For diffusion bonding within the superplastic regime, temperature and pressure have little effect on the kinetics of bonding. However, variations in the absolute scale of the surface roughness, through the effect of surface tension, have a substantial effect on the bonding time. Discrepancies between the measured and predicted bonding times for Ti6Al4V suggest that the reduction of the long-range waviness of the surfaces plays as significant a part in the bonding process as does the closure of the short wavelength roughness.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100890,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0025-5416(88)90249-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77783260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
