The high-friction cold-rolling is not a rewarding process to improve the press-formability of aluminium sheets. However, some increase in the r-value may be expected when high-friction is applied during a final moderate reduction. Aluminium sheets heavily cold-rolled directly after hot-rolling applying good lubricating condition and then fully annealed, possess the optimum press-formability among other sheets similarly processed but subjected to different annealing conditions at the intermediate stage between the hot-rolling and cold-rolling processes.}, pages = {287--294}, title = {Examination of some processing variables to improve the press-formability of aluminium sheets}, volume = {27}, year = {1976} }
