Tri-layered Cu/Al-Mg-Si/Cu clad composite was cold roll-bonded, and its mechanical/electrical properties were studied. In the roll-bonded and aged Cu/Al-Mg-Si/Cu clad composite, neither interfacial reaction layer nor interface defects were observed. The strength as high as 415 MPa with the conductivity of 82 % IACS was attained in 3-ply lightweight Cu/Al-Mg-Si/Cu clad composite. The ductility and conductivity of clad composite are increased appreciably with heat treatment at 175 • C. After mechanical testing, the interface crack propagation and fracture in the well-bonded interface between metallic Cu and Al occurred in softer Al matrix. The increase of detached Al lumps onto the separated Cu side in clad composite heat-treated at 175 • C strongly supports that the interface bonding can be enhanced during aging of Al-Mg-Si alloy layer in Cu/Al-Mg-Si/Cu clad composite. The increased ductility in the aged Cu/Al-Mg-Si/Cu clad composite can be attributed to the enhanced interface bonding and precipitation in Al-Mg-Si layers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
