The Diffusion Bonding (DB) process parameters play an important role in joining characteristics of similar and dissimilar metals. Response surface methodology (RSM) technique is used to predict Lap shear strength of the diffusion bonded Aluminium AA6061-SiC composites (ASC). The experiments were conducted based on three factors namely bonding temperature, bonding pressure and bonding time. Using RSM technique empirical relationship developed by utilizing the parameters such as bonding temperature, bonding pressure and bonding time on lap shear.
