Abstract

Abstract Accumulative roll bonding (ARB) was used to fabricate Al/Ni (with two initial Ni thicknesses) and Al/Ni/Fe 3 O 4 composites. During ARB, Ni layers necked and fractured owing to the difference in flow properties of Al and Ni. In addition, large and elongated clusters of Fe 3 O 4 particles were broken into smaller ones and distributed gradually in Al matrix. After the fourth and sixth cycle, weak bonding and several pores were observed at particle/matrix interface while the bonding quality increased after the eighth cycle. Results show that after eight cycles, an Al-based composite with a satisfactorily magnetic behavior was produced. The Al/Ni (0.5) composite exhibited the highest tensile strength (182 MPa) with the highest value of saturation magnetization (13.47 emu/g). The relative permeability decreased with increasing frequency for a given number of ARB cycles. The Fe 3 O 4 particles caused the saturation magnetization to decrease and the critical frequency to increase due to the eddy current effects.
