Copper-tungsten sintered alloys (abbreviated as Cu-W below) have excellent characteristics such as electrical conductivity and oxidation resistance, but because of their high price, when they are applied to components to provide electrical contacts, they are attached by silver brazing with dissimilar metals (for example, copper). However, a problem arises in that the strength of the silver brazed joints is not only lower than that of the copper base material, but is also highly variable. For this reason, the development of a welding method for Cu-W is desired which would make it possible to obtain a higher strength and more stable quality as compared with the silver brazing method. To examine the feasibility of the application of friction welding to welding Cu-W and dissimilar metals, the authors clarified the effect of W content in Cu-W on friction welded joint strength in Cu-W to copper. 15 However, with respect to aluminium, one of the dissimilar metals likely to be employed in future, it is difficult from the research findings published so far" to estimate what kinds of metallurgical microstructures such as intermetallic compound layers are formed and what sort of effect they have on the strength of friction welds to Cu-W. Concerning friction welding between Cu, ie matrix of Cu-W, and Al, there have been reports by Fukushima, 10 Morozumi," etc, which pointed out the possibility of some reduction in joint strength owing to the formation of intermetallic compounds. However, since the intermetallic compound layers are very thin, the studies did not deal much with the effect of their distribution and morphology on the joint strength.Therefore, in this report, as a basis for the examination of phenomena in friction welding Cu-W to Al in future research, 12 friction welding was conducted between Al and oxygen free copper (abbreviated as OFC below), ie a material similar to Cu matrix metals. Objectives were first to study the distribution and form of the intermetallic layers formed during friction welding, and secondly to investigate the critical thickness of intermetallic layers for securing good joint strength, and also the intermetallic phases which most affect the joint strength.
