The interface structure of Be/HR-1 stainless steel (SS) joint following diffusion bonding was investigated. Metallurgical observation, electron scanning microscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning Auger microspectroscopy were performed for basic evaluation of bonded joints. There are intermetallic compounds such as Be11Fe and Be12Cr in the interface region of Be/SS joints, which drastically reduce the mechanical strength of the joints. Cu, Ag and Al barriers can block effective inter-diffusion of Be and HR-1 stainless steel, then forming brittle phases.
