Abstract

In this investigation, thin Aluminum alloys 2A12 and Copper T2 composite plates which are both 1mm thick were obtained successfully by the method of explosive welding. The effect of annealing on the interface microstructures of the composite plates was investigated under different temperatures. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, micro-hardness test and bending test were performed. The results demonstrated that the Al/Cu composite plates were bonded well. The bonding interface of the Al/Cu composite plates had a wavy form. Micro-hardness measurements showed that the hardness of the composite plates near the interface was higher than other parts and the hardness of the whole composite plates was lower after annealing. The bending test showed the composite plates can be deformed or shaped.
