“…The main applications of Al-Cu joints are as conductors in transformers, electrical connectors, busbars, heat exchanges, etc., combining the electrical conduction capacity of copper and the heat dissipation capacity of aluminum [19,20,28]. The selection of the appropriate welding parameters, such as the rotational speed, traverse speed and tool plunge depth, plays an important role in these investigations [4,5,7,24,29]. Previous studies undertaken on these alloys have achieved excellent quality welds with good mechanical properties [1,4,22,25,30,31]; however, corrosion resistance has barely been studied [27,29,[32][33][34].…”
