Interface Characteristics and Bonding Performance of the Corrugated Mg/Al Clad Plate

Abstract

In this paper, a corrugated Mg/Al clad plate was successfully manufactured by an upper corrugated roller and a lower flat roller at 400 °C rolling temperature and 35% reduction ratio. Interface bonding performance of the corrugated Mg/Al clad plate was studied by tensile-shear test. The finite element method was used to simulate the corrugated rolling process. Experiment results revealed that the Mg/Al clad plate fabricated by corrugated roller had a tight bonding interface, no crack, and no intermetallic compounds. The transverse tensile-shear strength at the trough position reached 31.22 MPa, and the tensile-shear strength at the peak position was 17.61 MPa. It can be found that the stress and strain of interface metal at the trough position were the largest through numerical simulation results. Two cross-shear zones can be formed in the rolling deformation zone of the corrugated Mg/Al clad plate, which can accelerate the metal plastic flow and promote interface close bonding.

The curvature modeling for the double layered clad plate by asymmetric rolling with different diameters

“…Meanwhile, aluminum alloy has gained attention due to its excellent properties, such as low density, high corrosion resistance, good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, etc [3][4]. The aluminum/magnesium clad plate formed by attaching the aluminum alloy plate with excellent corrosion resistance to the surface of magnesium alloy combines the excellent properties of each of the two metals [5]. In order to make the deformation of the double layer metal more coordinated, asymmetric rolling is proposed as an asymmetric rolling process.…”
