Novel Ultra-High Straining Process for Bulk Materials—Development of the Accumulative Roll-Bonding (ARB) Process Authored by Y. Saito, H. Utsunomiya, N. Tsuji, T. Sakai Presented by Chris Reeve September 13, 2004
Outline • Introduction • Model • Design Application • Experimental Procedure • Results • Conclusion • Questions
Introduction • Why is Accumulative Roll-Bonding important? • Ultra-fine grain materials exhibit desirable properties • High strength at ambient temperatures • High-speed superplastic deformation at elevated temperatures • High corrosion resistance • Commonly accomplished by intense plastic straining
Introduction • Processes used such as cyclic extrusion compression have two main drawbacks • Requires large load capabilities, expensive dies • Low production rate limits economic viability • Function of paper is to introduce Accumulative Roll-Bonding (ARB) as a bulk manufacturing process

Model • Principle • Rolling bond surfaces together • Refines microstructure • Improves properties. • Iterative process • Process design steps • Surface treatment • Stacking • Roll bonding (heating) • Cutting
Model • Important parameters: t, tn, n, ε, rt • For reduction of 50% in a pass • Thickness after n cycles • t = t0 / 2n • Total reduction after n cycles • rt = 1 – t / t0 = 1 – 1 / 2n • Equivalent plastic strain
Experimental Procedure • No “special” equipment needed! • Three alloys chosen • Al 1100 (commercially pure) • Al 5083 (Al-Mg alloy) • Ti-added interstitial free (IF) steel • Surfaces degreased, brushed • Strips were heated • 50 % reduction rolling under dry conditions
Results • Expected that grain refinement: • Improves mechanical properties related to strength • Decreased % elongation in direction of roll-bonding • The number of cycles required to obtain peak strength can only be determined experimentally
Conclusions • Practical industrial use for high strength structural applications • Advances rolling technology by application to a specific materials processing method • Industries most impacted: construction, marine, aerospace, automotive
