Zusammenfassung:Gold has a low modulus and does not form an oxide skin when heated in the air. Added to this is its rapid self-diffusion characteristic and these three properties together make this metal suitable for joining gold to gold. This paper presents a summary of a practical diffusion-bonding method for making such joints.
