Abstract Around 500,000 total hip and knee arthroplasties are performed each year in the United States, with a comparable number performed annually throughout the rest of the world. Since its development in the 1960s, contemporary total joint arthroplasty has proven to be extremely successful in alleviating pain and restoring joint function. However, for a minority of patients, mechanical and biological sequelae emanating from the breakdown of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMPWE) bearings limit the longevity of the procedures.

Multi-layered metal composites have received considerable attention due to their improved mechanical and physical properties. In this study, Al6061/Al2024 composite was processed by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) as a severe plastic deformation technique. Mechanical properties of processed material were evaluated using the uniaxial tensile test and shear punch test method (SPT). The correlation between the results of the tension experiments and shear strengths was calculated. Experimental results demonstrated that the shear strength enhanced with increased number of ARB passes. However, the elongation under shear manifested a reduction when the number of ARB passes increased. Inspection of the results of tensile tests and SPT revealed that they follow a similar trend for both strength and ductility. Therefore, it can be asserted that the shear punch test represents a useful and complementary tool in the mechanical analysis of the ARB sample.
