(under subclass 428) Process including stressing a metallic workpiece beyond the elastic limit thereof combined with fastening of that workpiece to another workpiece by adhesive or fusion bonding wherein the securement is by use of a molecular interfit brought about by use of nonmetallic material.
(1) Note. The nonmetallic material may come directly from a workpiece (fusion or diffusion bonding) or may be added for bonding (adhesive bonding).
