Élaboration d'un tissu composite bimétallique Al/Acier/Al pour le blindage électromagnétique

The growth of electronic devices has led to an increase in electromagnetic pollution that can be harmful to sensitive electronic systems and living beings. One of the means of limiting the propagation of electromagnetic fields is the use of shielding. Then, the study focused on the elaboration of a bimetallic composite for magnetic shielding. The studied composite combines the physical properties of aluminum and steel via the Al8011/SteelDC01/Al8011 trilayer. The trilayer is produced by cold roll bonding (CRB). It has been found that the adherence quality of the Al/Steel interfaces and the architecture of the composite heavily depend on the CRB parameters. Careful preparation of the sheet and their concomitant surfaces is just as important as CRB itself. Furthermore, during CRB, the steel sheet was sensitive to plastic instabilities which subsequently led to its necking and fragmentation. These plastic instabilities promote adherence through Al/Al welds but are not a prerequisite. In terms of shielding effectiveness, the bimetallic composite has proved to be particularly interesting. Thanks to its composition and its structuring, it can attenuate both low ( 1 kHz) magnetic fields. In an iso-mass study, the composite showed a higher shielding effectiveness than Al, Cu and steel sheets. However, the steel fragmentation in the composite proved to be detrimental to magnetic shielding, then requiring a compromise between mechanical strength and shielding effectiveness.
