Abstract
The diffusion bonding of copper is studied experimentally and the results are compared with the predictions of a model of the bonding process. The dominant bonding mechanism is shown to be the power-law creep deformation of contacting surface asperities at high surface roughnesses. However, for smoother surfaces, diffusional mass transfer mechanisms become increasingly more important. © 1984 Chapman and Hall Ltd.
