature showed higher hardness. The maximum harnesses achieved by aging for the ST specimen, the specimens ARB processed by 2 cycles, 4 cycles and 6 cycles were 55HV, 71HV, 69HV and 65HV, respectively. By tensile tests it was shown that the strength increased by the ARB process though the elongation decreased significantly. However, it was found that the tensile elongation of the ARB processed specimens was improved by aging without sacrificing the strength. The results suggest that the Al-Ag alloy having large elongation as well as high strength can be realized by the combination of the ARB process for grain refinement and the subsequent aging for precipitation hardening.

As the applications of heterogeneous materials expand, aluminum laminates of similar materials have attracted much attention due to their greater bonding strength and easier recycling. In this work, an alloy design strategy was developed based on accumulative roll bonding (ARB) to produce laminates from similar materials. Twin roll casting (TRC) sheets of the same composition but different cooling rates were used as the starting materials, and they were roll bonded up to three cycles at varying temperatures. EBSD showed that the two TRC sheets deformed in distinct ways during ARB processes at 300°C. Major recrystallizations were significant after the first cycle on the thin sheet and after the third cycle on the thick sheet. The sheets were subject to subsequent aging for better mechanical properties. TEM observations showed that the size and distribution of nano-precipitations were different between the two sheet sides. These nano-precipitations were found to significantly promote precipitation strengthening, and such a promotive effect was referred to as hetero-deformation induced (HDI) strengthening. Our work provides a new promising method to prepare laminated heterogeneous materials with similar alloy TRC sheets.
