The bonding mechanism and bond strength were investigated for the cold pressure welding of Al to Al, Cu to Cu and Al to Cu by upsetting. A phenomenon of bonding betweenthe metallic components has been observed by a scanning electron microscope and metallurgical microscope. A modified equation for bond strength with respect to the reduction of height shows reasonably a good agreement with the experimental data. When the values of the hardening factor and threshold deformation for the given materials could be determined, the theoretical bond strength can be calculated.
