ժҪ Diffusion bonding is a near net shape forming process that can join dissimilar materials through atomic diffusion under a high pressure at a high temperature. Titanium alloy TC4 (Ti-6Al-4V) and 4J29 Kovar alloy (Fe-29Ni-17Co) were diffusely bonded by a vacuum hot-press sintering process in the temperature range of 700-850��C and bonding time of 120 min, under a pressure of 34��66 MPa. Interfacial microstructures and intermetallic compounds of the diffusion-bonded joints were characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).The elemental diffusion across the interface was revealed by electron probe microanalysis. Mechanical properties of joints were investigated by micro Vickers hardness and tensile strength. Results of EDS and XRD indicated that (Fe, Co, Ni)-Ti, TiNi, Ti2Ni, TiNi2, Fe2Ti, Ti17Mn3 and Al6Ti19 were formed at the interface. When the bonding temperature was raised from 700 to 850��C, the voids of interface were reduced and intermetallic layers were widened. Maximum tensile strength of joints at 53��5 MPa was recorded by the sintering process at 850��C for 120 min. Fracture surface of the joint indicated brittle nature, and failure took place through interface of intermetallic compounds. Based on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the diffusion-bonded joints, diffusion mechanisms between Ti-6Al-4V titanium and Fe-29Ni-17Co Kovar alloys were analyzed in terms of elemental diffusion, nucleation and growth of grains, plastic deformation and formation of intermetallic compounds near the interface.
