LAMINATING AND JOINING DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE:To efficiently laminate and join >=3 sheets of plate materials without applying a high temp. and large strains to these materials at the time of joining by simultaneously activating a part or the whole of the surfaces to be joined of the plate materials, then bringing the surfaces to be joined into contact with each other. CONSTITUTION:The materials 1 to be joined are first set at jigs 2 in a vacuum vessel and the arrangement and direction of the jigs 2 and vapor deposition sources 3 are adjusted to such positions where the angle formed by the normal direction of the surfaces to be joined and the incident direction from two pieces of the vapor deposition sources 3 to the surfaces to be joined attains 45 deg.. Next, the inside of the vacuum vessel is evacuated and vapor deposited films of aluminum are adhered on the joint surfaces of the materials to be joined by using the vapor deposition sources 3. The spacings of the jigs 2 are thereafter widened without exposing the materials to be joined to the atm. and simultaneously, a heating and pressurizing block 5 is lowered by using a pressurizing shaft 4. The materials l to be joined slip down on the inner side of the jigs 2 or are pressed to the pressurizing and heating block 5, by which the materials are heated and pressurized. Since the vapor deposited films of the active aluminum are formed on the joint surfaces, the surfaces to be joined come into tight contact with each other and attain metal to metal bond.
