Abstract
In this paper, an advanced solid-state friction surface cladding (FSC) process is used to deposit a soft Al alloy 5052-H32 on a relatively hard cold-rolled steel substrate. The clad interface microstructure, local mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance in 3.5% NaCl solution are investigated. Results show that a uniform and defect free layer of Al alloy is deposited on the steel substrate with good metallurgical bonding. The clad interface showed comparatively higher indentation modulus and hardness compared to the base Al alloy and steel substrate due to thin IMC layer formation. In addition, the corrosion resistance of Al-steel clad remarkable enhanced compared to bare steel substrate.
