Abstract

An aluminum alloy member is made of an aluminum alloy having a Mg concentration set in a range of 0.4 mass % or more and 7.0 mass % or less and a Si concentration set to less than 1 mass %, the aluminum alloy member and a copper member are bonded to each other through solid-phase diffusion, and a compound layer made up of a first intermetallic compound layer that is disposed on the aluminum alloy member side and made of a θ phase of an intermetallic compound of Cu and Al, a second intermetallic compound layer that is disposed on the copper member side and made of a γ 2 phase of an intermetallic compound of Cu and Al, and a Cu—Al—Mg layer provided between the first intermetallic compound layer and the second intermetallic compound layer is provided in a bonding interface between the aluminum alloy member and the copper member.

Claims (27)

1. A bonded body having an aluminum alloy member made of an aluminum alloy and a copper member made of copper or a copper alloy that are bonded to each other,

wherein the aluminum alloy member is made of an aluminum alloy having a Mg concentration set in a range of 0.4 mass % or more and 7.0 mass % or less and a Si concentration set to less than 1 mass %, the aluminum alloy member and the copper member are bonded to each other through solid-phase diffusion,

a compound layer provided by diffusion of metal atoms in the aluminum alloy member and Cu atoms in the copper member is provided in a bonding interface between the aluminum alloy member and the copper member, and

the compound layer is made up of a first intermetallic compound layer that is disposed on the aluminum alloy member side and made of a θ phase of an intermetallic compound of Cu and Al, a second intermetallic compound layer that is disposed on the copper member side and made of a γ 2 phase of an intermetallic compound of Cu and Al, and a Cu—Al—Mg layer provided between the first intermetallic compound layer and the second intermetallic compound layer.

2. The bonded body according to claim 1 ,
