Factors influencing Al-Cu weld properties by intermetallic compound formation

ANALYTICAL DATA FOR NiO REDUCTION AND Al3Ni2 INTERMETALLIC COMPOUND FORMATION

In this research, the nickel oxide was dissolved in cryolite at temperatures of 880, 940 and 1000°C. In order to reduce the nickel oxide, aluminum was added to the salt. Simultaneously the nickel oxide was reduced and Al3Ni2 intermetallic compound was formed. In the duration intervals of 2.5-40 minutes samples of the salt and metallic phases were taken. The variation of the nickel content in me...

A metastable HCP intermetallic phase in Cu-Al bilayer films

Effect of Reflow Profile on Intermetallic Compound Formation

Reflow soldering in a nitrogen atmosphere is a common process consideration in surface mount technology assembly. This is because the use of nitrogen in reflow equipment may benefit the process as well as the quality of the end product, where it can increase the reliability of the solder joint. So far, many papers have reported effects of cooling speed, type of solder pastes and solder fluxes o...

STRUCTURE OF STABLE INTERMETALLIC COMPOUNDS OF THE Al-Li-Cu-(Mg) AND Al-Li-Zn-(Cu) SYSTEMS

The results of a thorough structural study of crystalline intermetallic compounds within the Al-Li-(Cu,Mg,Zn) system are given. Characteristic morphologies of these ternary or quaternary phases are exhibited by concentrated alloys or large single crystals. Typical X-ray powder diffraction data, selected area electron diffraction patterns and high resolution electron microscopy images are shown,...

Control of Formation of Intermetallic Compound in Dissimilar Joints Aluminum-steel

The elimination of the FexAly type phases was considered the solution to low ductility presented in aluminum-steel welded joints. Recently, the researches do not seek the suppression but the control of the thickness of these compounds. In this work, Al-Fe joints were manufactured by solid state and fusion welding, looking for controlling the formation of intermetallic comp...
