The Joining of Copper to Stainless Steel by Solid-State Welding Processes: A Review

“…It is essential to discover an optimal processing window for efficient welding of the dissimilar metals. Solid-state joining techniques avoid the fusion of both copper and stainless steel, which eventually reduces associated challenges due to microstructural differences and differences in physical properties [ 126 , 127 , 128 , 129 , 130 , 131 , 132 , 133 ]. This is why various solid-state joining methods are explored by researchers to join copper/stainless-steel.…”

“…Post heat treatment is not advisable to achieve the desired property requirements prescribed for ITER. On trying the other possibility, both processing temperature and pressure are brought down [ 127 ] using nickel interlayer along with the post-heat treatment to enhance atomic diffusion near the interfacial region. However, optimization of post heat-treatment conditions and the thickness of the intermediate layer need further thorough investigation.…”

Microstructure and mechanical properties of diffusion bonding joints of 42CrMo steel and tin bronze with nickel interlayer

“…The above researches show that, conventional fusion welding of copper alloys to steel has a series of problems such as difficult fusion on the copper side, thermal cracking and degradation of the properties of the base material. To eliminate the above-mentioned problems arising in fusion welding, solid state bonding technology is a great option [15][16][17]. Among them, diffusion bonding offers a range of advantages, including low heating temperature, uniform heating of welds, and easy assurance of dimensional accuracy of welds, making it the optimal method for dissimilar metal connection [18][19][20].…”
