Abstract

Cladding of two dissimilar materials such as aluminum and austenitic steel can bring outstanding material characteristics beyond the ones of each conventional monomaterials. The study focused on development of an Al-Fe-rich intermetallic phase formed on the aluminum/steel interface during heat treatment. Electrical resistivity measurements were performed to monitor diffusion processes and phase transformations during isochronal and isothermal annealing. Resistivity measurement results were supplemented by microscopic methods revealing the interfacial microstructure.
