Abstract
A new method of diffusion bonding(named as Melting Induced Diffusion Bonding) which aimed to make better Transient Liquid Phase(TLP) bonding was developed and applied to the bonding of 304/304 stainless steel. On a new method, boron layer was used as a insert material and its melting point is higher than that of the base metal, therefore insert doesn`t melt during bonding, which is different from TLP bonding and brazing. Base metal is bonded by melting of base metal itself which is caused by the reaction of base metal with boron during bonding. By applying a new bonding method to 304 stainless steel, we obtained 421㎫ tensile strength and 17% elongation of the bonded joint.
