ABSTRACT:
A process and apparatus for bonding together two layers of dissimilar material, yielding a composite structure which is substantially stress-free at a selectable reference temperature and reference isostatic pressure, which includes providing a first layer and a second layer; determining a critical line for the first layer and second layer in a pressure-temperature plane wherein a location of the critical line depends on the selectable reference temperature and reference isostatic pressure and depends on coefficients of thermal expansion and bulk moduli material constants of the first layer and the second layer, wherein the critical line sets forth a plurality of temperature-pressure pairs at which the composite structure will be substantially stress-free; controlling a temperature and an isostatic pressure during bonding such that the temperature and the isostatic pressure represent a point on the critical line; bonding the first layer and the second layer at the temperature and the isostatic pressure; and returning to the selectable reference temperature and reference isostatic pressure after bonding is completed by following a path in the pressure-temperature plane which avoids imposing disruptive stresses on the composite structure.
