Joining of pure copper C1100 and aluminum alloy A6061-T6 plates of 5 mm thickness was investigated. The method was developed by one of the authors, in which the newly created surfaces of a pair of plates obtained by high-speed shear were immediately in contact with a sliding motion with a small overlap length. The total processing time was just about a few milliseconds. To create the new surface, high-speed shaving was also tested. The joining was not possible for the full thickness of the plates. A sharp notch was observed at the joint boundary due to a large shear droop in the copper. Shaving decreased the shear droop, and the joint length through the plate thickness became longer. The joining performance was evaluated by a uniaxial tensile test. The joint efficiency reached 100% using the specimen cut out from the really joined boundary. The affected zone of joining was confirmed by the hardness distribution near the boundary. It was about 30% of the thickness of the plate, which was much smaller than that in welding by heat, and no softened zone was found in both materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
