Abstract

This invention provides a relatively thick roll-bonded laminate that exhibits a high Erichsen value and excellent molding workability. Such roll-bonded laminate is composed of a stainless steel layer and a non-stainless steel metal layer, and it is characterized in that thickness T is 0.2 mm to 3 mm and a correlation between a proportion P SUS of thickness T SUS of the stainless steel layer relative to thickness T and a half width FWHM 200 of a peak exhibiting a crystal plane orientation (200) determined by X-ray diffraction analysis of the stainless steel layer side satisfies the correlation represented by the formula: FWHM 200 ≤0.0057P SUS +0.4.

Claims (9)

1. A roll-bonded bi-layer laminate comprising a stainless steel layer and a metal layer of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, wherein:

the roll-bonded bi-layer laminate has a thickness T of 0.786 mm to 3 mm,

a stretch height determined by the Erichsen test is 7.0 mm or more, and

a correlation between a proportion P SUS of thickness T SUS of the stainless steel layer relative to the thickness T and a half width FWHM 200 of a peak exhibiting a crystal plane orientation (200) obtained by analyzing the stainless steel layer side via X-ray diffraction analysis satisfy the correlation: FWHM 200 ≤0.0057P SUS +0.4,

wherein the proportion P SUS of thickness T SUS of the stainless steel layer relative to the thickness T is 5% to 28.39%,

wherein the stainless steel layer has a surface hardness (Hv) of 294.4 or less, and

wherein the roll-bonded bi-layer laminate has an elongation of 35% or higher.

2. The roll-bonded bi-layer laminate according to claim 1 , which is used for an electronic device housing.

3. An electronic device housing comprising the roll-bonded bi-layer laminate according to claim 1 .
