Effect of Cu–Al Ratio on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Cu–Al Alloys Prepared by Powder Metallurgy
Cu–Al alloys are widely used in electronics, new energy, and other fields due to the combination of th excellent corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity of Cu and the light weight of Al. In this paper, the powder metallurgy and equal-channel angular pressing compound technology was used to fabricate a Cu–Al alloy joint, which can be used to replace armor. Devices such as an optical microscope, electron scanning microscope, and microhardness scale were used to characterize the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Cu–Al alloys. The finite element analysis software Abaqus was used to analyze stress distribution during equal-channel angular pressing. The results indicated that the microstructure and properties of Cu–Al alloys were closely related to the volume ratio of Cu–Al. The microhardness and tensile strength were significantly increased by increasing the volume ratio of Cu–Al. As the volume ratio of Cu–Al varied from 1:2 to 2:1, the ultimate tensile strength of the Cu–Al alloys increased from 79.9 MPa to 164.9 MPa at room temperature and the microhardness increased from 60 HV to 101 HV. However, the elongation of the Cu–Al alloys hardly changed; this was about 4.4%. Crack initiation occurred at the Cu–Al interface and spread along the bonding surface of the Cu–Al alloys during the tensile process.

Effect of Liquid-Solid Volume Ratio and Surface Treatment on Microstructure and Properties of Cu/Al Bimetallic Composite
Due to exceptional conductivity, lightweight nature, corrosion resistance, and various other advantages, Cu/Al bimetallic composites are extensively utilized in the fields of communication, new energy, electronics, and other industries. To solve the problem of poor metallurgical bonding of Cu/Al bimetallic composites caused by high-temperature oxidation of Cu, different coating thicknesses of Ni layer on Cu rods were used to fabricate the Cu/Al bimetallic composite by gravity casting. The effect of liquid–solid volume ratio and coating thickness on microstructure and properties of a Cu/Al bimetallic composite were investigated in this study. The results indicated that the transition zone width increased from 242.3 μm to 286.3 μm and shear strength increased from 17.8 MPa to 30.3 MPa with a liquid–solid volume ratio varying from 8.86 to 50. The thickness of the transition zone and shear strength increased with the coating thickness of the Ni layer varying from 1.5 μm to 3.8 μm, due to the Ni layer effectively preventing oxidation on the surface of the Cu rod and promoting the metallurgical bonding of the Cu/Al interface. The presence of a residual Ni layer in the casted material hinders the diffusion process of the Cu and Al atom. Therefore, the thickness of the transition zone and shear strength exhibited a decreasing trend as the coating thickness of the Ni layer increased from 3.8 μm to 5.9 μm. Shear fracture observation revealed that the initiation and propagation of shear cracks occurred within the transition zone of the Cu/Al bimetallic composite.
