This study examines the diffusion bonding behavior between 316L stainless steel and H13 tool steel, focusing on the effects of key process parameters. Specifically, the influence of bonding pressure, bonding temperature, and holding time on joint quality and mechanical performance is systematically investigated. The Taguchi optimization method was employed to determine the optimal bonding conditions, with shear strength serving as the primary performance indicator. The bonding interfaces were characterized through scanning electron microscopy to analyze microstructural evolution and diffusion behavior. Analysis of variance was conducted to assess the influence of process parameters on shear strength, identifying temperature as the most significant factor. The optimum shear strength was experimentally validated, and a confidence interval was calculated to ensure statistical reliability. The results demonstrated that higher bonding temperatures and moderate pressures led to improved diffusion at the interface, enhancing joint integrity. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the diffusion bonding process and its potential for high-performance applications in aerospace, biomedical, and tooling industries.
