The bonding of β'-Al_2O_3 and pyrex glass to Al matrix composites by anodic bonding process is achieved.The microstructure of the bonded interface and the joining mechanisms are analyzed with scanning electron microscope (SEM),energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (EDX).It is observed that the bonding region across the interface consists of the metal layer,oxide transitional layer and the ceramic layer,with the transitional layer composed of surface region and sub-surface region. The bonding process can mainly be categorized into anedic bonding process and solid state diffusing process.The pile-up of the ions and its drift in the interface area are the main reasons for anode oxidation and joining of the interface.The temperature,voltage and the drift ions in the ceramic or glass during the bonding process are the essential conditions to solid state diffusing and oxide bonding at the interface.The voltages,temperature,pressure as well as the surface state are the main factors that influence the anodic bonding.
