A specially designed test instrument for the cyclic bending test of strip specimens produced by RB has been proposed. The test consists in repeated pulling of a strip of sheet metal through a system of cylindrical countersamples. Samples cut along and across the sheet rolling direction were tested. The specimens were subjected to preliminary microstructural tests using an optical microscope with Nomarski contrast and scanning electron microscopy. The tests showed a slight influence of the orientation of the samples on the change of the mechanical properties of the bimetallic sheets in the cyclic bending process. In the case of samples oriented along the sheet rolling direction, discontinuities in the transition layer were found. The samples oriented perpendicularly to the rolling direction were free of this defect.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Advances in Mechanical and Materials Engineering}, author={Żaba, Krzysztof and Puchlerska, Sandra and Rusz, Stanislav and Fejkiel, Romuald}, year={2023}, month={Jan.}, pages={47-54} }
