<p>First and second components (2,4), which may be metallic components (2,4), are joined together in a process which comprises introducing a sinterable powder (20) between the components (2,4), the powder (20) being retained within a receptacle (16), displacing the component (4) towards the component (2) to compress the powder (20), and subsequently applying heat and pressure to the powder (20) to form a sintered bond.</p> |
