Diffusion bonding

Overview

Diffusion bonding is a solid state welding process whereby two metals are brought together in the presence of heat and pressure to form a joint. Application of heat and pressure provides the intimate contact required for atoms to migrate across the joint resulting in very high joint efficiencies.

Advantages

• High joint efficiencies
• Joining dissimilar metals is possible
• Consistent process

Used on

• Engine inner fixed structure
• Engine exhausts
• Engine bay panels
