Abstract
A metal strip and a process for manufacturing such a metal strip are disclosed. In order to be able to reproducibly manufacture a durable metal strip, it is proposed for a butt seam to extend essentially between a first cladding layer of a first strip transverse portion and a second strip transverse portion.
Claims20
A metal strip comprising:
- a first strip transverse portion made of a first metal strip, which has a first base layer made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and
- a second strip transverse portion made of a second metal strip, which second metal strip has a tensile strength (Rm)≥360 MPa and a second base layer made of copper or a copper alloy,
- wherein the first strip transverse portion and the second strip transverse portion are integrally bonded to each other by a butt seam extending along the metal strip, and the first metal strip has a first cladding layer made of copper or a copper alloy provided along at least one longitudinal edge on the first base layer and the butt seam extends essentially between the first cladding layer of the first strip transverse portion and the second strip transverse portion.
