To explore the interface morphology of magnetic pulse welding ( MPW) between copper and carbon steel, metallurgical joint between T2 copper ring and 50#carbon steel tube was obtained through MPW process under discharge voltage of 11 kV, radial gap of 2. 2 mm and lapped ratio of 3/4. Interface morphologies, elemental diffusions and hardness distributions were investigated by means of optical metallographic, SEM/EDS, microhardness and nano indentation tests. The joints were composed of not welding area, wavy bonding area and straight bonding area. The length of metallurgical joint is up to 5 mm. Within the wavy bonding area, the wavelength and amplitude are about 60μm and 20μm, respectively. The width of mutual diffusion region of Cu, Fe elements is up to 2 μm in the straight bonding area. And it increases up to 6 μm in the wavy bonding area. The hardnesswas enhanced as 1.5 times as its initial value. The highest hardness values appear at near the interface of the 50 steel sides, while the interfacial hardness is between two kinds of base materials.
