Diffusion Bonding of Silver-Graphite-Copper Composites in Different Atmospheres

Linsea Paradis

The benefits of the powder metal industry are growing, and research is very important in this field. This research project investigates the use of diffusion bonding for a press-and-sinter of silver-graphite-copper. By being able to diffuse copper with silver, copper and be used as a partial substitute to decrease materials cost. The process of diffusion has many affecting parameters, such as temperature, sintering time, atmospheric conditions, and the use of a correct inter layer material/composition.
