Improvement of the Bond Strength in Al Laminates via APB Process Using Tin Particles

  • Published:
Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

Aluminum metal matrix composites (AMMCs) are a new modern group of composite materials that are becoming more popular in industrial progress. As a solid welding method to fabricate metal matrix composites, accumulative press bonding (APB) is one of the most capable processes. One of the major disadvantages of the APB process is the weak bonding strength. This study utilizes tin (Sn) particles as filler metal to enhance the bonding strength of aluminum laminates. Thus, AA1060 bars with different content of Sn particles (interlayer filler material) were manufactured at various pressing temperatures and APB steps. The peeling test was used to evaluate the bonding strength. It was found that by increasing the number of APB steps, Sn content, and pressing temperature, better bonds of higher strength and quality were generated. The bonding strength was improved to 424 N for a sample fabricated with 15 wt.% of Sn particles at 300°C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine the peeling surface of Al/Sn composite samples.
