[0002] Magnesium alloys possess low density, high strength, and excellent electromagnetic shielding properties, making them promising for applications in electronics, automotive manufacturing, and defense. However, their poor corrosion resistance limits their applications to some extent. In contrast, aluminum alloys exhibit superior corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, leading to their widespread use in manufacturing structural components such as pressure hulls for underwater equipment. Considering the combined characteristics of magnesium and aluminum alloys, the fabrication of aluminum / magnesium layered composite shell components holds significant promise for applications in high-pressure, lightweight applications.

[0003] During the fabrication of aluminum / magnesium layered composite shells, brittle intermetallic compounds are easily formed at the interface, reducing the interfacial bonding strength and consequently affecting the overall performance of the shell. Magnesium alloys have a close-packed hexagonal crystal structure, making them prone to plastic deformation at room temperature and cracking. They are also susceptible to oxidation during heating, affecting the magnesium-aluminum interfacial bonding and forming properties. Obtaining a high-performance interface is a pressing issue to be addressed in the fabrication of aluminum / magnesium composite shell components.

[0078] Conclusion: The aluminum / magnesium layered composite shell uses aluminum alloy as the outer layer material and magnesium alloy as the inner layer material to achieve lightweight, high strength and corrosion resistance. A pre-fabricated threaded groove structure on the inner surface of the aluminum alloy cylinder enables three-dimensional mechanical interlocking between the aluminum and magnesium interfaces, improving the interfacial shear strength. During the internal spinning process, high-energy ultrasonic waves are applied to the cylindrical rolling element I115 to promote the plastic flow of the inner magnesium alloy and reduce deformation resistance. During the external spinning process, high-energy ultrasonic fields are simultaneously applied to the spinning wheel and the external spinning die 211 to achieve an integrated spinning forming of a mesh-like inner rib structure, ensuring the forming accuracy of the shell and thus producing a high-quality aluminum / magnesium layered composite shell.
