Abstract
This study examined the microstructure and mechanical properties of explosively welded (EXW) Fe–Al multilayer laminated composite pipes, specifically SS321/AA1050/AA5083, with varying stand-off distances (SD) and post-weld heat treatments (PWHT). Findings revealed that higher collision forces at higher-SD produced a wavy interface with finer grains at the AA1050/AA5083 interface. In contrast, lower-SD yielded a smooth, flat interface. At the SS321/AA1050 interface, collision energy resulted in the formation of an uneven composite reaction layer comprising multiple intermetallics. Analysis of the SS321/AA1050 interface revealed that an increase in the PWHT temperature results in diffusion toward the reaction layer, transforming the unevenly Al-rich and Fe-rich phases into a uniform Al 85 (Fe,Cr,Ni) 15 solid solution. The increase in the fraction of this phase made the reaction layer more brittle. At the AA1050/AA5083 interface, PWHT at higher temperatures caused a significant hardness decline extending further from the interface in samples with higher-SD. On the SS321 side of the laminated composite, higher SD resulted in higher kernel average misorientation (KAM) and increased hardness. Despite a decrease in hardness after PWHT at 350 °C, the hardness gradient from the matrix to the interface in laminates with higher SD remained relatively unaffected, whereas the lower SD counterparts experienced a noticeable stress relief.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
