The solid phase bonding of gold to metals

Historical and more fundamental aspects

Gold Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The relative ease with which gold can be welded to itself and to other metals at temperatures below its melting point has resulted in many applications of the solid phase bonding of this metal. In his discussion of the more fundamental aspects of such bonding, the author draws on information relating not only to its use by craftsmen in ancient times, but also to its more recent applications in industry.
