Experimental Chemo-Mechanical Characterization and Multiscale Modeling of the Alloys Al1050, Al2024 and Al5754

Abstract

In the last decades, manufacturing of layered composite materials has become an interesting topic in industrial development. Joining properties of adhesively bonded materials are characterized by a complex interaction of plastic deformation, thermo-mechano-chemical coupling effects, adhesion and diffusion. Additionally, the interactions between the microstructures involved in the process have to be taken into account. In this paper the microstructure of materials (as e.g. Al1050, Al2024 and Al5754), which have a wide range of applications in engineering structures, is numerically and experimentally investigated. The results are compared with experimental data.
