Abstract

1. Cladding of quenched steel with high-ductility steel reduces the susceptibility to brittle fracture and increases its dependability as a structural material. 2. The increase of the ductility of high-strength bimetals results from the increase of uniform deformation. 3. Of substantial, though not the only, importance in increasing the ductility of cladded metals by comparison with the base metal are the compression stresses in the cladding layer produced by heat treatment or originating in the production of the cladded metal.
