With the advantages of respective component materials, metal laminates can achieve comprehensive performance that cannot be satisfied by a single metal, which are one of the most important metal structural materials in recent years and have been widely used in the fields of aerospace, defense and military industry, transportation, and equipment manufacturing. Rolling method is one of the main preparation methods of metal laminates, and has the advantages of stable and continuous production. In this paper, the research progress of metal laminates roll bonding process at home and abroad is reviewed, and the currently recognized metal laminates roll bonding hypotheses including mechanical meshing theory and metal bonding theory are discussed. The advantages, disadvantages, and application scope of hot rolling, cold rolling, differential temperature rolling, accumulative rolling, asymmetrical rolling, and other bonding processes are classified and summarized. The characteristics of metal laminates roll bonding technologies are analyzed by theoretical analysis of slab method, stream function method, and upper bound method. Aiming at the connection problem of the interface to be bonded in numerical simulation, the interface processing models such as bonding model and common node model are briefly described. The bonding criteria of the fixed value or functional relationship of stress field, strain field, and velocity field are summarized. Based on the shortcomings of the current roll bonding process, the internationally pioneered corrugated-flat rolling (CFR) process proposed by the research team is introduced, which has low residual stress, good shape, and high bonding strength. Besides, the prospect of the future research emphases of roll bonding process is put forward.
