Abstract

Plasma-activated sintering (PAS) has been applied, for the first time, to join magnesium and aluminum using a CuNi/Ag/CuNi sandwich structural interlayer. A cleaning effect and high efficient plasma heating mode in PAS have contributed to forming a strong interfacial diffusion bond under low temperature 673 K (400 °C) and short dwell time (0.6 ks). The designed interlayer provides a diffusion barrier effect and an enhanced physical contact between the interfaces. Strong bonding has been achieved without forming the brittle Mg-Al intermetallics.
