The Role of Surface Contaminants in the Solid-State Welding of Metals

  • Chapter
Treatise on Clean Surface Technology

Abstract

Although no unified theory of solid state welding has been developed, the generally agreed upon requisite for producing a solid state weld is that metallic surfaces must be brought sufficiently close together that short-range interatomic attractive forces operate. In general, this involves both (1) intimate mating of surfaces and (2) removal of surface barriers to atomic bonding.
