At a time when both plastics and polymer-based composites have been making strides in the steel markets, materials utilizing steel and its strong features, along with additional required properties, have become more and more popular. These materials are multilayer composite structures consisting of layers of metal bonded or separated by adhesives, polymeric films, ceramic layers, etc. Existing and potential applications of such materials, including noise and vibration reduction, weight reduction and corrosion protection are described. Material properties are presented together with families of materials for different applications. Also presented are recommendations on parts` manufacturing techniques, including deep drawing, press forming, welding, etc. Development of these materials was accompanied by new approaches in manufacturing that will also be discussed.
