Laser cutting has been investigated for a number of aluminum±synthetic laminates, newly developed materials for the aeronautic and automotive industry. The materials consist of alternating aluminum and synthetic layers. It is shown that these materials can be cut at the same speed as homogeneous aluminum alloys, although some damage on the synthetic layers has to be accepted. Based on these exp...

The accumulative roll bonding (ARB) as a severe plastic deformation (SPD) procedure aimed at enhancing the mechanical properties of metals and alloys. In the present study, a new slab method is proposed for estimating the forming stress field for cold extrusion of metals cross the alumina interlayer powder particles by accumulative roll bonding process. Plastic deformation behavior of the metal...

As a well-known one-atom thick nanosheets with preeminent physicochemical properties, graphene and its derivatives (e.g., graphene oxide, GO) have shown great potential on the membrane separation filed. This paper presents an update of GO laminates developments, including the membrane preparation methods, physicochemical properties and water vapor transport of GO laminates, and their applicatio...
