Topic: Manufacturing Processes
In metal diffusion bonding, which are the process variables?
- A. Pressure and temperature
- B. Pressure and Time
- C. Pressure, temperature and time
- D. Temperature and time
Answer: C. Pressure, temperature and time
Explanation: Diffusion bonding is a solid-state joining process that relies on the solid-state diffusion of atoms across the interface of the materials being joined. The primary process variables that govern this atom movement and interface coalescence are the applied Pressure, the elevated Temperature, and the holding Time.
