Abstract
Abstract An amorphous metal-metal composite article comprising a metal and an amorphous metal thin sheet firmly bonded thereto and having high durability and reliability can be obtained by a method, wherein the surface roughness of a metal to be bonded with an amorphous metal thin sheet is adjusted to a certain surface roughness and an explosion shock is applied to an assembly of the metal and the amorphous metal thin sheet superposed thereon, under a condition that the moving velocity of the collision point of the amorphous metal thin sheet to the metal is higher than the sound velocity in the amorphous metal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
An amorphous metal-metal composite article, comprising a metal and an amorphous metal thin sheet bonded together by an explosion with the bonding interface between the amorphous metal thin sheet and the metal being substantially plane, and having a crystallized portion, which has been formed by the crystallization of the amorphous metal during the bonding, being present along the interface of the amorphous metal and the metal, and the width of the non-crystallized portion of the amorphous metal being at least 10 μm, and the noncrystallized portion of the amorphous metal thin sheet being substantially homogeneous.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
An amorphous metal-metal composite article, comprising a metal and an amorphous metal thin sheet bonded together by an explosion with the bonding interface between the amorphous metal thin sheet and the metal being substantially plane, and having a crystallized portion, which has been formed by the crystallization of the amorphous metal during the bonding, being present along the interface of the amorphous metal and the metal, and the width of the non-crystallized portion of the amorphous metal being at least 10 μm, and the noncrystallized portion of the amorphous metal thin sheet being substantially homogeneous.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
201 words
A method for producing an amorphous metal-metal composite article, wherein an amorphous metal thin sheet is bonded to a metal by applying an explosion shock to an assembly comprising the metal and the amorphous metal thin sheet superposed thereon, the improvement comprising plastically deforming a rough portion on the metal surface by the collision of the amorphous metal, which has been closed in contact tightly to the rough surface of the metal sheet, at a high velocity to the rough surface of the metal such that the moving velocity of the colliding portion, at which the amorphous metal thin sheet is pressed to the metal, is higher than the sound velocity in the amorphous metal and the width of that portion of the amorphous metal which is heated to a temperature higher than 900° C. is smaller than the value obtained by subtracting 10 μm from the thickness of the amorphous metal under an assumption that the rough portion on that surface of the metal which is faced to the amorphous metal has been wholly melted by the heat generated by the collision, and the heat has been equally distributed to the limited width of the amorphous metal and the metal.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
201 words
A method for producing an amorphous metal-metal composite article, wherein an amorphous metal thin sheet is bonded to a metal by applying an explosion shock to an assembly comprising the metal and the amorphous metal thin sheet superposed thereon, the improvement comprising plastically deforming a rough portion on the metal surface by the collision of the amorphous metal, which has been closed in contact tightly to the rough surface of the metal sheet, at a high velocity to the rough surface of the metal such that the moving velocity of the colliding portion, at which the amorphous metal thin sheet is pressed to the metal, is higher than the sound velocity in the amorphous metal and the width of that portion of the amorphous metal which is heated to a temperature higher than 900° C. is smaller than the value obtained by subtracting 10 μm from the thickness of the amorphous metal under an assumption that the rough portion on that surface of the metal which is faced to the amorphous metal has been wholly melted by the heat generated by the collision, and the heat has been equally distributed to the limited width of the amorphous metal and the metal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method according to claim 2, wherein that surface of the metal which is faced to the amorphous metal has a center line average surface roughness of 1-10 μm.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method according to claim 2, wherein the metal sheet and the amorphous metal thin sheet are tightly closed in contact to each other by reducing the pressure of the air existing between the interfacial portion of both the members.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
A method according to claim 2, wherein the metal sheet and the amorphous metal thin sheet are tightly closed in contact to each other by the restoring power of an elastomer.
