In this paper, brass/steel/brass clad-composite was fabricated using a cold roll-bonding process. Composite sheets were roll-bonded at reduction ratios between 37 and 72% at room temperature from strips of 150 mm in length and 30 mm wide, in one pass without lubrication. The threshold deformation for successful bonding was at a thickness reduction of 48% and peel strengths of the bonds were measured to be approximately 12 N cm -1 , and it was found to escalate with an increase in the rolling reduction. The optimum reduction in thickness was ~66% wherein the peel strength was ~33 N cm -1 . Various techniques such as optical and electron microscopy were implemented to analyze and investigate the effects of the reduction in thickness and the joining mechanism. The results showed that an increased reduction in thickness in rolling leads to an increase in the joining strength. Furthermore, increasing the brass plate thickness negatively affects the joining strength. A Cu peak on the peeled-off steel surface and the presence of Fe on the peeled-off brass surface strongly suggest that the major bonding between brass and steel was mechanically induced metallurgical bonding.
