Along the SS\/weld interface, there exist different grain sizes (from coarse columnar grains to fine equiaxed grains). The heat affected zone (HAZ) on the copper side consisted of two areas with different grain sizes and the size of the grain in the Cu-HAZ of the Ni-Cu-based filled joint was much smaller than that of the Ni-based filled joint. Our results showed that grain refinement at the copper\/weld (Cu\/weld) interface of the Ni-Cu-based filled joint was observed through high-resolution electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD). There was a hardness elevation at the Cu\/weld interface of the Ni-Cu-based filled joint due to the grain refinement on the weld of the copper side. The maximum tensile strength of the Ni-Cu-based filled joint was obtained and reached 91.2% of the tensile strength of the copper base metal (Cu-BM). Joints in this study were observed to fracture in a ductile mode. Furthermore, the Ni-Cu-based filled joint exhibited a higher plastic deformation, which was primarily caused by the large deformation of the weld zone and the large deformation of the Cu-BM due to the high plasticity of the weld, which alleviated the stress concentration, as indicated by 2D-digital image correlation (DIC) test results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma14092122","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,22]],"date-time":"2021-04-22T13:59:14Z","timestamp":1619099954000},"page":"2122","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Wire-Feeding Laser Welding of Copper\/Stainless Steel Using Different Filler Metals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Xiaoyan","family":"Gu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Automobile Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Jilin University, 2699 Qianjin St., Changchun 130025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9299-3633","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ziwei","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Automobile Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Jilin University, 2699 Qianjin St., Changchun 130025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaopeng","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Automobile Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Jilin University, 2699 Qianjin St., Changchun 130025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiaxu","family":"Shao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Automobile Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Jilin University, 2699 Qianjin St., Changchun 130025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmatprotec.2018.10.007","article-title":"Microstructures and mechanical properties of copper-stainless steel butt-welded joints by MIG-TIG double-sided arc welding","volume":"265","author":"Cheng","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
