"The growth behavior and kinetics of intermetallic compounds in Cu–Al i" by Dandan Zhao, Weijia Guo et al.
Due to the low production cost and light weight, copper-clad aluminum conductors show great potential value in the field of power transmission, while the phase structure and organizational changes at the Cu–Al interface in high-temperature environments have a great impact on the electrical and mechanical properties. In this paper, Cu–Al diffusion couples are prepared to study the diffusion process, microstructure, and growth kinetics of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) in Cu–Al interface during heating from 600 °C to 800 °C, and the mechanical and electrical properties of Cu–Al diffusi...
