Abstract

A method for producing a roll-bonded metal sheet comprises bringing together a metallic main material layer and a metallic plating material layer to produce a layer stack. The layer stack is then heated. This is followed by thermomechanical rolling of the heated layer stack, comprising: a first rolling phase for rough rolling the heated layer stack to form a metallurgical bond between the metallic main material layer and the metallic plating material layer; a second rolling phase for finally forming the layer stack; and a cooling period between the first rolling phase and the second rolling phase. The chemical composition of the plating material has a content in mass % of Nb ≤ 3.1, preferably of Nb ≤ 2.8, in particular of Nb + Ta ≤ 2.8. The final rolling temperature of the second rolling phase is set to a value less than or equal to 880°C, in particular 850°C.
