Production of a Superplastic Vibration-Damping Steel Sheet Composite Using Friction Stir Forming

Abstract:

This study proposes a novel method of manufacturing composite vibration-damping steel sheet with Zn-22Al superplastic alloy using friction stir forming (FSF). Trials of mechanical interlocking of steel sheet with Zn-22Al superplastic alloy using FSF were carried out on a modified milling machine. The results are discussed in terms of residual microstructures and mechanical properties. We concluded that cladding steel sheet with Zn-22Al superplastic alloy using FSF results in superplastic forming and diffusion bonding.
