Abstract:
A clad metal composite produced according to a method for edge-to-edge cladding of two or more different metals (such as aluminum and copper). The metals are joined next to each other to form an edge-to-edge or side-by-side clad bimetal. In one embodiment, nine metal strips are used to create the desired clad metal composite. The design includes strips of metal that have industry standard cut edges (such as, slit-cut edges). The clad metal composite may include multiple layers of metals positioned edge-to-edge.
