Abstract

In this research, Al/18Cu/3WC/3MoS2 (wt.%) multilayered hybrid composites were fabricated by accumulative roll bonding (ARB), and their electrical and mechanical properties were investigated. After seven ARB cycles, an Al-matrix multilayered hybrid composite with a uniform distribution of WC-MoS2 particles and Cu islands was achieved. The presence of the WC-MoS2 particles and Cu islands significantly affected the electrical and mechanical properties of the fabricated composites. The composite obtained after seven ARB cycles showed an enhanced strength of 259 MPa. Also, it was found that the electrical conductivity of the Al matrix decreased by applied strain (about 19 % IACS) and the presence of the WC-MoS2 particles. By annealing the fabricated composite obtained from final cycles, the electrical conductivity increased from 54 % IACS to 71 % IACS.
