The effects of postrolling heat treatment on the mechanical property and microstructure of 1050 aluminum alloy and 304 stainless steel (SS) clad metals were investigated. Clad metals were made by cold rolling after surface treatments of both sheets followed by heat treatment at 500 °C for various annealing times. The effects of transformation of microstructure at the interface on bonding strength are discussed. The initial clad roll bonding of Al/stainless steel clad metal was bonded by mechanical locking at the interface. The protruding stainless steel in the interface is the diffusion route and forms the better joint with aluminum in the annealing process, which results in the enhancement of the bonding strength. Intermediate layers were formed for over 2 h. It resulted in the weakening of the bonding strength and the fracture surface transforms into a brittle structure. As Al/stainless steel clad metals were under 13% reduction ratio, it had the optimum bond strength with a heat treatment for 1 h at 500 °C.

In order to research the effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of stainless/carbon steel bimetal plate, the annealing process at 700°C with different times was carried out for stainless/carbon steel bimetal plate. Because the carbon content of carbon steel was higher than that of stainless steel, the carbon would diffuse from carbon steel to stainless steel in the bimetal plate during the annealing process. The carbon diffusion would cause the thickness of the decarburized layer in carbon steel and the carbon content of stainless steel to increase. The carbon diffusion would be ongoing with the annealing process until the carbon content of stainless steel reached 0.08%. The higher carbon content could help in the formation of more chromium-depleted regions in the stainless steel surface, causing the stainless steel in the bimetal plate to have a poorer surface corrosion resistance than that of stainless steel under the same annealing conditions.

Surface activated bonding (SAB) is a novel method for the precise joining of dissimilar materials. It is based on the concept that two atomically clean solid surfaces can develop a strong adhesive force between them when they are brought into contact at high vacuum condition without high deformation at a 40~90%. With this SAB process, the effects of heat treatment on the bonding strength of surface-activated bonding (SAB)-treated copper-nickel fine clad metals were investigated. An increase in the SAB rolling load of the copper-nickel fine clad metals increased the peel strength after heat treatment, indicating that increases in the SAB rolling load decreased the interface voids formed by initial micro-range surface roughness between the clad materials in the SAB cladding process. Unlike conventional cold rolling, outstanding interface diffusion between the clad materials was not observed after heat treatment. In addition, the peel strength increase of the clad metals compare with initial peel strength increased with SAB rolling load (<1% reduction ratio at a roll load of 5000 kgf ) up to 3.99 N/mm after heat treatment.

In this research, the effects of heat treatment are studied on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the explosive bonding of 304 stainless steel plates and CK45 carbon steel with a constant explosive load and various standoff distances. The samples are heat treated in a furnace for 2-h and 4-h at 250℃ and 350℃. The results imply that by increasing the standoff distance from 4 to 5 mm, the impact kinetic energy increases and severe plastic deformation occurs in the bonding interface. The metallography results indicate the wave-vortex nature of the interface with the increase of standoff distance. In addition, heat treatment for 2 h at 350℃ leads to an increase in the thicknesses of intermetallic compounds in the interface. Also, the hardness decreases from 271 to 171 Vickers, and from 279 to 195 Vickers with 2 h of heat treatment at 350℃ in samples with standoff distances of 4 and 5 mm, respectively. Furthermore, the strengths of the samples decrease from 449 to 371 MPa, and from 510 to 433 MPa, respectively. Hardness and strength changes occur due to changes in the thickness of the intermetallic area and an increase in grain sizes.
