The invention relates to a method for measuring the thickness of an
intermetallic compound of a
copper-clad aluminum
composite material, and relates to the field of
metal material analys.The thickness measuring method comprises the steps that an
intermetallic compound sample at the composite interface of a
copper-clad aluminum sample is taken, the
hardness of the interface is obtained through a
nanoindenter, and main constituent compounds of the interface are confirmed through
hardness comparison; the method comprises the following steps:
cutting a
copper-clad aluminum sample to obtain a first sample which contains a composite interface and has a regular shape, testing to obtain the resistance of the first sample, obtaining a first
mathematical relationship according to a resistance superposition model,
cutting the first sample into a second sample with equal length, and weighing to obtain a second
mathematical relationship according to a
mass superposition model; and obtaining the thickness of the
intermetallic compound according to the two mathematical relationships. According to the method, the characteristic that the electrical property of the intermetallic compound is poor is utilized, the electrical property of the
composite material is tested, the electrical property difference between the
composite material and pure
metal is compared, the proportion of the intermetallic compound is quantitatively given through joint calculation, and the thickness of the intermetallic compound can be rapidly measured.
