- Several studies had been performed on accumulative roll bonding (ARB) for AA1050; however, most of them were conducted at room temperature. Here, the ARB process was performed on AA1050 plates through nine cycles at elevated temperature. An innovation introduced a new parameter (UTS×El.ε) to compare the strength-elongation balance between the present study and previous works. Also, as another parameter, the toughness was compared. Comparing these parameters with previous works showed that the considered samples in the present study performed 14 to 63% better than the other samples, so they were more industrially favorable in terms of mechanical behavior and performance. ARB process at elevated temperature may slightly lead to grain growth compared to room/cryogenic temperature, but creates a better elongation, which ultimately leads to a better balance of the strength-elongation parameter. The results showed that the effect of inter-cycle heating was found significant on microstructural evolution and mechanical behavior. Upon five cycles of the process, the grain size was decreased from 35 to 1.8 μm. The yield strength and ultimate strength increased up to 305% and 94%, respectively. Microhardness test showed that warm ARB reduces inhomogeneity factor in the thickness after 3 cycles. Fractography by SEM showed that the sample failed through shear ductile rupture and that the dimples became smaller, more elongated, and shallower onto the failure surface as the number of ARB cycles increased. In short, the warm process is preferred to the cold process to achieve better mechanical performance and toughness.

- In this study, the fracture toughness of the multi-layered commercial pure aluminum samples (AA1050) prepared by warm accumulative roll bonding (WARB) was investigated for the first time. Based on the ASTM E561 standard, the R-curve method was utilized to measure the plane stress fracture toughness. Compact tension (CT) samples were prepared from the sheets that were processed by different ARB cycles. Mechanical properties, microstructure, and fracture surfaces of the CT samples were studied by uniaxial tensile test, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. By increasing the number of WARB cycles, fracture toughness increased; after five cycles, 78% enhancement was observed compared to the pre-processed state. A correlation was seen between the fracture toughness variations and ultimate tensile strength (UTS). WARB enhanced UTS up to 95%, while the grain size showed a reduction from 35 to 1.8 μm. Measured fracture toughness values were compared with the room temperature ARB outcomes, and the effective parameters were analyzed. Fractography results indicated that the presence of tiny cliffs and furrows and hollow under fatigue loading zones and shear ductile rupture in the Quasi-static tensile loading zone.
