Abstract
The present study reports on the preparation of diffusion joint of Al 2024 sheets with and without hematite interlayer. Parameters like holding time, temperature and pressure were considered for producing the joint. Samples were prepared at a temperature of 400 °C while varying load (90 and 110 kN). The time duration of applying load was selected as 25 and 35 min. Microstructural characterization using scanning electron microscopy was carried out for analyzing microstructure of the joint. EDS spectrum was used to analyze the elemental composition of the joint. Hardness tests were employed to find the micro-hardness of the prepared joint using Vickers hardness tester.
