Let’s talk about diffusion bonding
Do you want more information about this topic? You’re at the right place, because we are going to talk about diffusion bonding, (sometimes also called welding) in this article.
diffusion bonding / welding is a technique where its point is to weld the metal in the process. Through this technique, combining two kinds of metals is achievable, because of state diffusion, also called as the principle of solid. A fifty to seventy percent, it cannot be more or less, of melting temperature is needed in the diffusion bonding process. This is caused to create movement of atoms or molecules from high concentration region to low concentration region. Once it is reached, materials will then experience high pressure to continue the process.
diffusion bonding is mostly used in nuclear industries. Also, it is used in aerospace, although its technique is about centuries in age which was used to join gold and copper together to produce jewelries. It was only in 1953 that it was described modernly by a Soviet scientist. Let’s dive deeper into this topic, we will talk about the highlights and challenges today.
What exactly are the highlights and challenges of diffusion bonding?
The highlights of diffusion bonding are:
- The materials that are schedule to bond are from the similar body and mechanic characteristic as it is the base of the materials. The surface that are already bonded can simply be examined through tensile testing.
- The combination that are made through this process are simply neat with qualities that are so high
- Because it has such high tolerance in dimensions, this process can easily be used to make the most accurate shapes that are so complex
- Not to mention, the running cost of this process are quite inexpensive and the whole procedure is very easy
- You may reduce plastic deformation through this process
And then, the challenges of diffusion bonding are:
- The set-up cost of the process might be quite expensive
- This process can be taking more time than other welding techniques
- The current available equipment of this process might limit the proportion of what you want to weld
- This process is not suitable for assembly line productions
