roll bonding
The roll bonding process allows high-pressure rolling to bond together multiple layers of metal sheet material without the need for heat or adhesives by deforming the metal sheet with pressure to create a permanent metallurgical joint.
Key Features:
- Producing Strong Metal Bonding: Produces an extremely durable bond that is reliable between the bonded metals.
- No Adhesives/Filler: The bond is produced by deforming the metal through high-pressure rolling.
- Good for Producing Composite Materials: The process is well suited for the production of multilayer (laminated) and bimodal (two-material) structures.
The roll bonding process is used in many different industries, such as aerospace, automotive, heat exchanger, and cookware manufacturing. Some applications of roll bonding include composite plates (clad plates), bimetal sheets, cryogenic storage, and pressure containers. With the roll bonding process, manufacturers can combine a variety of metals to meet performance goals, lower costs, and have specific material properties for their items.
