The paper aims to summarize the research on Laminar Metal Composites produced by Accumulative Roll Bonding. After some notes on the general subject, frequent material combinations and the issue of bonding are addressed. Then, the evolution of microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties typically observed in such materials is briefly summarized. Furthermore, the crucial aspect of layer continuity is discussed. In the main part, detailed experimental insight is provided for three representatives of different structural developments, namely Al2N/Al5N, Cu/Nb, and Ti/Al. The chosen systems represent different levels of component dissimilarity, as Al2N/Al5N is a combination of the same face centered cubic metal with varying purity while Cu/Nb and Ti/Al are combinations of face centered cubic with both body centered cubic and hexagonal close packed metals, respectively. As the layer thicknesses span different ranges, the composites also illustrate both the opportunities and experimental challenges of ARB Laminar Metal Composites.bonding (in the following, those processes will be referred to "ARB"), often supplemented by annealing and rolling steps. Naturally, a high percentage of the scientific attention regarding LMCs is bestowed on Al alloys, for example, [7,25,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] whose assets are excellent formability and corrosion resistance while being low in both weight and price.Al alloys are frequently combined in order to improve specific properties, for example, [51][52][53][54][55] A strong but corrosion susceptible Al alloy of series 2xxx, for example, benefits from the combination with a less strong but corrosion resistant alloy of series 6xxx. [50] Likewise, in LMCs of series 5xxx and 6xxx, both surface quality and weldability are improved due to the reduction of the PLC-effect [53] and hot cracking, [55] respectively.By combining Al with both Fe [56][57][58] or Cu, [45,59] the magnetic properties of the former and the electrical properties of the latter can be used to produce LMCs with potential in microelectronics and in electrical power industry, [60] respectively. Other components in LMCs with Cu are Ag, [61] Zn, [62] both Zn and Al, [63] and both Al and Ni. [64] Nb receives major scientific attention due to its superconducting properties, which work especially well in a finelayered structure with Cu or Al, [65] which are chosen for their low solubility in Nb and the absence of mutual intermetallics. In contrast, other LMCs are produced especially for intermetallic transition, for instance Al/Fe, [57,58,66] Al/Mg, [43,44] Al/Ti, [67][68][69][70][71] Al/Ni, [72,73] Ti/Nb, [74] or Ti/Al/Nb. [74] When high specific strength in combination with sufficient formability and ductility is the foremost requirement, Al is often combined with high-strength partners such as steel, for example, [66,75] Mg, for example, [46,76,49] Ti, for example, [67][68][69]74,[77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86] as well as both Mg and Ti. [87] Furthermore, Ti is paired with Fe, [88,89] Cu, for example, [90,...
