Preliminary study of improving the speed and cost of diffusion bonding of metal sheets
Details the development of Affordable Diffusion Bonding process, as in their patent GB TG48039. This is pioneering work, and a first in making a diffusion bond in less that a minute. Covers advanced computational and experimental work making this possible. The process has been further developed and successfully joining micro machined parts, allowing accurate tolerances. Manufacturing highly complex micro-components and new structured materials with high integrity, for aero-engines, at reduced cost. We have worked collaboratively with United Technologies HS Marston Aerospace and diffusion bonded parts are now being trialed on Airbus A380: Adam Amadeo Tel:01902-572671 - Director Engineering
