摘要:
A method of joining at least a portion of a first substrate with at least a portion of a second substrate. The first substrate includes at least 90 weight percent aluminum and a first set of additives wherein magnesium is the dominant constituent in the additives. The second substrate includes at least 85 weight percent magnesium and a second set of additives wherein aluminum is the dominant constituent of the second set of additives. The first and second substrates are heated to an elevated temperature ranging from about 440° C. to 500° C. Pressure is applied to the first and second substrates at least at one point of contact to bond the first and second substrates together.

The present invention relates to an improved method for joining metals or alloys together. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method comprising the laser alloying of a first metal/alloy piece so that it can be joined with a second metal/alloy piece of a nonidentical composition.
摘要:
A process of bonding metal parts to one another to form seamless, hollow metal articles, particularly made from beryllium. Tooling is assembled to the parts, prior to hot pressing, to cause pressure to be applied to selective portions of the parts. The parts, assembled together with the tooling, are then subjected to hot isostatic pressing at a temperature of about 1700° F. to 1750° F., and at a pressure of about 2000 psi to 2500 psi, for around 3 hours. The tooling surrounding the metal parts functions to limit the amount of compression of the parts. Articles formed by this process are particularly useful in space flight applications because they are formed of a homogeneous material. Strength of the bond is enhanced because no filler metal is used. The absence of a filler metal also eliminates any thermal stress problems as a result of differences in coefficients of thermal expansion.

摘要:
Deterioration and damage to insulator materials in an interconnection structure having vertical connections due to exposure to heat during bonding of lamina is avoided by performing diffusion bonding of metal pads at plated through holes (PTH) at temperatures below the melting points of conductive material in the bond. Diffusion bonding is achieved during time periods required for processing (e.g. curing or drying) of insulating materials in the laminated structure.

A terminal pressure-welding apparatus is provided, which includes: a first pattern; a second pattern facing the first pattern, one of the first and second patterns is provided approachably and disapproachably with respect to the other thereof; a mounting portion to mount the other of the first and second patterns; a displacing member carrying the one of the first and second patterns and being movable relatively to the other of the first and second patterns; and a stopping means to check an abutment of the first pattern and the second pattern, wherein a terminal metal fitting and an end portion of an electric wire are placed between the first and second patterns, and the terminal metal fitting and the end portion are pressure-welded by making the first and second patterns approach each other. The stopping means has a projecting portion projecting from the mounting portion toward the displacing member in order to abut against an end plane of the displacing member thereby to check the abutment of the first and second patterns. The projecting portion has an abutting plane to abut against the end plane, an adjusting means of a distance between the abutting plane and the mounting portion, and a fixing means to secure the projecting portion to the mounting portion for keeping the distance.
摘要:
A superplastically formed, diffusion bonded sandwich structure having integral metal hardpoints, made by joining two superplastic metal core sheets together into a core pack by welding or diffusion bonding along a pattern of lines which form junction lines between the core sheets when the pack is inflated by gas pressure at superplastic temperatures. Face sheets are laid under and over the core pack and metal inserts are interposed between the face sheets and the core. All of the sheets in the pack are sealed together around an outside peripheral edge to create a gas tight envelope. The pack is heated to superplastic temperatures in a cavity in a die, and the top and bottom face sheets are diffusion bonded to top and bottom surfaces of the metal insert by application of heat and pressure from top and bottom inner surfaces of the die cavity. While at superplastic temperatures, the pack is inflated by gas pressure against inside surfaces of a die to form an expanded metal sandwich structure having integral webs and integral hardpoints formed by the metal insert. After forming, the gas pressure is reduced to near atmospheric, the die is opened and the part is removed from the die.

The wire bonding machine may also include a bonding tool attached to the bond head and a carrier for supporting the leadframe strip under the bonding tool. The first positioning table is moveable for substantially the entire length of the leadframe strip to allow the bonding tool to be successively moved over each semiconductor die on the leadframe strip.
摘要:
A sputter target assembly including a high purity copper sputter target diffusion bonded to a backing plate, preferably composed of either aluminum, aluminum alloy, aluminum matrix composite materials, copper, or copper alloy, and a Ni-alloy interlayer, preferably composed of Ni—V, Ni—Ti, Ni—Cr, or Ni—Si, located between and joining the target and backing plate, and a method for making the assembly. The method of making involves depositing (e.g., electroplating, sputtering, plasma spraying) the interlayer on a mating surface of either the sputter target or backing plate and pressing, such as hot isostatically pressing, the sputter target and backing plate together along mating surfaces so as to form a diffusion bonded sputter target assembly.
