Description

Diffusion bonding is a low-heat welding process that bonds metals through diffusion of atoms.

Overview of Process

Diffusion bonding is a welding process designed to be performed under pressure and low temperature (relative to other welding techniques). The metal pieces are heated to a temperature below their melting point, then pressed together for a long period of time. Over time, atoms diffuse into the joint and eventually fill in the gaps between the metal pieces, bonding them together.

Additional Notes

There are currently no additional notes for this process.
