“…The material was received in the form of rolled sheets of 1.5 mm thick, and the same one as used in the previous studies. 14,15) The as-received sheets had been manufactured by the process of casting, homogenizing (at 803 K), hot rolling, cold rolling with a reduction of 75% and a final continuous annealing at 673 K. Workpiece was machined with a 500 mm length, a 20 mm width and a 1.5 mm thickness, and then was cyclic-bent continuously using a specially-designed device up to the number of passes, N CCB ¼ 50. The cumulative true strain is estimated as 5.28.…”
