Abstract: A method for producing a composite material by plating a band arrangement with a top side (O) and a bottom side (U), wherein the band arrangement comprises at least a first strip and a second strip, which form between them a filling channel, wherein the band arrangement comprises at least one filler strip, wherein the abovementioned band arrangement is plated, wherein a part of the filler strip, during the plating, is extruded into the filling channel; and a composite material, characterized in that it has been produced according to the method as disclosed.

Abstract: A clad metal composite produced according to a method for edge-to-edge cladding of two or more different metals (such as aluminum and copper). The metals are joined next to each other to form an edge-to-edge or side-by-side clad bimetal. In one embodiment, nine metal strips are used to create the desired clad metal composite. The design includes strips of metal that have industry standard cut edges (such as, slit-cut edges). In one embodiment, the clad metal composite includes multiple layers of metals positioned edge-to-edge. In one embodiment, the method of making an edge-to-edge composite includes providing multiple layers of metal made of separate strips, aligning the strips in the multiple layers with one another so that edges of the strips of the multiple layers do not align with one another, and then bonding the layers and strips to one another.
