Investigation of Bonding Strength of Al Solid Phase Diffusion Bonded Joint with Surface Treatment Using Electrolyzed Water

摘要

In this study, the effect of surface treatment of Al with alkaline (pH 10.5 and pH 12.4) and acidic (pH 3.7) electrolyzed water was investigated on bonding strength of solid phase diffusion bonded Al. Aluminum hydroxide and hydroxyl groups were appeared on the surface of Al which was treated with alkaline electrolyzed water of pH 12.4 at 323 K for 2700 s. It was found that such treatment is similar to the one with NaOH aqueous solution at 323 K for 30 s. For bonding strength, shear strength of the bonded Al specimens treated with electrolyzed water of pH 12.4 at 293 K for 3 s and 30 s were higher than that of the untreated specimen.
