A Review on Diffusion Bonding between Titanium Alloys and Stainless Steels by De-feng Mo, Ting-feng Song, Yong-jian Fang, Xiao-song Jiang, Charles Q. Luo, Machael D. Simpson, Zhi-ping Luo

“…Application of multi-interlayer well prevents the formation of intermetallic phases by forming solid solution at the interface, and parameters can be predicted by using a parabolic diffusion law. The selection of multi-interlayer was done based on two principles: no formation of brittle intermetallic phases and transitional physical properties between titanium alloy and stainless steel.…”
