Abstract: Hot-dipped aluminum copper with plating auxiliary KF is introduced in this work. In this study, the intermetallic layer thickness varies with dipping temperature and time in a linear relationship. The main phases are identified to be CuAl(2) and K(3)AlF(6) by means of X-ray diffraction. The reaction equations are deduced according to the elements concentration gradient in cross section. The copper diffusion rate in liquid Al is calculated to be 1.13 x 10(-12) m(2)/s by Fick's second law in semi-infinite solid model, and the obtained conductivity is 1.758-1.767 x 10(-2) Omega mm(2)/m. The results indicate that the interfacial bonding is in a good state and plating auxiliary KF aqueous solution. can significantly improve the substrate wettability. The appropriate hot-dipping condition for the samples is 953-973 K for 4-8 s. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
