Abstract
A method and apparatus of diffusion bonding structural components to a titanium honeycomb panel comprises inserting the honeycomb panel within a cavity formed in a pair of tool halves such that one face sheet of the honeycomb panel is positioned in contact with or immediately adjacent the bonding surface of one or more structural components carried by the tool halves. Heat and vacuum are applied at the interface between the structural components and honeycomb panel, and then a pressurized gas is pumped into the interior of the honeycomb panel to urge its face sheet outwardly into engagement with the bonding surfaces of the structural components with sufficient force to effect a diffusion bond therebetween.
