Description
Summary:This study presents the manufacturing of Al 1050/Mg AZ31B bimetallic sheets using the cool roll bonding process, followed by an investigation of the effect of annealing temperature on mechanical properties and microstructural features. Annealing treatment was performed at 200, 300, and 400 degrees Celsius. Mechanical testing includes tension, micro-hardness, three-point bending, and fracture toughness. Scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy-dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to investigate the microstructure in the infiltration zone. Mechanical testing shows that increasing the annealing temperature decreases the tensile strength of the two-layer specimens. Micro-hardness, XRD, and SEM-EDX investigations confirm the presence of intermetallic particles in the penetration zone. The Micro- hardness test showed that with the increase of the annealing temperature, the hardness in the penetration zone of Al 1050/Mg AZ31B increases. This increase in micro-hardness result confirms the presence of harder intermetallic phases with increasing annealing temperature in the penetration zone.
