Composite Plate Rolling Technology of 304/Q345R Based on a Corrugated Interface.

A new rolling process of the 304/Q345R composite plate based on a corrugated interface was developed. Through numerical simulation and rolling experiments, the metal deformation law, the stress and strain field distribution, and the bond strength of the corrugated plate were studied. By comparison, the corrugated interface effectively increased the length of the composite interface. Also, the composite interface from the 2D corrugated surface became a 3D corrugated surface, and a combination of the 304/Q345R composite plate metallurgy was achieved with a low reduction rate. Simultaneously, the interface bonding strength was improved.
