Abstract

The use of diffusion bonding for the joining of steel is not widespread due partly to the large number of alternative welding processes and partly to a lack of information on mechanical properties of the resultant bonds. In this paper, data are provided on both tensile and impact properties of diffusion bonds in a plain carbon steel containing 0.4 % C. Several hypotheses are proposed for the observed low impact properties and one of these, the presence of a planar layer of ferrite at the bond line, is discounted.
