Joining mechanism of field-assisted diffusion bonding of solid electrolyte ceramic to metals

Field assisted diffusion bonding applied in the joining of solid electrolyte borosilicate glass, β ″ Al 2O 3, Y 2O ZrO 2 to monocrystal silicate and aluminum were proceeded with bonding machine in the assistance of static electric field. TEM, SEM, XRD and other means were applied to investigate and analyze microstructure of interface. It is supposed that the interfacial area is a model of metal oxides ceramic, and the joining mechanism is solid diffusion joining and static electric bonding. The process of ions migration and accumulation under electric field is the most essential factor for the anodic oxidation and interfacial joining. Temperature and voltage are the basic factors of the solid diffusion bonding of interfacial oxidation. And voltage, temperature, pressure and the condition of surface are the most important factors that govern the bonding process.
