One comes across this problem while selecting connectors in equipement terminal made of cu and connector is made of Al. One is not sure if one needs to use some bimeatalic plate in this case and why its not recommended to connect Cu with Al in this case. What would be the impacts??
The success of a copper to aluminum connection depends upon the amount of current involved, but copper to copper is a better connection than copper to aluminum.
Copper is a good conductor of electric current and so is aluminum but the resistivity of the two metals differ and could result in differential heating to distort the metal connectors in high ampere or voltage.Other than this there will be no difference if one connects copper to aluminum.

Why are copper wires used in as connecting wires?
The copper wires used connect. Because conductivity of Cooper higher than aluminium but price of Cooper higher than aluminum. If compare between copper and aluminium cable can see at the same current rate diameter of aluminium cable is larger than copper cable.
What is an aluminium bronze?
An aluminium bronze is an alloy of copper containing 5 percent to 10 percent aluminium.
What is aluminum and copper's reaction?
Nothing, they simply form a mixture in molten state. A mixture of 10% Aluminium in copper is Aluminium bronze.
What alloy does aluminum iron and copper make?
There are some "aluminium bronze" alloys which contain aluminium copper with a small amount of iron and other metals- these are mainly copper with 4-8% aluminium and ess than 1% of other metals.
What is the weight of aluminum conductor as compared to a copper conductor?
Aluminium weighs less than copper for the given volume

Is copper denser than aluminium?
Stainless steel is heavier then aluminium.
Is romex pure copper?
Copper or aluminium.
Does copper have aluminum?
Pure copper hasn't aluminium.
Is copper or aluminium a good conductor of electricity?
copper
What is the effect of copper and aluminium since they metals?
copper and aluminium are metals since their metals the effect is that their good conductors
What is the body of aeroplane made of?
An aeroplane body is made up of an alloy (meaning: mixture of metals) of aluminium and copper. This is as aluminium is very light and cheap, but it needs copper as aluminium is too brittle. This way the plane have a weight of aluminium but the felexibility of copper!
What is the properties and is uses of copper aluminium iron and steel?
copper aluminium iron and steel is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat is one of the properties of copper aluminium iron and steel and it is used in conducting electricity.
Does copper or aluminum rust faster?
Neither rust. Only iron rusts. However, copper and aluminium both oxidise. Aluminium oxidises extremely quickly. It you cut a piece of aluminium in the air, it immediately oxidises. The surface that you see/feel for aluminium is actually aluminium oxide. (Al2O3). The surface of aluminium pots and pans in the kitchen is actually aluminium oxide. . Aluminium oxide is impervious to further oxidation and so the aluminium underneath remains as aluminium . Copper on the other hand is a much slower oxidiser. The brown/red colour of copper metal will slowly tarnish (oxidise) over a period of days and weeks, to become a dull colour and if left for a longer time , may go black as copper oxide, or green as copper carbonate.
What elements are in Cuznal?
Copper Zinc and Aluminium It's a word out of the symbols Cu (Copper) Zn (Zinc) & Aluminium (Al)
How can aluminum sulphate dissolve copper?
the aluminium is split with the sulphate ion. this leaves the sulphate on its own with a charge. the copper then takes the place of the aluminium turning the charge of the sulphate ion to neutral, this leaves the aluminium and copper sulphate.
What is an aluminium bronze?
An aluminium bronze is an alloy of copper containing 5 percent to 10 percent aluminium.
