Conclusions
Reactive diffusion during heat treatment of aluminum-iron bimetals can be suppressed by oxygen contained in the steel, due to the formation of an aluminum oxide film at the interface that blocks mass transfer of both components. This can be utilized in cladding steel with aluminum and aluminum alloys by cold pack rolling, followed by recrystallization annealing.
