Abstract

The need for assembly between dissimilar materials often arises in complex industrial applications. It avoids problems inherent in conventional welding. Therefore, in this study the performance of welded joints developed using a rotary friction welding machine, between Cu/Al, are characterized. The interface of the welded assembly of dissimilar copper Cua1 and AA2014 aluminum, consists of several intermetallic compounds mainly CuAl2, CuAl and Cu9Al4. Dendrites have been revealed, this structure is known to be the result of solidification. While rotary friction welding is done at the solid state. In this work, we seek to know the phenomena that take place during the entire process and in the creation of the interface. This article presents the study of the Al/Cu interfacial structure of welded joints made by rotary friction in a modified cycle with two steps.
