Stress relief treatment of aluminum/magnesium laminates fabricated by roll bonding technique by Masoud Rashidi, Payam Tayebi, Ramin Hashemi

“…Intermetallic compounds are undesirable due to their brittleness and impact on the overall laminate structure and integrity. Detailed microstructure characterization of the intermetallic compounds and internal residual stress by means of recrystallization degree revealed that stress-relief treatment at 200 °C/1 h is sufficient to reduce internal residual stress and ensure adequate interdiffusion at Al/Mg interface to minimize the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds in the diffusion zone.…”
