Abstract

Effect of 1 pct (cycle skin-pass rolling) and 10 pct (conventional rolling) reduction ratio per pass on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of high-purity nickel was investigated. Cycle skin-pass rolling produces greater grain refinement, higher strength and elongation than conventional rolling. A high dislocation strengthening, particularly statistical storage dislocations, contributes to higher strength. The large dislocation cell structure and low intracellular dislocation density contribute to its high capacity for strain hardening, resulting in excellent elongation.
