Lightweight metal laminated plates produced via (hot, cold and cryogenic) roll bonding: A review

Due to the comprehensive advantages of various metals, metal laminates have been paid much attention. Roll bonding method has become one of the main fabrication methods of metal laminates, benefiting from the advantages of stable and continuous production. The research progress in the roll bonding of metal laminates is reviewed, mainly including the hot roll bonding, cold roll bonding, accumulative roll bonding and cryogenic roll bonding. The formation mechanism of bonding interface and the main influence factors on the interfacial bonding quality are systematically discussed. Moreover, further prospects are pointed out on the advancement of high-performance roll bonding of metal laminates.
