Summary of the diffusion couples made in [11].

Workpiece material Tool material Pressure Dwell time (min) Temperature (°C) Notable outcome Characterisation included in this paper.
Ti-64 H13A ∼0 pressure 120 800, 1000, 1200 Only the 1000 °C sample formed a diffusion bond, showing a complex intermediate layer with small voids in the adjacent Co layer. SEM and X-EDS for the 1000 °C sample
Ti-5553 H13A ∼0 pressure 120 800, 1000, 1200 The experiment was highly unreliable with poor bonding in most samples. None
Ti-5553 H13A 35 MPa 120 1000 Voids and cavities <1 μm were present in the probable eta-phase binder. SEM and X-EDS
Ti-64 H13A 850 MPa 120 800, 1000, 1200 At 1200 °C and 1000 °C, voids were found in the bcc-W layer. The 800 °C sample had a poor diffusion bond. SEM and X-EDS for the 1200 °C sample.
Ti-5553 H13A 850 MPa 120 800, 1000, 1200 At 1200 °C, voids <0.1 μm were observed in the bcc-W layer. The 1000 °C sample had cracks and no pronounced diffusion bond. The 800 °C sample had a poor diffusion bond. None
Ti-64 H13A 2.5 GPa 10 1200 Voids <0.5μm were observed along the interface in the probable eta-phase binder. SEM
