Nontraditional self-healing alloy composite has been introduced to address the need for self-repairable high-strength structural materials. Cu-Zn/Al laminates are uniaxial hot pressed for either lamellar or particulate composite. A new bridging and stitching technique is introduced with crack mitigation via the synergetic effect of interfacial alloying elements. Low melting phase (LMP) induced structures of Al phase, Cr-Fe phase, and Al-Cu-Zn phase via alloy segregation. Microstructural and mechanical characterization is also established via scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and tensile testing. The interphase kinetic established with micro plasticity, metal flow, low melting phase, LMP and delocalized Al enriched zone and Cu enriched zone. The improvements in performance of self-healing interphase with SMA composite structure are due to heating of low melting phase induce crack closure, and crack mitigation via stitching and bridging mechanisms. Engineering material can be designed with multifunctionalities ranging from the macro- to Nano-scale to optimize performance while minimizing time and the need for extensive repair.
