“…On the other hand, Ti-TiAl 3 metal-intermetallic laminate (MIL) composites are considered as a great potential material for aerospace, automotive, and other structural applications because of its combination of high strength, toughness, and stiffness at a lower density than monolithic titanium or other laminate systems [12]. To fabricate the MIL composites, aluminum and titanium sheets are pressed together by use of explosive welding [12,13,14] and hot press bonding [15,16,17,18]. During producing of MIL, it is indispensable to form a continuous IMCs layer at Al/Ti interface, so much so that a post-bonding annealing treatment is often employed [12,13,14,15,16,17].…”
