TWI has developed a proprietary technique that enables the successful diffusion bonding of aluminium with the ability to achieve joint strengths comparable to the heat-treated parent material, for previously investigated grades. The technique produces an autogenous joint as no interlayers or melting point suppressants are required.

A research programme has been launched to investigate the application of the technique to different aluminium alloys and other materials.
