This paper investigates plastic deformation and bonding behavior ofsheets at the roll-gap in complex rolling of sandwich sheets unbonding beforerolling by experimental approaches. The effects of reduction, thickness ratio of inner layer and total thickness at the entrance, flow stress of the sheets,etc., upon the relative bonding length, thickness ratio at the exit, and newlygenerated surface ratio are discussed systematically. Sandwich sheets combined from aluminum, copper and cold steel sheetsare employed to carry out experiments of cold rolling of sandwich sheets.Through a series of analyses on relative bonding length, newly generated surface ratio, and mean contact pressure, it is known that the relativebonding length will increase first then decrease as the reduction increase,Further, at larger reductions, the same tendency occurs again. In addition,as the thickness ratio of the inner layer and the total thickness at theentrance, and flow stress of the inner layer increase, the relative bonding length decreases.
