Abstract:We propose a novel processing technique called Stair Rolling Treatment (SRT) to generate a graded sheet with a functionally graded microstructure along its longitude. The SRT process generates a longitudinal plastic strain gradient by the cold rolling of a longitudinally variable-thickness plate. Microstructural and mechanical characterisation of the 304L stainless steel SRT sheets, are performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron channelling contrast imaging (ECCI), elect… Show more
