A method is used to bond dissimilar metals, such as for an x-ray tube. Copper and steel tubular components are provided. An interlayer material situated between the metal layers is used to bond the copper and steel tubular components by solid state diffusion process. The interlayer material may be pure nickel, pure copper, or a layered combination of nickel and copper or copper alloy. The use of the low cost interlayer material and the solid state diffusion process yields a strong bond between the dissimilar metals.
