HIGH VELOCITY METALLIC POWDER SPRAY FASTENING

摘要

The present invention provides a low temperature joining method that is compatible with multiple materials and results in a bond between joined structures without reducing the mechanical properties of the joined structures base materials. The method of the present invention includes the steps of contacting a first structure to a second structure; and directing particles of a metallic bonding material towards an interface between the first structure and second structure at a velocity to cause the particles of the metallic bonding material form a molecular fusion between the first structure and second structure.
