In order to investigate the roll bonding of high-alloy transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) and twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steel, roll-bonded sheets of the TRIP and TWIP steel were manufactured starting from hot rolling, followed by brushing and cold rolling. Both, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the roll-bonded sheets were characterized by metallographic investigations, and tensile and T-peel tests. Preliminary results, such as an occurrence of an adhesive bonding between two TWIP steel sheets and between TRIP and TWIP steel sheet after a thickness reduction of approximately 50% were obtained. Moreover, the formation of deformation-induced martensite leads to outstanding mechanical properties of the roll-bonded composite sheet. An ultra-fine grained microstructure was observed in the bonding zone after only one roll-bonding process. The obtained promising results demonstrate the possibility of the development of an accumulative roll-bonding process for TRIP/TWIP steel composites.

In this study, warm accumulative roll bonding process has been used to produce metal matrix composite (Al/1% Al2O3). The microstructure and mechanical properties of composites have been studied after different warm accumulative roll bonding cycles by tensile test, Vickers micro-hardness test and scanning electron microscopy. The scanning electron microscopy results reveal that during higher warm accumulative roll bonding cycles, the layers of alumina particles are broken. It leads to the generation of elongated dense clusters with smaller sizes. This microstructure evolution leads to improve the hardness, strength and elongation during the accumulative roll bonding process. The results demonstrated that the dispersed alumina clusters improve both the strength and toughness of the composites. Also, an extra pass of cold rolling on the final warm accumulative roll bonding product shows the ability to obtain further strength. In general, warm accumulative roll bonding process would allow fabricating metal particle reinforced with high uniformity, good mechanical properties and high bonding strength.

A multilayered sheet composite of commercial purity Al and Al-0.3%Sc alloys was produced by accumulative roll bonding. The final sheet material consisted of 64 ultra fine grained layers, each of ~7.8mm in thickness. The as-deformed material was annealed at temperatures ranging from 250 to 350°C to study the changes in microstructure and their associated influence on mechanical properties. The as-deformed structures largely comprised of high angle grain boundaries in the Al layers and low angle grain boundaries in the Al(Sc) layers. During annealing, the structures in the Al(Sc) layers remained unaltered, whereas the Al layers recrystallized rapidly to the full layer thickness. The mechanical properties of the Al-Al(Sc) composite were measured and found to be unique in strength and ductility with annealing temperature having a significant influence on these properties.

Aging behavior and mechanical properties of ultra fine grained Cu-Cr-Zr alloy sheet produced by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process were investigated. A Cu-0.85Cr-0.07Zr (in mass%) alloy was solution treated and then cold-rolled at ambient temperature in the sheet of 1 mm thick. The sheets were heavily deformed by ARB process at ambient temperature up to 5 cycles. The grain size was reduced down to 210 nm and the fraction of high angle grain boundaries (HAGB’s) in the specimen after ARB process was 63%. The proof stress ( σ 0.2) and elongation were 540 MPa and 10%, respectively. Due to the aging treatment, a little grain growth took place (240 nm) and the fraction of HAGB’s was increased to 67%. The proof stress and elongation of the aged one increased to 605 MPa and 15%, respectively. It was noteworthy that the electrical conductivity remarkably increased from 35% to 79%IACS by the aging treatment. It was concluded that the aging treatment after ARB process enhanced not only the mechanical properties but also the electrical conductivity in the Cu-Cr-Zr alloys.
