Abstract

845,112. Welding by pressure. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. Oct. 31, 1957 [Nov. 2, 1956], No. 33568/56. Class 83 (4). [Also in Group XXXVI] In bonding two parts, the surface of at least one part consisting of soft metal, the surfaces of the two parts are slid one over the other and the parts are pressed together to form a clean surface of the soft metal on the part or parts and to effect a bond therebetween. The end face of a cylindrical metal block is coated with indium on which a flat surface is formed by slicing or turning and this flat surface is pressed under a pressure of 15 pounds per square inch against the end face of another cylindrical metal block, one surface being rotated relatively to the other for one rotation of about 2 seconds, to effect bonding. The indium surface may be slightly convex and both end faces may be coated with indium. A crystal of semiconductor bismuth telluride is coated with indium and bonded as before to an indiumcoated metal block carrying a cooling fin to form a thermo junction for a thermo electric refrigerator. According to the Provisional Specification, in making a semi-conductor power rectifier comprising a germanium element attached as described in Specification 806,596 to one end of a first electrode in the form of a cylindrical copper block, a coating of indium is applied to the other end of the electrode and to an end face of a cylindrical copper core carrying cooling fins and the indium surfaces are pressed together under a pressure of 15 pounds per square inch while one is rotated relative to the other. A second electrode is coated with indium which is pressed against a bead of indium on the germanium element while relatively rotating the parts. A hermetic enclosure for the element comprising a copper cup-shaped envelope with a flanged rim has the rim coated with indium and is then, in an inert atmosphere, pressed and rotated against indium in an annular channel in a disc of copper or nickel-plated stainless steel having an opening in which the first electrode is secured. A lead on the second electrode is crimped into a copper thimble in the envelope. Indium may be applied to only one of the surfaces to be bonded. Specifications 808,776 and 845,111 also are referred to.
