FUNDAMENTALS OF SOLID STATE WELDING AND THEIR APPLICATION TO BERYLLIUM, ALUMINUM, AND STAINLESS STEEL
Abstract
This report presents the results of a state-of-the-art survey of solid state diffusion welding and roll welding of aerospace metals. Particular emphasis is given to Be, high-strength Al alloys, and Type 321 stainless steel. The report is divided into four major categories: (1) a general survey of solid- state diffusion welding, including a description of a real surface, factors influencing microscopic plastic flow, diffusion, grain growth, dissimilar metal welding, and use of intermediate materials; (2) a description of solid state welding methods, including roll welding, roll-welding theory, advantages and limitations of welding methods, and joint designs that are suitable for diffusion welding and roll welding; (3) nondestructive testing techniques for solid state welded joints and their applicability; (4) a survey of similar and dissimilar metal diffusion welding. On the basis of the information obtained, general areas in which future research is desirable are presented.
