Clad metals are a specific form of composites in which the materials are arranged in a layered structure. Cold-roll bonding techniques are employed to produce more than 20,000 tonnes of clad metal laminates each year in the United States. This article is an introductory description of the processing steps in cold-roll bonding, the nature of the bond created in this process, and the methods used to evaluate the bond's strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
