Diffusion Bonding of Discontinuously Reinforced SiC/Al Matrix Composites: The Role of Interlayers

New approaches for transient liquid phase diffusion bonding of aluminium based metal matrix composites

“…2. The assembled specimen, including the interlayer, was inserted in a steel ring and two steel platens acted as plungers to apply the pressure required for bonding (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). An rf induction coil was used to heat up the steel platens which conducted the heat to the specimen.…”

Capillary filling process during ultrasonically brazing of aluminium matrix composites

“…1,2 In recent years, aluminium matrix composites have been joined to achieve the manufacture of complex structures by soldering, 3 brazing, 4-8 diffusion bonding [9][10][11][12][13][14] and liquid phase diffusion bonding. [15][16][17][18][19][20] In these methods, the ultrasonically soldering 3 and ultrasonically brazing 4 have also been used to bond aluminium matrix composites.…”

Investigation on diffusion bonding characteristics of aluminum metal matrix composites (Al/SiCp) with pure aluminum for different heat treatments

“…Investigations have shown that it is possible to join SiCpreinforced aluminum metal matrix composites (A/SiC MMC) by diffusion bonding methods [5][6][7][8], friction welding processes [9,10]. In regard to the diffusion bonding of discontinuously reinforced aluminum MMCs, on the surface of composite specimen alumina barrier, which would make diffusion bonding process more difficult exists [1].…”
