Abstract
Abstract In this study, SS316L/polyurethane/SS316L was produced by warm roll bonding and direct adhesion without using any adhesive. By changing the polymer core thickness in the sandwich sheet, its mechanical properties, such as tensile behavior and flexural bending strength, were investigated. Also, by performing the Erichsen test and getting the experimental forming limit diagram, the forming behavior of the sandwich sheets in various thicknesses was investigated and compared with that of the monolithic steel sheet. The experimental results showed that by increasing the thickness of the sandwich sheets with polymeric core thickness of 2 mm to 2.5 and 3 mm, the bending stiffness was raised by 111% and 288%; also, the displacement in the second region of the bending test diagram, indicating the bending ability without delamination, was increased from 100% to 109%. Forming limit diagrams of the sandwich sheets were higher than those of the steel sheet, which indicates that the forming behavior of them are higher than that of the monolithic steel sheet.
