Facing the relating questions such as evaluation method of clad material was not perfect and only as estimate approach, application of ROME law was less to VCM clad sheet, the differences between the predicted values and experimental values were bigger when static loading condition, a new evaluation index of mechanical properties for VCM multi-layer sheet was proposed using ROME law, the index contain deviation coefficient, influence coefficient and the gradient coefficient. The indicators were based on the classical uniaxial tensile test, that materials including VCM deep-drawing multi-layer sheet, VCM non-deep drawing multi-layer sheet, deep-drawing substrate sheet, non-deep drawing substrate sheet and VCM multi-layer sheet are targeted experimental object respectively. The corresponding data were obtained using the tensile machine. The results showed that total elongation at most load and breaking elongation are agreed well with ROME law, tensile strength is basically agreed with ROME law, elastic modulus and the upper yield strength are not agreed with ROME law. The magnitude of the elastic modulus and the upper yield strength and tensile strength of the VCM multi-layer sheet are mainly depended on the steel substrate, the magnitude of the total elongation at the largest load and the breaking elongation of the VCM multi-layer sheet are mainly affected by film clad.
