HIP'ing of copper alloys to stainless steel

Interfacial microstructure of CuCr/1Cr18Ni9Ti bi-metal materials and its effect on bonding strength

“…So far, welding is a common method to connect the dissimilar metal materials. At the same time, the connection methods such as explosive welding [8], friction welding [9], laser welding [10,11], diffusion bonding [12][13][14] and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) [15] have been employed. However, these methods might be either restrained since they usually cannot satisfy the exceptional shape and structure in some special situations or ineffective because the connection strength of the dissimilar metal materials is usually lower than the strength of any kind of metals.…”

Effect of irradiation temperature and dose on mechanical properties and fracture characteristics of Cu//SS joints for ITER

“…Joints of Cu//SS type will be widely used in ITER high-heat flux components like the divertor and first wall [1][2][3]. At present, two joining technologies, i.e.…”

In situ observation of interfacial fatigue crack growth in diffusion bonded joints of austenitic stainless steel

“…To provide the optimum bonding condition for hot isostatic pressing (HIP) bonded joints of 316LSS and DSCu, tensile and fatigue tests were conducted on the joints by Sato et al [11]. Marois et al [12] also discussed the joining of 316LSS to DSCu by HIP. The joint quality was assessed by tensile and fatigue testing at room temperature and 300°C.…”
