Abstract
Diffusion bonding is a solid-state bonding process. The metal components being joined undergo only microscopic deformation, and the joining region is homogeneous—without secondary materials or liquid phases. This chapter investigates diffusion bonding of titanium, steel and copper alloys used in the fabrication of several aerospace components with various complex configurations. The result shows that the diffusion-bonding method can be successfully used with blow forming to form near-net-shape aerospace components, including high-pressure tanks for attitude control of spacecraft, a combustion chamber with copper cooling channels and lightweight structural panels.
