Abstract
A method for the joining of material including metal and non-metals employing foil positioned between as well as structures produced thereby is provided. Such a method may employ thermal plasma as a means to produce the heat necessary for such joining methods. The method may also entail the treating of surfaces of objects by the positioning of materials, including foil, on a surface and subsequent application of thermal plasma.
Claims9
A method for the rapid thermal joining of metallic or non-metallic objects in a non-vacuum environment comprising generating a thermal plasma through the heating of a gaseous flow, placing a joining material between the objects, applying the thermal plasma at an average temperature of over 1100° C. to the objects and the joining material whereby the joining material experiences a rapid heat-up wherein the objects are joined together.
