Abstract:Twin-roll cast aluminum strips based on EN AW 3003 alloy with a small addition of Zr and Cr further processed by constrained groove pressing (CGP) were studied in this work. Vickers microhardness measurements were used to investigate an inhomogeneous distribution of microhardness as a result of an inhomogeneous strain distribution imposed by CGP. Results are consistent with the finite element method simulations of the total equivalent plastic strain which predicts higher accumulated strain in areas close to th… Show more
