Research Abstract |
The technique of making the multilayr materials (super-laminates) with mesoscopic- or nano-scale has been developed using the process of diffusion bonding of thin metal foils and rolling. The structures and mechanical properties of Cu/Ni, Ag/Ni, Cu/Co and Al/Ti super-laminates have been investigated. The following results were obtained. (1) The structure of laminate made by this new mechanical process shows homogeneous multilayr structure with a nano-scale interspacing. (2) The strength of Cu/Ni and Ag/Ni super laminates is very high, compared with the conventional Cu/Ni and Ag/Ni alloys. The high strength and the stable layr structure are maintained below 300゚C,but softening occurs at higher temperatures. (3) Cu/Co super laminates are fabricated from the thin foils of electroplated on the sopper foil. The cobalt phase has a fcc structure and the formability is superior to hcp-cobalt. Cu/Co super laminates are expected to have a superior giant magnetic resistance effect. (4) As an application of this fabrication process, the functional gradient materials of Cu/Ni laminates were made, in which the change of compositional amplitude of nano-scale periodicity is superimposed on the macroscopic compositional gradient. (5) Super laminates including the intermetallic compound layrs are made as a result of the heat treatment of Al/Ti supper laminates. This laminates are expected to be high strength and light heat resisting materials.
