Fabrication and Mechanical Properties of High Strength and Corrosion Resistant 1420Al-Li/Mg-9Li/1420Al-Li Composite Plate
1420Al-Li/Mg-9Li/1420Al-Li composite plate with high-strength,corrosion-resistant and ultralight 1420 Al-Li alloy as the cladding plate was successfully prepared by one-pass hot rolling.The interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite plates by hot rolling at 450 ℃ with different reductions were investigated.The results show that when rolling pressure is 35%,the composite plate is only partially bonded-mechanical bonding+metallurgical bonding and no compounds are formed at the interface,the tensile strength of the composite plate is 236 MPa,elongation is 26%.As the rolling pressure is 50%,the composite plate can be formed by metallurgical bonding and unbounded compound.The tensile strength of the composite plate is as high as 272 MPa,and the elongation is 14%.While improving the corrosion resistance,the strength of the Mg-9Li alloy is greatly improved.
