摘要：The possibility of refining the grain structureof a commercial Al-Mg-Si alloy wasevaluated using asymmetric rolling (ASR) andaccumulative roll bonding (ARB) in the severeplastic deformation (SPD) regime. Bars ofannealed alloy having a thickness of 10 mmwere asymmetrically rolled down to athickness of 0.23 mm with a laboratoryrolling mill featuring the possibility ofindependently modifying the rotational speedof its two rolls. The effect of the rollingtemperature was investigated by tests in therange 150-250°C. A parallel campaign wasalso conducted to investigate the effects ofwarm accumulative roll bonding of the samealloy and in the same temperature range.These tests were carried out on annealedsamples of 1 mm thickness. The experimentalcharacterization (both mechanical andm i c ro s t ructural) demonstrated thatasymmetric rolling and accumulative rollbonding can readily promote the achievementof ultrafine grained structures in Al-Mg-Sialloys.
