Abstract

Inadvertent diffusion bonding of workpieces during heat treatment, although relatively well understood, remains a troublesome phenomenon. Metallurgical failure analysts are often called upon to investigate material damages due to heat-treatment damage, including unintentional bonding. Failure analysis investigations of diffusion bonding, which were originally misdiagnosed as being due to other phenomena, are presented in this paper for illustration.
