Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Roll forming is an important aspect of advanced manufacturing technologies, which has the significant advantages of reducing energy consumption and cost, improving the comprehensive performance of metals and alloys, high production efficiency, and a wide application range. In recent years, rolling technology has made great progress in the control and regulation of material structures and properties, and takes the leading role in the application of automation and information technology. The aim of this Special Issue, "Microstructure and Properties of Rolled Alloy", is to showcase the latest progress and achievements of rolling technology in the field of material preparation; to summarize the future directions, key technologies, and recurrent issues in this field; and to promote the innovation and application of rolling technology. Researchers that have engaged in the roll forming of Cu alloys, Al alloys, Ti alloys, Mg alloys, Ni alloys, steel, high entropy alloys, and other alloy materials are invited to submit articles for publication.

The mixed structure of lath bainite and martensite was obtained by isothermal transformation tests at 698 K, 673 K and 623 K in ultra-high-strength steel. The interweaving mode of lath bainite and martensite was revealed by colored metallography and band contrast maps based on Gaussian fit. The crystallographic characteristics were analyzed in terms of variant pairing. The twin-related V1/V2 variant pairs were found in the region with high band contrast (BC) values, inferred as lath bainite. While in the low-BC value region, which was inferred as lath martensite, besides the dominated twin-related V1/V2 variant pair, V1/V4 variant pairs with low-angle grain boundaries were occasionally revealed. According to the classification by Takayama et al., both variant pairings of lath bainite and martensite in this work correspond to a type II mode. The present work has confirmed, even with complex microstructure, i.e., mixed lath bainite and martensite were formed depending on the processing route, bainite and martensite still follow their own rules of variant pairing.

The objective of the study is to improve understanding of the practical role of niobium (Nb) in the case of industrial inconsistent rolling processes such as the rolling of heavy gauge plates where a lower stored energy rolling practice will result in a less stable and less repeatable static recrystallization (SRX) activation that prevents complete recrystallization. In the current study, these variabilities are validated by comparing the mean flow stress (MFS) indirectly determined from the rolling force measured on a reverse four-high rolling mill stand. The material resistance to deformation and grain size evolution of a C-Mn steel during hot rolling was observed and validated with and without Nb addition. The pre-defined rolling schedule was predicted to exhibit incomplete recrystallization in the roughing phase due to the limited stored energy of deformation that resulted from low rolling loads and a higher number of rolling passes. The prior austenite grain size (PAGS) distribution was predicted and compared to the measured effective ferrite grain (FG) size distribution after the completion of hot rolling and phase transformation achieved using natural air plate cooling. Both the predicted PAG and measured FG distributions revealed the presence of multimodality, and both distributions were used for grain size reduction factor determination for γ → α transformation for the current study with 1.96 for 0 Nb and 1.70 for 240 Nb. The results presented in this paper are not only limited to the rolling schedule used in this paper because instabilities resulting in incomplete austenite conditioning are also observed when evaluating the cross-sections of other heavy plates and various steel grades utilizing different processing routes with comparable compositions such as modern lean abrasion-resistant steels, regular line pipe steels, and other similar grades.

Abstract
Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) reinforced by 1.5 and 3 wt% FeCoCrNi high-entropy alloy particles (HEAp) were obtained by a stir casting process. The AMCs strip was further prepared by room temperature rolling (RTR, 298 K) and cryorolling (CR, 77 K). The mechanical properties [...] Read more.
Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) reinforced by 1.5 and 3 wt% FeCoCrNi high-entropy alloy particles (HEAp) were obtained by a stir casting process. The AMCs strip was further prepared by room temperature rolling (RTR, 298 K) and cryorolling (CR, 77 K). The mechanical properties of the AMCs produced by RTR and CR were studied. The effect of a microstructure on mechanical properties of composites was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that CR can greatly improve the mechanical properties of the HEAp/AMCs. Under 30% rolling reduction, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the RTR 1.5 wt% HEAp/AMCs was 120.3 MPa, but it increased to 139.7 MPa in CR composites. Due to the volume shrinkage effect, the bonding ability of CR HEAp/AMCs reinforcement with Al matrix was stronger, exhibiting higher mechanical properties. Full article
