Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Corrosion-Induced Failures in Copper-Tin Alloy (Cu-Sn) and Aluminum-Magnesium Alloy (Al-Mg) Connectors: A Stress–Corrosion Coupling Analysis
Abstract: The utilization of an integrated experimental and finite element modelling (FEM) methodology, this study investigates the degradation and failure mechanisms in polymer composite electrical connectors exposed to aggressive environmental conditions. Epoxy- and polyamide-based composites, reinforced with carbon and glass fibers, were subjected to accelerated salt spray and humidity–temperature cycles to simulate prolonged outdoor exposure. Electrochemical and environmental aging experiments revealed that chloride ions and moisture ingress were responsible for matrix …

A Brief Review on Interfaces of Copper Welded to Different Materials
Abstract: In engineering applications, three metals with high conductivity are primarily used such as copper (Cu), aluminium (Al), and silver (Ag). Each has its unique set of properties that affect specific engineering applications. Infact the choice of conductor depends on a mixture of cost, technical parameters, and environmental conditions. Among these, Copper is widely valued in engineering applications due to its antimicrobial property, excellent electrical (about 100% IACS) and thermal conductivity, …
