New Dissimilar Joining Method of CFRP/A6061 Al by Cu Electrodeposition

Abstract

A new CFRP-aluminum joining method has been developed by Cu electrodeposition. Cu deposition was filled into the roughened CFRP surface and the significant anchor effect was attained by the joining method. As a result, CFRP and A6061 Al alloy were successfully joined by Cu electrodeposition and a high joining strength of 67 MPa was obtained.
