Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop an empirical relationship for predicting the strength of titanium to austenitic stainless steel fabricated by diffusion bonding (DB) process. Process parameters such as bonding pressure, bonding temperature and holding time play the main role in deciding the joint strength. Design/methodology/approach In this study, three-factors, five-level central composite rotatable design was used to conduct the minimum number of experiments involving all the combinations of parameters. Findings An empirical relationship was developed to predict the lap shear strength (LSS) of the joints incorporating DB process parameters. The developed empirical relationship was optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO). The optimized value discovered through PSO was compared with the response surface methodology (RSM). The joints produced using bonding pressure of 14 MPa, bonding temperature of 900°C and holding time of 70 min exhibited a maximum LSS of 150.51 MPa in comparison with other joints. This was confirmed by constructing response graphs and contour plots. Originality/value Optimizing the DB parameters using RSM and PSO, PSO gives an accurate result when compared with RSM. Also, a sensitivity analysis is carried out to identify the most influencing parameter for the DB process.

Process Factors

The diffusion bonding (DB) method is used in this investigation to connect high-temperature dissimilar materials. The existence of difficult-to-remove oxide coatings on the titanium surfaces, as well as the arrangement of breakable metallic interlayers and oxide enclosures inside the bond region, provides the most significant challenges during the transition from AISI304 to Ti-6Al-4V alloying. In addition, an effort was made to advance DB processing maps for the operational connection of Ti-6Al-4V to AISI304 alloys to improve their performance. Joints had been created by combining several process factors, such as bonding temperature (T), bonding pressure (P), and holding time (t), to create diverse designs. Based on the findings, database processing maps were created. This set of processing maps may be used as a rough guideline for selecting appropriate DB process parameters for generating virtuous excellent bonds between Ti-6Al-4V and AISI304 alloys. The maximum lap shear strength (LSS) was achieved at 800°C, 15 MPa, and 45 min.

This paper focused to determine optimal bonding parameters based on Taguchi method for maximizing bonding strength. The experiments were conducted on diffusion bonding machine using aluminium fly ash (AFA) composites. Three bonding parameters such as temperature, pressure and time, each at three levels were examined. Taguchi L27 orthogonal array was used as a design of experiment. The response table and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) were calculated to determine which process parameters significantly affect the bonding strength and also the % contribution of each parameter. The results show that the combination of factors and their levels of A2B3C3 i.e. the bonding done at a temperature of 475°C with a pressure of 10 MPa and time for 20 minutes yielded the optimum i.e. maximum bonding strength. Finally, ANOVA results indicated that all three process parameters significantly affected the bonding strength with a maximum contribution from the bonding temperature (85.93%), followed by bonding time (12.6%) and bonding pressure (1.48%). It is also observed that the bonding strength of the diffusion bonding process can be improved effectively through this approach.

Deformation Ratio

Due to the acceptable high-temperature deformation resistance of Inconel 718, its welding parameters such as bonding temperature and pressure are inevitably higher than those of general metals. As a result of the existing punitive processing environment, it is essential to control the deformation of parts while ensuring the bonding performance. In this research, diffusion bonding experiments based on the Taguchi method (TM) are conducted, and the uniaxial tensile strength and deformation ratio of the experimental joints are measured. According to experimental data, a deep neural network (DNN) was trained to characterize the nonlinear relationship between the diffusion bonding process parameters and the diffusion bonding strength and deformation ratio, where the overall correlation coefficient came out to be 0.99913. The double-factors analysis of bonding temperature–bonding pressure based on the prediction results of the DNN shows that the temperature increment of the diffusion bonding of Inconel 718 significantly increases the deformation ratio of the diffusion bonding joints. Therefore, during the multi-objective optimization of the bonding performance and deformation of components, priority should be given to optimizing the bonding pressure and duration only.

Press Bonding

The press bonding experiments of Ti-17 alloy were conducted at the bonding temperatures ranging from 730°C to 880°C, a bonding pressure of 20 MPa and a bonding time of 15 min. The results show that the plastic deformation is a main bonding mechanism in the press bonding of Ti-17 alloy. With an increase in bonding temperature, the plastic deformation enhances and voids in the bonding interface disappear gradually. The grain boundary migration and grain growth spanning the bonding interface start to activate, which is of benefit to obtaining a sound bond. The failure mode of bonding interface changes from a brittle fracture to a ductile fracture. However, a higher bonding temperature will induce grain coarsening which result in strength decreasing. The SEM of lap shear fracture surfaces indicates that a bond with superior strength can be obtained at a bonding temperature of 860°C.

Multifilamentary Tapes

To improve the joining efficiency of Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O ( BSCCO) superconducting tapes, a new diffusion bonding technology with a direct uniaxial pressing at high temperature was developed to join 61-filament tapes. It was observed that bonding parameters such as bonding pressure and holding time, significantly affected the critical current ratio (CCRo). A peak CCRo value of 89 % for the lap-joined tapes was achieved at 3 MPa for 2 h when bonding temperature was 800 °C. Compared with the conventional diffusion bonding technology, this new technology remarkably shortened the fabrication period and improved the superconductivity of the joints. The bonding interface and microstructures of the joints were evaluated and correlated to the CCRo. An uniaxial pressing at high temperature was beneficial to interface bonding, and there was an optimal pressure value for the CCRo.

The diffusion bonding of 7075, 6061 and 5083 aluminium alloys to AZ31B magnesium was investigated using copper interlayer. An optical microscope along with scanning electron microscopes, equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometry/electron probe microanalysis, was utilized to characterize the microstructure of the joint. The mechanical properties of the joint were also assessed by micro-hardness and shear strength tests. The results indicate the high effect of temperature on the bonding results; so that, with a small change in temperature, severe changes were observed in the bonding results. A temperature range of 475°C–485°C and a minimum duration of 30 min with a low bonding pressure of 0.4 MPa were identified as advisable process conditions. The joint evaluation revealed the formation of CuAl2, Cu9Al4 and Al-Mg-Cu ternary phases on the aluminium-copper side, as well as Cu2Mg, CuMg2 and Al-Mg-Cu ternary phases on the magnesium-copper side in the reaction layer. When increasing the bonding temperature and duration, the amount of intermetallic compounds and, as a result, the mechanical properties of the joints changed. The highest shear strength and micro-hardness, related to the bonding performed at 480°C and holding time of 45 min, were 31.03 MPa and 167 HV, respectively.

SSM 356-T6 aluminium alloys generally present low weldability by fusion methods because of the sensitivity to weld solidification cracking, porosities, change microstructure in weld zone and other defects in the fusion zone. Diffusion bonding can be deployed successfully with aluminium alloys. This paper presents the technique to conserve the globular weld structure of SSM 356-T6 aluminium alloy. The effect of joining parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of diffusion bonding butt joints of semi-solid metal 356-T6 aluminium alloy were investigated by conditions as follows: contact pressure at 0.4, 0.9, 1.8, 2.4 and 2.7 MPa, for 3 hours holding time and temperature at 495°C under argon atmosphere at 4 liters per minute. The results showed that condition used contact pressure 2.4 MPa, with 3 hours holding time and temperature at 495°C, under argon atmosphere provided. The highest joint strength reaching to 182.2 MPa, which had joint efficiency of 61.34 percents compared with base material. In addition, microstructure in welded zone after welding is still in globular structure, but the grain size was increased when the higher bonding temperature was used. The results of this investigation have shown that an average hardness is around 121.2 HV.

Direct diffusion bonding of 316L stainless steel was performed at 850-1100°C for 1-3 h under a pressure of 10MPa in this study. The effect of bonding temperature and holding time on mechanical performances of the joints was investigated. Tensile tests were conducted to evaluate strength and elongation of the joints at room temperature and elevated temperature of 550°C. The microstructure and fracture surfaces of the joints were examined by optical microscope (OM) and scanning electronic microscope (SEM). The results indicated that the elongation of the joints increased with the increase of bonding temperature and holding time. However, overlong holding time had a side effect on the strength of the joint. Moreover, the change of the mechanical properties was closely related to the variation of the microstructure of the joints. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that FeCr and Fe0.64Ni0.36 were formed at the DB6 joint during bonding process. It is suggested that FeCr should be detrimental to the improvement of high temperature strength of the joint.
