Abstract
In this paper, the basic bonding mechanism between two materials of practical importance is identified. One of the materials is carbon steel, which has been aluminized on its surface by immersion in molten aluminum. This step produced a Fe-Al intermetallic compound layer. The other material is an Al-Pb alloy (a bearing material). The two materials were hot roll bonded together. It was found that the Fe-Al intermetallic compound broke into discontinuous blocks during the hot rolling operation. The block of intermetallic compound remained bonded to the steel. The overall bond between the Al-Pb strip and the steel strip resulted from two different bonds. The Al-Pb strip and the Fe-Al intermetallic compound (this is called the “block bond” in this paper) and the Al-Pb strip and the bare steel surface in the area where the block separated from the steel substrate (this is called the “blank bond” in this paper).
