Abstract

In diffusion bonding, two metal surfaces are brought together into contact at increased temperatures under stress for a particular period of time. In the current investigation, Aluminium Alloy 7075 and Magnesium Alloy AZ80 combination joints were subjected to diffusion bonding and exploration were done on the impacts of holding time, welding temperature and pressure on the mechanical and metallurgical properties. This work is conducted to obtain better understanding and characterization of the diffusion bonding of similar and dissimilar metals. Lap Shear tests are to be conducted. It also aimed to obtain optimum parameters for diffusion bonding of aluminium alloy and magnesium alloy. Furthermore, the morphologies of interface were inspected by Optical Microscopy (OM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
