SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR JOINING DISSIMILAR MATERIALS AND SOLID-STATE INTERLOCKING JOINT WITH INTERMETALLIC INTERFACE FORMED THEREBY

摘要

A method for connecting two dissimilar materials having different melting points is described wherein a the materials are heated together to obtain plasticization of the lower melting point material within a prefigured geometry within a first material in such a way so as to form intermetallic features within a solid state joint.
