Popis: Joining of pure copper C1100 and aluminum alloy A6061-T6 plates of 5 mm thickness was investigated. The method was developed by one of the authors, in which the newly created surfaces of a pair of plates obtained by high-speed shear were immediately in contact with a sliding motion with a small overlap length. The total processing time was just about a few milliseconds. To create the new surface, high-speed shaving was also tested. The joining was not possible for the full thickness of the plates. A sharp notch was observed at the joint boundary due to a large shear droop in the copper. Shaving decreased the shear droop, and the joint length through the plate thickness became longer. The joining performance was evaluated by a uniaxial tensile test. The joint efficiency reached 100% using the specimen cut out from the really joined boundary. The affected zone of joining was confirmed by the hardness distribution near the boundary. It was about 30% of the thickness of the plate, which was much smaller than that in welding by heat, and no softened zone was found in both materials.
