procedures involved in
constructing the diffusion bonding windows such as temperaturetime and pressuretime diagrams for
effective
diffusion bonding of aluminium alloy and magnesium
alloys. Empirical relationships were developed to predict
the lap shear strength of diffusion bonded joints of
aluminium (Al) alloy (AA6061) and magnesium (Mg)
alloys (AZ31B, AZ61A, AZ80), incorporating diffusion
bonding parameters such as bonding temperature, bonding pressure, holding time and surface
roughness of the
materials to be joined. Response surface methodology
was applied to optimise the diffusion bonding parameters
to attain the maximum shear strength of the joint. Relationship was established between weight

used as reference maps to the design and welding engineers for selecting appropriate diffusion bonding
parameters to get good quality bonds for Al and Mg alloys.
