    Abstract

    Nanostructured interstitial free (IF) steel has been produced by accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) for 6 cycles, and post-process treatments by recovery annealing and cold rolling up to 50% thickness reductions have been employed to explore the optimization of structure and mechanical properties. Structural parameters including boundary spacing, misorientation angle, and dislocation density have been quantified by means of transmission electron microscopy and mechanical properties have been determined by tensile testing for the as-ARB processed samples and for the post-process treated samples. Annealing-induced hardening and low-strain cold rolling (
