Abstract :
As a result of improved techniques, the quality of flash-welded joints between aluminum and copper has been greatly improved so that they can now be made commercially. To evaluate these techniques, tests were made on 500 joints and the effects of heating on tensile strength, ductility, resistance to impact, and electrical resistance were determined.
