Abstract
In order to make a solid-phase weld between two pieces of metal, it is necessary to bring their clean surfaces sufficiently close together for a metallic bond to be formed between them. There are a number of techniques for accomplishing this end, but the essential operation in all cases is to press the two parts together either hot or cold, deforming the surfaces sufficiently to ensure partial or complete contact, and to expose fresh, unfilmed metal. Important factors which enter into the mechanics and metallurgy of this process are surface deformation, the dispersal of surface films, diffusion and re crystallisation. These factors will be discussed separately below.
