MIT Study Reveals Melting of Metals Actually Hurts Rather Than Helps Bonding Process

For the bonding process of two pieces of metal, either the metals must melt a little where they meet or a bit of molten metal must be added between the pieces. A solid bond then forms when the metal hardens again. But researchers at MIT have found that in certain cases, melting can actually impede metal bonding rather than enhance it.
