INTERMETALLIC BONDING BETWEEN A RING CARRIER AND AN ALUMINUM PISTON ALLOY

Abstract This paper presents an analysis of the intermetallic bond between a ring carrier and an aluminum piston alloy. An optical microscope combined with the SEM / EDS analysis has been used to metallographically analyze the quality of the intermetallic bonding layer. The obtained results show that can be established intermetallic bond between two materials of different qualities
