Effect of zinc interlayer on ultrasonic spot welded aluminum-to-copper joints

Dissimilar aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) metals were joined together using ultrasonic spot welding (USW), a solid state welding technology. The welds were made with and without a zinc (Zn) interlayer to study the microstructural and mechanical properties of weld joints to analyze the effect of the Z...

description Dissimilar aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) metals were joined together using ultrasonic spot welding (USW), a solid state welding technology. The welds were made with and without a zinc (Zn) interlayer to study the microstructural and mechanical properties of weld joints to analyze the effect of the Zn interlayer. USWed Al-to-Cu joints did not produce any intermetallic compounds (IMCs), and only swirls and voids were observed. It was determined through energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction scans that welds with a Zn interlayer placed in-between the faying surfaces of the base metals formed a composite-like eutectic structure of Al and Al2Cu at the center and Al–Zn and CuZn5 at the edges of the welded joint. Al–Cu joints welded with a Zn interlayer in-between displayed lap shear tensile strengths 25–170% greater than those of the welds without any interlayer.
