Joining Ti6Al4V to Alumina by Diffusion Bonding Using Titanium Interlayers

This work aims to investigate the joining of Ti6Al4V alloy to alumina by diffusion bonding using titanium interlayers: thin films (1 µm) and commercial titanium foils (5 µm). The Ti thin films were deposited by magnetron sputtering onto alumina. The joints were processed at 900, 950, and 1000 °C, dw...
