COLD WELDING. PART 1: CHARACTERISTICS, BONDING MECHANISMS, BOND STRENGTH

In this first of three articles, the Author (of the Technical University of Denmark) gives general information on cold pressure welding and discusses its complicated bonding mechanisms and basic bonding parameters. These bonding problems have been the subject of much research in different countries over the past 30 years. A theoretical model for bond strength, proposed by the Author and believed to be the first quantitative theory expressing the presence and size of the threshold surface expansion, is presented. The model should also be applicable to deformation bonding at high temperatures if there is no diffusion. A diagram is included showing the combinations of two metals that can be successfully cold welded. See next two Abstracts.
