The casting compounding process for copper-steel composite material has broad prospects of application, but due to the lack of supporting theories (especially the bonding mechanism of copper-steel at high temperatures), it is developing slowly. In this research, copper-steel composite materials for different casting temperatures have been prepared by the casting compound process. The results show that, for the casting compound process, the stable copper-steel transition layer can be formed in a short time, and the bonding of copper and low carbon steel is the result of both the diffusion of Cu in low carbon steel and the dissolution of Fe in molten copper. The diffusion coefficient of Cu in the low carbon steel is mainly concentrated in the range of 4.0 × 10−15–8.0 × 10−14 m2/s. However, for casting compound process of copper-steel, as the temperature rises the thickness of the copper-steel transition layer gradually decreases, while the Fe content in the copper layer gradually increases. At the same time, the analysis of the glow discharge results shows that, during the solid-liquid composite process of copper-steel, the element C in steel has a great influence. As the temperature rises, the segregation of C intensifies seriously; the peak of the C content moves toward the copper side and its value is gradually increases. The segregation of C would reduce the melting point of the steel and cause irregular fluctuations of the diffusion of Cu in low carbon steel. Therefore, a relatively lower molten copper temperature is more conducive to the preparation of copper-steel composite materials.
