SYNOPSIS Recomendations for the Design and Fabrication of Diffusion Bonded Joints in Reinforcing Bars Using Amorphous Metal Foil which have been drafted for the first time in Japan, are presented. This is a new joining process which utilizes the principle of diffusion of elements from an amorphous metal foil that is inserted and melted between the ends of the reinforcing bars together with application of pressure. The materials using for joining, design of joints, joining equipment, fabrication and inspection methods, etc.are described.
Keywords: design and fabrication code, reinforcing bar, joining diffusion bonding, amorphous metal foil
