Abstract  

Stainless steel/carbon steel bimetallic products, which have the characteristic corrosion resistance of stainless steel as well as the characteristics of high strength and low cost of carbon steel, have been widely used in petrochemical, aviation, shipping and other industries. Roll-bonding is an efficient solid-phase joining method for industrial production of bimetallic products. Different from diffusion bonding and friction welding process, the atoms bond and diffuse at interface while the base metal undergoes severe plastic deformation in the process of roll-bonding. In present work, the micro-deformation behavior in the interfacial area of stainless steel/carbon steel during roll-bonding process is studied based on the molecular dynamics method. Firstly, the applicability of the potential function for the bimetallic composite models with different lattice structures was discussed. Then bimetallic model of FeCrNi/Fe and single metal model of FeCrNi, Fe were established. The effect of non-coherent interface on the deformation behavior was revealed by comparing the deformation process of three models. The results show that the mechanical properties and deformation processes of bimetal and single metal are different in the process of deformation bonding. Due to the existence of non-coherent interface, the dislocation in pure Fe matrix is accumulated at the interface during deformation. The local shear effect of interface atoms makes the dislocation formation in FeCrNi matrix easier, thus reducing the yield strength of FeCrNi matrix. The effect of interface on dislocation propagation during alternation makes the dislocation density change alternately in the two matrixes, which improves the ability of material to resist plastic deformation. In addition, the alternately change of the dislocation density within the two matrixes during the deformation process leads to the special phenomenon that the deformation of the two matrixes is alternately changed.
