  abstract     = {{The influence of a chemical or mechanical surface modification followed by different post-heat treatments on the bond strength of galvanized steel/ aluminum composites is studied. An incremental rolling process is used for joint formation based on plastic deformation. The morphology, the chemical state of the modified surfaces as well as the cross-section, and local potential distribution of the welded zone is characterized by different microscopic and spectroscopic methods. The stability of the joint is analyzed by a shear-force test in combination with microscopic failure analysis. A clear correlation between pre/post-treatment and the joint strength is observed.}},

  abstract     = {{Interface modification based on ultra-thin mercapto-propyl(trimethoxy) silane (MPTMS) films is shown to promote joining of copper and aluminum by plastic deformation followed by a heat treatment. The surface morphology and the surface chemistry of the metal substrates were analyzed by means of FE-SEM, XPS, and FT-IRRAS. The spectroscopic data show that the MPTMS film is crosslinked via Si-O-Si bonds and that stable Cu-S and Si-O-Al interfacial bonds are formed. The shear-force tests of the joints led to force displacement curves that are characteristic for a covalently bonded interface. Complementary cross sectional SEM and EDS analysis of the joint proved that a defect-free interface was formed without any measureable interdiffusion of metals across the interface or cracking of an oxide films.}},
