The microhardness of the cladding plate was also tested after being heat treated. The microstructure evolution on the interface of BTW1/Q345 R sheets under various reduction rates was investigated with a scanning electron microscope（SEM） and EBSD. It is found that the micro-cracks and oxide films on the interface disappear when the reduction is 80%, whereas the maximum uniform diffusion distance reaches 10 μm. As a result, a wide range of metallurgical bonding layers forms, which indicates an improved combination between the BTW1 and the Q345 R. Additionally, it is discovered that the unbroken oxide films on the interface are composed of Mn, Si or Cr at the reductions of 50% and 65%. The SEM fractography of tensile specimen demonstrates that the BTW1 has significant dimple characteristics and possesses lower-sized dimples with the increment in reduction, suggesting that the toughness and bonding strength of the cladding plates would be improved by the increase of reduction. The results reveal that a high rolling reduction causes the interfacial oxide film broken and further forms a higher-sized composite metallurgical bonding interface. The peak microhardness is achieved near the interface.展开更多

The composites were subjected to heat treatment at temperature of 650-950 ~C for 60 min. The results show that the heat treatment process results in a great enhancement of diffusion and microstructural transformation. The shear strength decreases as the treatment temperature increases. Heated at 850 ℃ or below, their shear strength decreases slowly as a result of the formation of TiC in the diffusion interaction layer; while at the temperature of 850 ℃ or above, the shear strength decreases obviously, which is the consequence of a large amount of Ti-Fe intermetaUics （Fe2Ti/FeTi） along with some TiC distributing continuously at diffusion reaction layer.展开更多

The roll-...Vacuum hot roll bonding （VHRB） was used to bond pure titanium （Ti） plate to a 304 stainless steel （SS） plate with a niobium （Nb） interlayer, with the aim of producing a high-quality Ti-SS clad plate. The roll-bonding process was performed at different temperatures in the range of 850-1000℃, followed by characterization of microstructure and mechanical properties. The study demonstrates that the interfaces are free from cracks and discontinuities, and interdiffusion between the stainless steel and the titanium is effectively prevented by inserting a layer of pure Nb foil. No intermetallic reaction layer occurred at the Nb-Ti interface at any of the investigated temperatures. An intermetallic FeNb phase was formed at the Nb-SS interface when bonding was performed at 950 ℃ and above. The presence of the FeNb layer was confirmed by x-ray diffraction. The maximum shear strength of -396 MPa was obtained when bonding is carried out at 900 ℃. However, the formation of the FeNb layer at roll bonding temperature greater than 900 ℃ led to decrease in shear strength. Ductile fracture occurred through the Ti-Nb interface for roll-bonded temperatures of up to 900 ℃. On the other hand, at temperature of 950℃ and above, failure occurred through the Nb-SS interface, with brittle fracture characteristics.展开更多

The effect of interfacial compound on the mierostructure and mechanical properties of Ti-steel clad plate was studied by electron probe microanalysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and shear test. The clad plates were heated at 850 ℃ for 120 min and welded at different levels of vacuum. The results indicated that the cracked zone of the bonded interface decreased significantly with the increase in the level of vacuum during welding. Welding at atmospheric pressure, the randomly distributed TiN damaged the continuity of TiC and the uniformly diffused region of Ti and Fe at the bonded interface, while welding in vacuum of 1 × 10^-2 Pa, maximum shear strength of 298 MPa was obtained because of the decrease in TiN content.展开更多

Examination of the microstructures of the plates showed that the TRed Mg/Al clad plate presented a straight interface, while a corrugated interface containing fractured intermetallic particulates was observed for the CFRed plate due to the inhomogeneous strain induced by the corrugated roller. During the CFR process, the corrugated roller can accelerate the rupture of the substrate work-hardening layers and facilitate the mutual extrusion of fresh metals to enhance the interface bonding. Compared with the traditional basal texture of the Mg alloy, the CFR process can change the texture morphology, thereby enhancing the plastic deformation ability of the Mg plate. Tensile tests showed that the CFRed Mg/Al clad plate exhibited a higher ultimate tensile strength(UTS, 316 MPa), which was~ 8% higher than that of the TRed plate(293 MPa). In addition, the bending curve of the CFRed clad plate was smooth and there was no stress sudden drop phenomenon in the bending process. The higher UTS and excellent bending properties of the CFRed clad plate could be attributed to the enhanced coordinated deformation ability of the substrates induced by the corrugated interface, grain refinement, and the change in the Mg alloy texture morphology.展开更多

The corresponding mechanical properties were also assessed by means of hardness and shear tests. The results showed a bonding interface formed between stainless steel and carbon steel, which was relatively straight in macroscope but serrated in microscope. Decarburization layer and carbon-enriched layer were distinguished at the side of carbon steel and stainless steel near the interface, respectively, which should be related to diffusion of carbon and alloying elements. The carbon-enriched layer could also be identified as a recombination region, whose microstructure was mainly recognized as martensite by TEM. Consequently, the hardness was the highest at this region. Furthermore, the result of shear test at the bonding interface showed that the shear strength was 395 MPa and the fracture mode was dominated as ductile fracture, indicating the bonding interface with good quality.展开更多

As an economical and environmentally friendly technology, the roll bonding process is expected to become the next-generation mainstream process for the manufacturing of titanium clad steel plate. Some of the crucial and most important technical problems of this particular process, including vacuum sealing technology, surface treatment process technology, application of a transition layer, and rolling process, were discussed along with the advantageous mechanical properties and life-cycle economy of these plates processed by this technology. Finally, the market needs, application trends, and requirements of titanium clad steel plate were also considered from industries of petrochemical, shipbuilding, marine, and electric power.展开更多

The stretch and interface properties were measured. The result shows that 20 layer clad plate is better than the others. Well-bonded clad plate was successfully obtained in the following procedure： Basic clad sheet from 18 layer Al1060/Al3003 sheets was firstly obtained with an initial rolling reduction of 44% at 450 ℃, followed by annealing at 300 ℃, and then with reduction of 50% at 550 ℃ from STS304 on each side. The best 20 layer clad plate was of 129 MPa bonding strength and 225 MPa stretch strength.展开更多

As one of most commonly used products, the carbon steel checkered plate requires a high-cost coating for corrosion resistance. Although the austenitic stainless steel checkered plate meets corrosion resistance requirements ,it does not necessarily provide high overall performance due to its low yield strength, which means greater thickness and weight. Combining the advantages of stainless and carbon structural steel, Baosteel has developed a new roll-bonded clad checkered plate that exhibits high performance in skid resistance, strength, and corrosion resistance. Metallographic analysis shows the cladding interfaces to be very good, with stainless steel filling the whole pattern and a uniform microstructure in the different cladding layers. The yield strength and tensile strength of the product are 470 MPa and 610 MPa, respectively. In addition,the fracture morphology exhibits excellent interfacial bonding properties. We performed external and internal bend tests at room temperature, 180°, and 0.7a without the development of any cracks, which indicates its excellent formability.展开更多

The performance is fully consistent with the technical requirements of the roll-bonded clad steel plate for pressure vessels.展开更多

At 800 and 850 °C, the bimetal can flow uniformly, while at 900 °C, the TA2 flows faster than Q235 B, and the phenomenon of TA2 wrapping Q235 B is observed. The metal flow of the bimetal material will coordinate each other through the bonding interface. It is noted that the stress increases with the increase of the ε and l and decreases when the metal flows along the contact area.展开更多

文摘Vacuum hot roll bonding （VHRB） was used to bond pure titanium （Ti） plate to a 304 stainless steel （SS） plate with a niobium （Nb） interlayer, with the aim of producing a high-quality Ti-SS clad plate. The roll-bonding process was performed at different temperatures in the range of 850-1000℃, followed by characterization of microstructure and mechanical properties. The study demonstrates that the interfaces are free from cracks and discontinuities, and interdiffusion between the stainless steel and the titanium is effectively prevented by inserting a layer of pure Nb foil. No intermetallic reaction layer occurred at the Nb-Ti interface at any of the investigated temperatures. An intermetallic FeNb phase was formed at the Nb-SS interface when bonding was performed at 950 ℃ and above. The presence of the FeNb layer was confirmed by x-ray diffraction. The maximum shear strength of -396 MPa was obtained when bonding is carried out at 900 ℃. However, the formation of the FeNb layer at roll bonding temperature greater than 900 ℃ led to decrease in shear strength. Ductile fracture occurred through the Ti-Nb interface for roll-bonded temperatures of up to 900 ℃. On the other hand, at temperature of 950℃ and above, failure occurred through the Nb-SS interface, with brittle fracture characteristics.

文摘A stainless steel clad plate composed of stainless steel and carbon steel was prepared by vacuum hot rolling process, and its microstructure, especially the bonding interface, was evaluated using an optical microscope, a scanning electron micro- scope and a transmission electron microscope （TEM）. The corresponding mechanical properties were also assessed by means of hardness and shear tests. The results showed a bonding interface formed between stainless steel and carbon steel, which was relatively straight in macroscope but serrated in microscope. Decarburization layer and carbon-enriched layer were distinguished at the side of carbon steel and stainless steel near the interface, respectively, which should be related to diffusion of carbon and alloying elements. The carbon-enriched layer could also be identified as a recombination region, whose microstructure was mainly recognized as martensite by TEM. Consequently, the hardness was the highest at this region. Furthermore, the result of shear test at the bonding interface showed that the shear strength was 395 MPa and the fracture mode was dominated as ductile fracture, indicating the bonding interface with good quality.

文摘In this research,2205/Q235 B clad plates were prepared by a vacuum hot rolling composite process.The effects of adding Fe,Ni,and Nb interlayers on the bonding interface structures and the shear strengths of the clad steel plates were studied.The results showed that 2205 duplex stainless steel and the three interlayers produced a large amount of plastic deformation and low-angle boundaries,and the main structures were the recrystallized and deformed grains.There were many recrystallized grains in the microstructure of the Q235 B low-carbon steel due to the low deformation in the rolling process.The Fe interlayer had better wettability with the two kinds of steel,but the lower strength led to the reduction of shear strength by about14 MPa compared with the original clad steel plate.The C element in the Q235 B low-carbon steel easily diffused into the Fe interlayer,and the clad steel plate attained a poor corrosion resistance because a large decarburization area was formed.The Nb interlayer reacted with the Mo element in the 2205 duplex stainless steel to form an Nb-Mo binary alloy,which generated long-banded ferrite.The decarburization area was also produced because the Nb reacted with the C element in the Q235 B to form hard and brittle NbCx.As a result,the shear strength was significantly reduced by about 282 MPa,and the corrosion resistance of the bonding surface was deteriorated.The Ni interlayer did not react with the alloy elements in both sides,and therefore effectively prevented element diffusion and improved the corrosion resistance of the bonding surface.Due to the low strength of the Ni interlayer and the increased number of bonding surfaces of the clad steel plates,the shear strength was reduced to some extent(about 40 MPa),but it still met the engineering application standards.

文摘In the case of valuable cold-rolled Cu/Al clad plates,billet surface treatment before rolling is a significant process that can affect the bonding efficiency and quality.While the current studies primarily focus on the influence of rolling parameters,insufficient attention has been paid to surface treatment.In this study,the effects of mechanical surface treatment on the bonding mechanism and bonding properties of cold-rolled Cu/Al clad plates were investigated.The results showed that different mechanical surface treatments have significant effects on the surface morphology,roughness,and residual stress.In addition,the effect of surface mechanical treatment on bonding quality was also observed to be critical.When the grinding direction was consistent with the rolling direction(RD),the bonding quality of the Cu/Al clad plates was significantly improved.After surface treatment along the RD for 20 s,the Cu/Al clad plates showed the highest shear strength(78 MPa),approximately four times as high as that of the unpolished samples.Simultaneously,the peel strength of this process was also significantly higher than that achieved via the other processes.Finally,on the basis of the surface morphology,roughness,and residual stress,the effect of surface treatment on the bonding mechanism and bonding properties of Cu/Al clad plates was analyzed.This study proposes a deeper understanding of the bonding behavior and bonding mechanism for cold rolled clad plates processed via mechanical surface treatment.

The result shows that 20 layer clad plate is better than the others. Well-bonded clad plate was successfully obtained in the following procedure： Basic clad sheet from 18 layer Al1060/Al3003 sheets was firstly obtained with an initial rolling reduction of 44% at 450 ℃, followed by annealing at 300 ℃, and then with reduction of 50% at 550 ℃ from STS304 on each side. The best 20 layer clad plate was of 129 MPa bonding strength and 225 MPa stretch strength.

文摘In this study,the cold-spraying process was utilized to deposit Al particles onto an Al slab,an Mg slab,and both Al and Mg slabs to form an ultra-thin interlayer,and then the clad slabs were rolled at 400℃,developing three roll-bonding processes:the roll-bonding process with cold-sprayed Al powder on the Al slab(CS-Al),the roll-bonding process with cold-sprayed Al powder on the Mg slab(CS-Mg),and the rollbonding process with cold-sprayed Al powder on both the Al slab and the Mg slab(CS-Both).The effects of three different cold-sprayed Al particle interlayer processes on the mechanical properties of rolled Mg/Al clad plates were investigated to improve the mechanical properties.The microstructure,texture evolution,intermetallic compound formation,mechanical properties,and mechanisms involved in the Mg/Al clad plate rolling were systematically investigated.The results showed that the pre-bonding between the particles and the substrates through coldspraying had a significant impact on the bonding strength of the Mg/Al clad plates,and the CS-Both process can increase the average shear strength of the Mg/Al clad plates to 49.24 MPa at a medium reduction rate of 37.5%,2.5 times that of the conventional rolling process.The CS-Both process constructed more evident dual microscopic three-dimensional interfaces and promoted more thorough atomic diffusion at the interface through the double-sided cold-spraying process.Meanwhile,the dual cold-sprayed Al coatings on both the Mg slab and Al slab underwent dynamic recrystallization during rolling to form a homogeneous unit with no additional coating interfaces.Fine grain strengthening and dislocation strengthening were judged to be important mechanisms for improving the mechanical performance of the interfacial layer.
文摘The checkered plate,also known as the floor/pattern plate ,has a raised pattern that provides excellent skid resistance for a wide range of applications. As one of most commonly used products, the carbon steel checkered plate requires a high-cost coating for corrosion resistance. Although the austenitic stainless steel checkered plate meets corrosion resistance requirements ,it does not necessarily provide high overall performance due to its low yield strength, which means greater thickness and weight. Combining the advantages of stainless and carbon structural steel, Baosteel has developed a new roll-bonded clad checkered plate that exhibits high performance in skid resistance, strength, and corrosion resistance. Metallographic analysis shows the cladding interfaces to be very good, with stainless steel filling the whole pattern and a uniform microstructure in the different cladding layers. The yield strength and tensile strength of the product are 470 MPa and 610 MPa, respectively. In addition,the fracture morphology exhibits excellent interfacial bonding properties. We performed external and internal bend tests at room temperature, 180°, and 0.7a without the development of any cracks, which indicates its excellent formability.
文摘To meet the demand of the pressure vessel industry, Baosteel has developed an S11306 ＋ SA516Gr70 roll-bonded clad steel plate. Comprehensive inspections of the composition, microstructure, and properties are performed to systematically evaluate the steel plate in normalized state and normalized ＋ stress relieved state. The results show the cladding interface of the Sl1306 ＋ SA516Gr70 roll-bonded clad steel plate has high shear strength, and the base metal has good mechanical properties. The performance is fully consistent with the technical requirements of the roll-bonded clad steel plate for pressure vessels.
文摘Aiming to meet the demand of the country＇ s nuclear demonstration project on the CAP1400 nuclear power plant, Baosteel uses the roll-bonding technology and develops the SA-533 Type B CL. 1 ＋ SA-240 Type 304L high-strength and high-toughness clad steel plate with a shear strength of over 310 MPa for the nuclear power plant＇ s safety injection tank. The properties of the quenched and tempered and the simulated post-weld heat treatment states are systematically studied herein through a comprehensive inspection and evaluation of the composition,microstructure,and properties of the clad steel plate. The results show that the bonding interface has high shear strength and that the base metal has high strength and good toughness at low temperatures. Hence, the performance fully meets the technical requirements of the CAP1400 nuclear power plant＇ s safety injection tank in the country＇ s nuclear demonstration project. The roll-bonded clad steel plate can be used to manufacture the safety injection tank of the CAP1400 nuclear power plant.

文摘2205/Q235B clad steel plates were fabricated using a thermal simulator.The metallographic microscope,scanning electron microscope,energy-dispersive spectrometer,shear test,electrochemical corrosion test and acid immersion test were used to study the influence of the pass reduction ratio on the microstructure and properties of 2205/Q235B clad steel plate.The results show that the clad steel plates had a good bonding surface when the pass reduction ratios were between 16.3%and 36.0%.There existed the mutual diffusion effect of elements near the bonding surface,which caused the long austenite strip on the side of 2205 stainless steel and the decarburization layer on the side of Q235B low-carbon steel.The transformation ofδferrite toγaustenite and the generation of the decarburization layer were promoted because of the lower pass reduction ratio.The corrosio n resista nee of 2205 duplex-phases stainless steel worse ned by the decrease in 8 ferrite con tent.The increase in the decarburization layer thickness made the shear strength of the clad steel plates reduce from 453 to 390 MPa.The potential of the decarburization layer was lower than that of 2205 stainless steel and Q235B low-carb on steel,which was easily corroded in the corrosive medium.

文摘In this paper, the single-pass hot compression experiment of titanium clad steel plate was carried out by Gleeble-3500 thermal mechanics simulation test machine,and the effect of deformation temperature(T), strain rate(ε),thickness ratio(k), and friction coefficient(l) on flow pattern of the metal and stress in the deformation zone was analyzed.The results show that the metal flow behavior and the stress during compressive deformation depend strongly on the deformation temperature. At 800 and 850 °C, the bimetal can flow uniformly, while at 900 °C, the TA2 flows faster than Q235 B, and the phenomenon of TA2 wrapping Q235 B is observed. The metal flow of the bimetal material will coordinate each other through the bonding interface. It is noted that the stress increases with the increase of the ε and l and decreases when the metal flows along the contact area.

文摘It is difficult to effectively improve the low bonding strength of TA1/304 clad plates.This study proposes a new process for applying pulse current(1500 A,500 Hz,50%duty cycle)to TA1/304 clad plates during the rolling process,which changes the interface microstructure and effectively improves the bonding strength of the clad plates.The influence of the pulsed current on the interface microstructure and bonding strength was systematically studied.The results indicate that the clad plate is initially bonded at 750℃ and 35%reduction ratio under electrically-assisted rolling(EAR),and finally the higher bonding strength is obtained at 850℃ and 48%reduction ratio,reaching 395 MPa.The strengthening of the interface element diffusion and grain refinement under the action of the pulsed current are important reasons for the improvement in the bonding strength of the clad plate.This discovery provides new ideas for the preparation of clad plates with high bonding performance.
