Influence of homogenization on the microstructure, mechanical properties and texture of the twin-roll cast AA8006 sheet processed by accumulative roll-bonding
2020
Abstract
Unhomogenized and homogenized AA8006 (Al-Fe-Mn-Si) alloy sheets twin-roll cast to strip 8.5 mm thick, processed by accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) on 2 mm thick sheets up to 6 cycles were studied. The microstructure was characterized by means of scanning and transmission electron microscopy and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), mechanical properties were monitored by hardness measurements and tensile tests.
The macroscopic texture was determined by X-ray diffraction.
