Connection technique of copper and aluminum is a key challenge in refrigeration industry. In this paper, rotary swaging connection process is proposed to connect cooper tube and aluminum tube in physical way. We find the length of overlapped area has a great effect on the joint reliability, and it should exceed the deformation region length. The joint strength is approximately determined by necking. With the reduction of the diameter at the necking area, joint strength first increases and then decreases. Some experiments are carried out to test the joining strength. It is shown that the joints are reliable enough, and joining by rotary swaging method is effective to combine copper and aluminum tubes.
