Among non-destructive testing methods, a group dedicated to the assessment of the state of residual stresses can be distinguished. The method of measuring residual stresses using the Barkhausen noise method has many advantages, as evidenced by the number of publications. The residual stresses in metal products are important for the further processing of such metal, such as laser cutting or bending.

Straightening parameters were selected based on the results of numerical simulations with the use of an FEM-based computer program. The material used for research was a hot-rolled sheet metal of grade S235JR + AR with a thickness of 3 mm and width of 1500 mm after unwinding from the coil.

The bars investigated were rolled using two different types of rolling: classical rolling (Variant I) and modified rolling (Variant II). Two different temperatures (300 °C and 400 °C) for each of the variables were applied as well.

There is no analysis of the impact of the deformation path (distribution of deformation in individual passes) on the mechanical properties and the obtained bar structure. The feedstock, namely, AZ31 magnesium alloy round bars with a diameter of 30 mm, were rolled in RSR to the final diameter of 15 mm with different levels of deformation in successive passes, at a temperature of 400 °C.

The feedstock in the form of round bimetallic bars with a diameter of 22 mm and 30% of the outer aluminum layer was made through explosive welding. The bimetallic bars consisted of an AZ31 magnesium core and a 1050A aluminum outer layer.

Initially prepared three-layered feedstock was subjected to deformation during four rolling cycles (passes) using the conventional and modified accumulative roll bonding (ARB) processes at 400 °C, thanks to which 24-layered composite materials were produced. The modification of the ARB process was based on the application of the rotational speed asymmetry (asymmetric accumulative roll bonding, AARB).
