Abstract

The results of studies carried out on AA1200 aluminum alloy deformed by Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) are presented in this paper. The commercial purity material was deformed up to 10 cycles (equivalent plastic strain of 8) at room temperature. The deformed microstructures and the crystallographic textures were characterized by transmission (TEM) and scanning (SEM) electron microscopes and high resolution orientation mapping. It was found that increased deformation leads to a strong increase of quantity of high angle (>15°) grain boundaries and strong grain refinement (up to 200-300 nm). The microstructure observations and TEM and SEM local orientation measurements allowed identifying fine and strongly disoriented planar dislocation structure of nanolayers described by strong texture components close to two nearly complementary positions of {112} orientation.
