Abstract Thick steel/aluminum/aluminum-alloy composite plate is one of the key materials connecting steel structures and aluminum alloy structures, and has been widely used in shipbuilding industry and other fields. However, steel/aluminum/aluminum-alloy composite plates with a total thickness of more than 10 mm and a steel layer thickness of more than 5 mm are prone to problems such as inconsistent deformation of component metals and low bonding strength during the rolling process, and cannot be continuously prepared. In order to solve this problem, this article proposes a two-pass different temperature rolling process for thick steel/aluminum/aluminum-alloy composite plates, and conducts research on Q235B steel, 1060 aluminum and 5083 aluminum alloy as component metals. The results show that the process is reliable. It can prepare Q235B/1060/5083 composite plates with a thickness of 15.65 mm without oxygen protection measures. Meanwhile, the interfacial shear and pull-off strength of the composite plates obtained under different experimental conditions in this article are higher than the requirements of the US military standards MIL-J-24445A and Chinese ship standard CB20091-2012. And the composite plates showed good performance in 90° and 137° bending tests without obvious defects. Under the best condition of them, a 1.48 μm interlocking diffusion layer was formed at the steel/aluminum interface of the composite plates, and the interfacial shear strength exceeded 70 MPa, and the interfacial pull-off strength exceeded 110 MPa. Finally, according to the experimental results, the reasons for the feasibility of the two-pass different rolling of thick steel/aluminum/aluminum-alloy composite plates are given.

This paper describes a vertical type twin roll strip casting process for producing aluminum alloy strip of ADC12, A3003 and A7075. Twin roll casting process is able to produce a strip from molten metal directly. Thus this process has a possibility to reduce total cost of sheet making comparing to conventional rolling process. Aluminum alloy ADC12 is a casting material that is used for die casting. A3003 is known as a wrought aluminum alloy for aluminum can body sheet. The A3003 sheet is generally produced by rolling, so it is effective for reducing a process cost to produce the strip by twin roll casting process. Aluminum alloy A7075 has high tensile strength, and it is known as a material for aerospace application. The sheet is manufactured in small quantities comparing to the other sheet aluminum alloy. It is supposed that the demand of high tensile strength aluminum sheet such as A7075 is going to increase for weight saving of structural material. In this study, twin roll casting experiment was performed to produce these three aluminum alloy strip in same experimental conditions. Castability, surface conditions and strip thickness were estimated. It was possible to cast these aluminum alloy strip.

The aim of this study is to investigate, experimentally and numerically, the change of critical buckling load in composite plates with different ply numbers, orientation angles, stacking sequences and boundary conditions as a function of temperature. Buckling specimens have been removed from the composite plate with glass-fibre reinforcement at [0°]i and [45°]i (i= number of ply). First, the mechanical properties of the composite material were determined at different temperatures, and after that, buckling experiments were done for those temperatures. Then, numerical solutions were obtained by modelling the specimens used in the experiment in the Ansys10 finite elements package software. The experimental and numerical results are in very good agreement with each other. It was found that the values of the buckling load at [0°] on the composite plates are higher than those of other angles. Besides, symmetrical and anti-symmetrical conditions were examined to see the effect of the stacking sequence on buckling and only numerical solutions were obtained. It is seen that the buckling load reaches the highest value when it is symmetrical in the cross-ply stacking sequence and it is anti-symmetrical in the angle-ply stacking sequence.

The development and application of friction stir welding (FSW) technology in steel structures in the shipbuilding industry provide an effective tool of achieving superior joint integrity especially where reliability and damage tolerance are of major concerns. Since the shipbuilding components are inevitably subjected to dynamic or cyclic stresses in services, the fatigue properties of the friction stir welded joints must be properly evaluated to ensure the safety and longevity. This research intends to fulfill a clear knowledge gap that exists nowadays and, as such, it is dedicated to the study of welded steel shipbuilding joints in GL-A36 steel, with 4 mm thick. The fatigue resistance of base material and four plates in as-welded condition (using several different parameters, tools and pre-welding conditions) were investigated. The joints culminate globally with defect-free welds, from which tensile, microhardness, and fatigue analyses were performed. The fatigue tests were carried out with a constant amplitude loading, a stress ratio of R=0.1 and frequency between 100 and 120 Hz. The experimental results show the quality of the welding process applied to steel GL-A36 which is reflected in the mechanical properties of joints tested.

This paper mainly analyzes the wave dispersion relations and associated modal pattens in the inclusion-reinforced composite plates including the effect of inclusion shapes, inclusion contents, inclusion elastic constants, and plate thickness. The shape of inclusion is modeled as spheroid that enables the composite reinforcement geometrical configurations ranging from sphere to short and continuous fiber. Using the Mori-Tanaka mean-field theory, the effective elastic moduli which are able to elucidate the effect of inclusion’s shape, stiffness, and volume fraction on the composite’s anisotropic elastic behavior can be predicted explicitly. Then, the dispersion relations and the modal patterns of Lamb waves determined from the effective elastic moduli can be obtained by using the dynamic stiffness matrix method. Numerical simulations have been given for the various inclusion types and the resulting dispersions in various wave types on the composite plate. The types (symmetric or antisymmetric) of Lamb waves in an isotropic plate can be classified according to the wave motions about the midplane of the plate. For an orthotropic composite plate, it can also be classified as either symmetric or antisymmetric waves by analyzing the dispersion curves and inspecting the calculated modal patterns. It is also found that the inclusion contents, aspect ratios and plate thickness affect propagation velocities, higher-order mode cutoff frequencies, and modal patterns.

3-ply Cu-Ni-Zn/Cu-Cr/Cu-Ni-Zn clad composite plates were prepared by roll bonding at 823K and their properties were characterized. No intermetallic compounds were observed at Cu-Ni-Zn/Cu-Cr interfaces in the as-rolled and heat-treated Cu/Ni-Zn/Cu-Cr/Cu-Ni-Zn clad plates. The strength of as-rolled clad plate reached up to 420MPa with the ductility of 13%. After heat treatment at 723K for 1.5 hours, the strength of Cu-Ni-Zn/Cu-Cr/Cu-Ni-Zn clad composite plate dropped to 340 MPa and the ductility increased to 20%. With annealing at 723K, there is no drastic drop of the stress before final fracture, meaning three plates were bonded together until the last part of the stress-strain curve. The peak of the conductivity (>70% of IACS) was attained after aging for 1.5 hrs, compatible with the typical peak aging condition of Cu-Cr alloy.
