Abstract

Carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites (C_f/Al) are widely used in various industries. But they are difficult to join because it is hard to realize the wetting and continuity of the carbon fiber in joint. To solve this problem, C_f/Al are joined by ultrasonic soldering in this work. Results show that the C_f/Al can be wetted within 5 s under ultrasonic. Transmission electron microscope result shows that the surface of the wetted carbon fiber is covered by an amorphous-nanocrystalline layer, which is formed due to the high solder velocity, temperature and pressure caused by cavitation. Carbon fibers flow into the solder after the Al matrix is eroded, guaranteeing its continuity in the joint. Limited carbon fibers flow into the joint at low ultrasonic power of 333.3 W, while a fully carbon fiber reinforced composite joint is obtained at 1000 W. The soldered joints have higher strength than the C_f/Al substrate, and its formation mechanism is discussed.
