Roll‐Bonded Titanium/Stainless‐Steel Couples. Part 3: Adhesion Properties

Abstract This work presents adhesion properties of roll‐bonded and heat treated titanium–stainless steel couples determined by means of tensile shear tests and peeling tests. The developed testing methods will be described and the applicability on material couples will be discussed. The determined adhesion forces and resistances were correlated with the interface microstructure of the material couple. Hence, the optimum annealing conditions for maximum adhesion force can be determined. The determined adhesion properties in this paper and the already published results to the diffusion behavior and mechanical properties give important measuring data to make a final evaluation of the material couple with regard to a technical application.
