Development of new bimetal material for home appliances by using the rolling process

압연공정을 이용한 가전용 신 바이메탈재의 개발

The most demanded bimetals in home appliances are manufactured by mainly cladding process and these are mainly consist of Cu alloy and Ni alloy. But it is very difficult to clad these alloys, because the brittle ${Cu_3}{O_4}$ oxide film formed easily on Cu alloy surface during cladding process. Clad rolling and heat treatment processes were applied for the development of bimetals by using the Ni alloy and the 3 types of Cu alloys. Optical microstructure was observed and micro-hardness, specific resistance, deflection were measured from the manufactured new bimetals specimens.
