Fatigue of metallic components is an important aspect in mechanical engineering. For example, the repeated pressure differences result in the fatigue of the fuselage of aircrafts. These high demands require the application of endurable and lightweight materials. In this context, laminated metal composites produced by the accumulative roll bonding process can fulfill both aspects: outstanding mechanical strength of lightweight materials, due to an ultrafine-grained microstructure, combined with the possibility to produce fatigue-resistant materials by varying the stacking order of the laminated metal composites. This work investigates laminated metal composites consisting of aluminum AA2024 and titanium grade 1 layers with different stacking orders in respect to their three-point bending fatigue properties. Additional finite element method (FEM) calculations of the stress distributions in the laminated metal composites are used to explain the results. The mechanical properties of the laminates with an outer aluminum or titanium layer are discussed based on the investigations of nanohardness and crack propagations. Although maximum bending stresses at the sheet surface of laminates with outer Titanium layer are higher than in monolithic materials, these laminates exhibit good lightweight potentials due to the weight reducing aluminum in inner layers.
