Copper and aluminum materials are extensively used in different industries because of its
great conductivities and corrosion resistant nature. It is important to join dissimilar materials …

The main drawback of friction stir welding (FSW) dissimilar metals is the formation of
intermetallic compounds (IMCs), which are brittle and affect the strength of the joint. The …

In this study, the pinless friction stir spot welding of aluminum–copper composite with Zn
interlayer was analyzed under experimental measurement and finite element method. The …

Components made by joining different materials are required in various engineering
applications. Fabrication of such components is a challenging task due to the vast difference …

Abstract Steel (St) and aluminum (Al) have a high affinity to each other and form intermetallic
compounds (IMCs) when bonded by friction stir welding (FSW). Understanding the effect of …

With the rapid development of various industries, the connection of copper and aluminum is
in high demand. However, as a solid-phase connection technology, friction stir welding has …

Dissimilar friction stir welding (FSW) of copper and aluminum was investigated by nine
different tool designs, while the rest of the process parameters were kept constant …

It is well documented that the mechanical failure mechanism of various compounds of
aluminum 1050 and commercial pure copper (Al/Cu) involves a combination of brittle and …

Dissimilar butt joint of pure aluminum and commercially pure copper was prepared using
friction stir welding (FSW) process and subsequent post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) was …

A 5-mm-thick aluminum sheet (Al) was successfully welded by friction stir welding (FSW) to a
3-mm-thick carbon steel (St) in a butt configuration. For this purpose, a new joint design was …
