Method of bonding a composite body to a metallic element

摘要

A method is disclosed for forming a composite body which comprises bonding a moderately deformable metallic element to at least a portion of at least one major surface and to an associated portion of the edge surface of a solid ion-conductive electrolyte material element which contains mobile ions of a metal different from the metallic element. A method is disclosed for bonding a composite body to a deformable metallic casing which comprises pressing the sharp edge at the open end of the casing against the composite body while employing an inert atmosphere, elevated temperature and pressure.
