Formation and distribution of brittle structures in friction stir welding of aluminium and copper: influence of process parameters
Abstract
Morphological, metallographic and structural analyses of aluminium–copper dissimilar welds produced under different friction stir welding conditions were conducted in order to analyse the mechanisms of intermetallic phases formation, its relation with welding conditions and its consequences in the weld structure and morphology. Under lower heat input conditions, only a thin intermetallic layer distributed along the aluminium/copper interface was depicted inside the nugget. Increasing the heat input promoted material mixing and formation of increasing amounts of intermetallic rich structures. The intermetallic phase content and the homogeneity of the mixed area increased with increasing heat input, evolving from structures containing Al, Cu, CuAl2 and Cu9Al4 to structures predominantly composed of Cu9Al4 and Cu(Al). In order to explain these results, the mechanisms of intermetallic phases formation are discussed, taking into account the process parameters and material flow mechanisms in friction stir welding. Important relations between intermetallic formation and weld surface morphology were also found.

Formation of brittle intermetallic compounds (IMCs) such as AlCu, Al2Cu, and Al4Cu9 deteriorates Al-Cu joints and compromises their reliability.
“One of the main challenges is the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds (IMCs), such as AlCu, Al₂Cu, and Al₄Cu₉, which deteriorate the joint and compromise its reliability [5], [6], [7].”

“One of the main challenges is the formation of brittle inter-metallic compounds (IMCs), i.e., reaction layers or particles formed at the Al-Cu interface due to interdiffusion during welding, such as AlCu, Al ₂ Cu, and Al ₄ Cu ₉ , which deteriorate the joint and compromise its reliability [5–7].”

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.
