Abstract
The methods of manufacturing a clad plate being used now in industry is the cold or heat rolling bonding, explosion bonding, and diffusion bonding. These methods are disadvantageous because they are not suitable for thick and wide plates. Also, conventional bonding processes are strongly dependent to metallurgical properties of materials, requires higher energy, and are difficult for brittle materials. The combination of materials with big difference of yield stress may exhibit another difficulties in conventional bond processes. A new method of manufacturing a clad plate using Metallurgical Mechanical Bonding is proposed in this paper. It uses localized plastic flow that occurs in bounding area. As a first step of investigation, bonding characteristics are examined and discussed.
