Abstract

Abstract The 1.5 mm thick Cu/Al composite sheet was obtained after explosive-welding and 6 passes cold rolling. The effects of annealing temperature and time on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and conductivity of cold-rolled Cu/Al composite sheets were investigated. The results show that the thickness of the interface diffusion layer with compounds of Al 2 Cu, AlCu, and Al 4 Cu 9 increases with the increase in annealing temperature and holding time, and the total activation energy is 108 kJ mol −1 . The tensile strength of composite sheets decreases and the fracture elongation increases with the increase of annealing temperature. Especially when the annealing temperature increased from 300 ℃ to 350 ℃, the tensile yield strength decreased from 225 MPa to 77 MPa, and the elongation increased from 16% to 37.5%. The tensile-shear strength of composite sheets reaches to 117 MPa after annealing at 400 ℃ for 2 h. The conductivity of composite sheet is greatly affected by the annealing time. At the annealing temperature of 350 ℃ and time of 4 h, the composite sheets show a better conductivity of 96.4% IACS.

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.
