Abstract Diffusion bonds between alumina and high-strength aluminium alloy (AA-7075) have been produced and studied in the present work. Direct diffusion bonding in the solid state was tested as a possible joining method for both materials. The nature of the AA7075-Al2O3 interface was investigated paying special attention to the chemical interaction processes between the alloying elements and the ceramic material, as well as their influence on the joint strength. SEM images and energy-dispersive microanalysis were used to determine the formation of reaction layer between both parent materials. Shear strength was used as an optimum method to evaluate the bond strength and the influence of the bonding parameters on it. A maximum shear strength of 60 MPa was achieved using bonding temperatures and pressures of 360 °C and 6 MPa, respectively, during very prolonged bonding times (100h). Fractographic studies of the failure surface gave additional information on those aspects.
