ABSTRACT

The application discloses a method of liquid cold welding (LCW) including: (a)
engaging two or more porous conductive substrate layers between perforated
non-conductive frames so that the substrate layers contact one another; (b)
immersing the substrate layers in an electrolyte solution; and (c) applying
electric current and/or voltage and/or electric power to the electrolyte
solution. Apparatus suitable for performance of some embodiments of the method
are also disclosed.
