The effect of asymmetric rolling on the recrystallization texture of an AA 3003 Aluminum alloy was investigated by X-ray diffraction. It was found that the texture of asymmetrically rolled sheets prior to subsequent heat treatment promoted the formation of the <111>//ND textures, and remained after heat treatment at $275^{\circ}C$ during 20 min in salt bath condition.

The physical and mechanical properties and formability of sheet metals depend on preferred crystallographic orientations (texture). In this research work, the texture development and formability (plastic strain ratios) of AA1050 Al alloy sheets after 3 and 10 passes of asymmetric rolling and subsequent heat treatment were investigated. The plastic strain ratios of 10 passes asymmetrically rolled and subsequent heat treated samples are 1.3 times higher than those of the initial AA1050 Al alloy sheets. The ${\Delta}r$ of 10 passes of asymmetrically rolled and subsequent heat treated samples is 1/30 times lower than those of the initial AA1050 Al alloy sheets. The plastic strain ratios of 10 passes of asymmetrically rolled and subsequent heat treated Al sheets are higher than those of 3 passes ones. These results could be attributed to the formation of $\gamma$-fiber, ND//<111>, and the other texture components by means of asymmetric rolling in Al sheets.

Magnesium alloy is a metal with high specific strength and light weight, and is attracting attention as a next generation metal for environmentally friendly automobiles and transportation equipment. However, magnesium alloys have a problem of degrading formability due to the basal texture developed during processing, and their application is limited. Although active researches on the control of textures have been conducted in order to minimize this problem, there is a lack of research on the formation of microstructures and textures according to elemental differences. In this study, AZ61 and AZ80 magnesium alloys were selected to investigate the effects of aluminum addition on the microstructure development of magnesium alloys. This research has proven that the increase of the rolling rate results in the decrease of the average grain size of the two alloys, the increase of the hardness, and the increase of the fraction of twins. As shown on this research below, the basal texture developed strongly as the rolling ratio increased. On the other hand, this research also has proven that the two alloys exhibited different texture strength and distribution tendencies, which could be due to the effects of aluminum addition on work hardening, grain size, and twin behavior.

Two composites of five plies of STS/Al/Al/Al/STS and STS/Al/STS/Al/STS were produced by roll-cladding at $350^{\circ}C$ from ferritic stainless steel (STS) and aluminum (Al) sheets. In order to analyze the strain states during roll-cladding, the evolution of textures at different through-thickness positions in the roll-clad composites was investigated. Simulations with the finite element method (FEM) disclosed that a strain state which was similar to that of normal rolling with a high friction between roll surface and Al sample led to the formation of texture gradients in the Al sheets in the STS/Al/Al/Al/STS composite. Differences in the material velocity of STS and Al in the rolling direction gave rise to the formation of the shear texture in the Al sheets in the STS/Al/STS/Al/STS composite.

The plastic strain ratio is one of the factors of the deep drawability of metal sheets. The plastic strain ratio of Al sheet is low value. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the plastic strain ratio in order to improve the deep drawability of the Al sheet. This study investigated the increase in the plastic strain ratio and the texture change of AA1050 Al sheet after the hot asymmetric rolling. The average plastic strain ratio of initial AA1050 Al sheets was 0.41. After 84% hot asymmetric rolling at $400^{\circ}C$, the average plastic strain ratio was 0.77. The average plastic strain ratio of 84% hot asymmetrically rolled AA1050 Al sheet at $400^{\circ}C$ is 1.9 times higher than that of initial AA1050 Al sheet. The ${\mid}{\Delta}R{\mid}$ of 84% hot asymmetrically rolled AA1050 Al sheet at $400^{\circ}C$ is 1/2 times lower than that of initial AA1050 Al sheet. This result is due to the development of the intensity of the ${\gamma}-fiber$ texture and the decrease of the intensity of {001}<100> texture after the hot asymmetric rolling of AA1050 Al sheet.

An Eulerian finite element analysis for the steady state rolling process is addressed. This analysis combines the crystal plasticity theory fur texture development as well as the continuum damage mechanics for growth of micro voids. Although an Eulerian analysis for steady state rolling has many advantages, it needs an initial assumption about the shape of control volume. However, the assumed control volume does not match the final shapes. To effectively predict the correct shape in an assumed control volume, a free surface correction algorithm and a streamline technique are introduced. Applications to plate rolling, clad rolling, and shape rolling will be given and the results will be discussed in detail.

Asymmetrical rolling was performed with different working roll speeds of upper and lower rolls. In order to promote the shear deformation during asymmetrical rolling, various deformation parameters of initial sheet thickness, rolling reduction, roll speed ratio and roll radius are considered. The evolution of texture during asymmetrical rolling was shown by the calculation of orientation distribution function (ODF). The effect of deformation parameters on shea. deformation were investigated by simulations with the finite element method (FEM). Asymmetrical rolling gave rise to the development of pronounced strain gradients throughout the thickness layers which resulted in the formation of strong texture gradients in the sheet.

The cold rolling of metal sheets leads to the formation of an inhomogeneous microstructure and texture. The type and sharpness of texture through the thickness and the degree of inhomogeneity depend on the friction between rolls the rolled material and the geometry of the rolling gap. In order to follow the effect of friction, two kinds of stecimens were prepared by applying with and without lubrication during the cold rolling. Although the deformed microstructure of the specimens rolled without lubrication was much inhomogenous than that of the specimens rolled with lubrication, the effect of lubrication on the cold rolling texture was not found. the recrystallization behavior was strongly dependent on the deformation process. Thus, the retardation of the recrystallization was observed in the specimens rolled without lubrication.

Drawability and other mechanical properties of sheet metals are strongly dependent on their crystallographic orientations. In this paper the formability of the AA 5052 Al alloy sheets was investigated after asymmetric rolling and subsequent heat treatment. In most cases, after asymmetric rolling specimens showed a fine grain size and subsequent heat treated specimens showed that the ND // <111> texture component were observed. The anisotropy of formability is often described by the plastic strain ratios (r-value) as a function of the angle to the rolling direction in sheet metal. For a good formability, a high r-value is required in sheet metals. In the asymmetry rolled and subsequent heat treated Al alloy sheet, the variation of the plastic strain ratios have been investigated in this study, The plastic strain ratios of the asymmetry rolled and subsequent heat treated AA 5052 Al alloy sheets were higher than those of the original Al sheets. These could be related to the formation of ND // <111> texture components through asymmetric rolling in Al sheet.

The effect of lubrication on the evolution of strain states during shape rolling in AA5052 sheet was studied by the finite element method (FEM) simulation. The strain states calculated by FEM were verified by texture analysis. Shape rolling with and without lubrication produces shape-rolled samples in fairly similar outer shapes, since the distribution of normal strain components is nearly independent of the lubrication condition. In contrast, the distribution of shear strain components strongly depends on the lubrication condition. Shape rolling without lubrication gives rise to the development of strong shear strain gradients leading to the formation of highly inhomogenous textures and microstructures. The {011}//ND fiber develops during rolling with the operation of plane strain plus ${\dot{\varepsilon}}_{22}$.
