Abstract	To improve casting and product yields of Fusion™ cast AA3003-core/AA4045-clad laminate ingots, a fundamental understanding of the wetting and interface formation process between the oxidized AA3003 cast surface and the AA4045 melt is required. In this study, a laboratory scale analog/immersion test was developed which mimics the wetting and interface formation process that occurs during Fusion™ casting. The effects of reheating and remelting of the AA3003 cast surface, the degree of surface oxidation present during initial contact of the two alloys, and the atmospheric conditions (air or argon) on interface formation when dipped into an AA4045 melt were examined. Results indicated that in an argon atmosphere, wetting and dissolution of the solid, oxidized AA3003 samples by liquid AA4045 occurred at temperatures both above and below the measured onset of AA3003 remelting. AA3003/AA4045 interfaces were similar to those produced during Fusion™ casting, with a thin layer of AA4045 forming an oxide-free, metallurgical interface to the AA3003 after immersion. The AA3003 surface oxides were not an impediment to wetting and bond formation. Mg surface segregation was observed on the oxidized AA3003 surfaces and may play a role to help penetrate the oxide layer. For tests conducted in air, wetting of the sample by AA4045 liquid was generally poor regardless of temperature.
