Bonding characteristics of Al and Al-alloy strips: Processed by severe plastic deformation

Abstract

In this paper, the study of efficient bonding characteristics of AA6014 and AA1050 metal strips is carried out for Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) process. Among various Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) techniques, ARB process is widely used due to its ability to produce ultra-fine grained (UFG) or nanostructured bulk material. It has been observed that, if the experimental pressure and corresponding temperature achieve their respective threshold values, then the bonding can be successfully joined as compared to the solid state welding.
