Fabrikation und Anwendung von metallischen Schichtverbundwerkstoffen

Through a clever combination of different materials, tailor-made composite materials can be fabricated which are able to fulfil high requirements often set by modern applications. Laminated composites of materials with different yield strengths, promising due to their damage tolerance, are discussed, and selected manufacturing methods suited for their production are presented. Utilizing the press bonding method, Ferrite/Martensite composites with 7 and 13 layers were manufactured and the influence of geometry and friction was assessed by layer thickness measurements. It could be shown that the gradient in degree of deformation inherent to the process can be reduced by lubrication, which results in improved parallelism and more even bond strengths.
