Hybrid thermomechanical approach for developing triple synergy of strength, ductility and bond integrity in Al/Cu bimetallic sheets

Key Points

• Strength and ductility improve simultaneously with enhanced bond integrity in aluminium and copper bimetallic sheets.
• Using a hybrid thermomechanical process, the team observed a 30% increase in strength along with improved ductility measurements.
• Observational analysis focuses on the interaction of materials during the thermomechanical processing of Al/Cu sheets.
• The findings may enable more efficient manufacturing processes for metal composites in various industries.
