Abstract
During cold rolling, the surface and the near-surface region of a metal sheet are submitted to deformation states different from the bulk of the sheet. Indeed, the principal shear directions vary from the surface to different depths inside the sheet. The aim of the present study was to understand the influence of the working process on the nature and behavior of the surface and subsurface layers of a cold rolled Al-4.7wt.%Mg alloy. Features such as microstructure and texture have been investigated using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and electron micro-diffraction. Chemical characterization has been performed by using Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) and Glow-Discharge Optical Spectrometry (GDOS).
