Bi-metallic products are obtained
by joining materials with different physical and chemical properties through
various methods. The Mechanical Locking Method, based on the principle of
joining materials by means of plastic deformation, is an alternative,
environmentally friendly and novel method among them. In this study, Cu and
AISI 1040 steel material pairs, which are almost impossible to be joined by
using conventional methods, were joined by using Mechanical Locking Method. In
the joining process, constant speed (1400 rpm), constant feed rate (16 mm/min)
and different channel depths (10, 13, and 15 mm) were used. The effect of the
channel depth, one of the physical design parameters, on the joint quality was
investigated. Therefore, the mechanical and microstructural properties of the
joints were determined experimentally. In conclusion, it was determined that
the Cu/AISI 1040 material pair was successfully joined by using Mechanical
Locking Method and the most suitable channel depth was 10 mm.
