This paper presents a diffusion bonding technology at vacuum using a high-boiling liquid
protection, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (C6H19O3). After washing in alcohol, the specimens were
immersed in diethylene glycol dimethyl ether. Before heating, the vacuum chamber was vacuumized
to about 10-1Pa. Then chamber was heated to about 80°C, and held for 20 minute to evaporate the
liquid protection in order to make the clean bonding surfaces contact. Metallographic observations of
the interface by optical microscope were carried out. The experimental results show that the
protections have successfully protected the bonding surfaces from re-oxidation prior to bonding. The
metallographs show that the vacancies at the bonding interface bonding at 560°C for 2 hours are
obvious and the materials at the interfaces of specimens bonded under the pressure of 5 MPa at 535°C
for 2 hours were well joined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
