The cold roll bonding of Al on AISI 304L stainless steel was carried out to fabricate the Al/304L/Al clad sheet composites. The maximum bond strength of 20 N/mm was acquired just by 38% reduction, for which the tearing of the aluminum sheet occurred during the peeling test. The microstructural evolution during subsequent postannealing heat treatment was systematically studied based on the impur...

nowadays, equal channel angular pressing, known as the ecap process, is one of the most popular methods for manufacturing ultra-fine grained (ufg) materials. in this paper, ecap process has been carried out on pure copper and 6012 aluminum alloy up to six passes by route . principal attention was paid to the influence of parameters such as diameter, material, and the height of billet on mechani...

Twinning in metals is normally a permanent plastic deformation mechanism. Here we report reversible twinning in high stacking fault energy (SFE) aluminum. Twinning and spontaneous detwinning at the crack tip have been captured in situ during tensile straining under a transmission electron microscope. Both the in situ observation and the molecular dynamics simulations reveal a two-stage detwinni...

Metal coating, metal materials are of two or more layers. The coating metals are widely used in industry. These sheets or saving performance and cost effective solution or both the user. Performance coating metals according to usage in structural applications, settings thermal expansion of the thermo-mechanical control (thermostat), electrical, magnetic, corrosion resistant, flowering and decor...

A square sheet of aluminum foil is considered 2-dimensional because its mass is proportional to its diameter to the power of 2. A solid aluminum sphere is considered 3-dimensional because its mass is proportional to its diameter to the power of 3. An aluminum wire is considered 1dimensional because its mass is proportional to its length. The mass is proportional to length to the power of 1. Fro...

Aluminum alloy sheets have been widely used to build the thin-walled structures by mechanical clinching technology in recent years. However, there is an exterior protrusion located on the lower sheet and a pit on the upper sheet, which may restrict the application of the clinching technology in visible areas. In the present study, an improved clinched joint used to join aluminum alloy sheets wa...
