Abstract
To explore how varying matrix thicknesses influence interfacial morphology, microstructure, and mechanical properties of Mg/Al composite plates, this study prepared composite plates with distinct thickness ratios using an asymmetric rolling process featuring differential temperature rolls. The findings indicate that the Mg alloy largely exhibits significant recrystallization and sub-grained, while the Al alloy largely demonstrates a sub-grained characteristic. Notably, there exists a strong positive correlation between bonding strength at the interface and thickness ratio. As the thickness ratio increases, enhanced shear deformation at the interface triggers more slip system initiation, resulting in a gradual reduction of texture intensity in both the Mg and Al layers. Specifically, when the AZ31B/Al6061 thickness ratio reaches 5, the recrystallization level of the Mg layer is relatively elevated, accompanied by a fine and uniform grain size in the Al layer. This situation decreases the likelihood of stress concentration at the interface, which results in exhibiting relatively optimal elongation and bonding strength.
期刊介绍:
Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials.
The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal.
The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include:
Metals & Alloys
Ceramics
Nanomaterials
Biomedical materials
Optical materials
Composites
Natural Materials.
