Abstract

This study presents an integrated approach, combining numerical, and experimental methods, to investigate the mechanical performance of low-carbon steel and polyketone composite plates. Fabricated via hot pressing, these multi-material clad plates were subjected to forming, uniaxial tensile, peel, and lap-shear tests to assess both bulk and interfacial mechanical properties. Detailed microstructural analyses provided insights into the behavior of the interfaces under mechanical stress. Numerical simulations paralleled experimental work, setting a foundation for future studies to explore different configurations and interfacial conditions of such multi-material systems. Integration of a polymer layer significantly enhanced the mechanical properties of the clad, showing an 8.21% increase in specific strength over traditional metallic clads and underscoring potential performance benefits for structural applications. Issues such as delamination and debonding during forming were identified as areas for improvement. The strong correlation between simulation results and experimental data confirms the model’s reliability, making a significant contribution to the development of steel-based clad composites. This research provides crucial insights for the application of steel-polymer composites in sectors such as electric vehicle manufacturing and related structural uses.

期刊介绍： Metals and Materials International publishes original papers and occasional critical reviews on all aspects of research and technology in materials engineering: physical metallurgy, materials science, and processing of metals and other materials. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the science of materials that are concerned with the relationships among the processing, structure and properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, electrochemical, magnetic and optical) of materials. Aspects of processing include the melting, casting, and fabrication with the thermodynamics, kinetics and modeling.
