Investigations on Effect of Diffusion Bonding Process Parameters on AA2219/Ti-2.5Sn-5Al Alloys Dissimilar Joints Using Response Surface Methodology
摘要
The study focuses on optimizing process variables, including Bonding Temperature (BT), Holding Time (HT) and Bonding pressure (BP) for the diffusion bonding of AA2219/Ti-2.5Sn-5Al dissimilar alloy joints. A reliable mathematical model was developed to estimate interfacial hardness and lap-shear strength in diffusion-bonded Al/Ti joints using a response surface methodology (RSM) in Box-Behnken design (BBD) method. Optimal bonding conditions of 544 °C, 15 MPa, and 59 min resulted in an interfacial hardness of 139 HV1 and a lap shear strength of 48.9 MPa. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) identified bonding temperature as the most influential factor affecting both responses. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed a defect-free interface without cavities or cracks, ensuring bonding integrity. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of RSM in optimizing DB for dissimilar metals and achieving high-quality joints.
