Ultra-thin Laminated Metal Composites with Ultra-high Strength and Excellent Soft Magnetic Properties

Structural metallic materials with excellent functional performance and lightweight features have always been the goal of material scientists’ pursuit. In this work, laminated metal composites of different thicknesses (less than 0.4 mm) composed of structural materials with great differences in deformation ability were successfully fabricated via a novel processing procedure. Ultra-high strength and excellent soft magnetic properties were combined perfectly in the ultra-thin and super-light laminated metal composite strips due to unique structural design and essential attributes of the initial materials. These results emphasize the significant potential application value of the ultra-thin laminated metal composites in the field of structural and functional integration.
