Improved mechanical and electrical properties of copper-aluminum joints with highly aligned graphene reinforcement via friction stir spot welding
Abstract
This study demonstrates the potential of friction stir spot welding (FSSW) for producing highly aligned graphene configurations in copper-aluminum joints, resulting in improved mechanical and electrical properties. Pure copper and AA6061 sheet were welded with 0.5% graphene nanoparticles dispersed in ethanol drop cast at the interface. Under optimized experimental conditions, adding a graphene interlayer results in a 15.6% increase in maximum shear strength, a 46% increase in hardness value, and a 23% reduction in joint electrical resistance. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the laminar flow behavior of the material aligns the graphene nanoparticles parallel to the tool surface direction. The mechanical improvements are attributed to the reduction of grain size and the plastic incompatibilities that arise at the metal-graphene interface. The highly aligned graphene configuration provides more conductive paths and acts as a bridge between grains to reduce grain boundary resistance, reducing electrical resistance. These findings pave the way for exploring the possibilities of utilizing the anisotropic properties of graphene in material joining applications.

“To avoid direct contact and lessen the production of IMCs, research has also looked into the insertion of an intermediate layer of a third element between Al and Cu, such as graphene [26], zinc (Zn) [27] or nickel (Ni) [28, 29].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
