DIFFUSION BONDING

摘要

A method of forming a part that includes a first component and a second component diffusion bonded together. The first component is a pressure component, including a first bond land surface. The second component is a suction component, including a second bond land surface. A mandrel includes a first surface having a contour that mates with at least a portion of the first component and a second surface having a contour that mates with at least a portion of the second component. The first and second components are positioned on the mandrel so that the first bond land surface and the second bond land surface are in mating abutment The first and second components together with the mandrel are positioned in a die assembly. The die assembly including a first die, a second die and a plurality of fastening members for releasably securing the first die to the second die.
