Patent ID: 7481353

Claim:
A metal bonding method for bonding a first connector and a second connector, each of which is made of a metal, the method comprising: facing the first connector and second connector to each other while inserting therebetween a mixture of a hydrocarbon compound and an organic peroxide; heating the mixture of the hydrocarbon compound and the organic peroxide to thermally decompose the hydrocarbon compound into a hydrocarbon compound radical from which hydrogen has been separated and to thermally decompose the organic peroxide into an organic peroxide radical whose oxygen-oxygen bond has been released, wherein abstracting hydrogen from the hydrocarbon compound is performed using the organic peroxide radical, thereby promoting the formation of the hydrocarbon compound radical; and bonding the metals constituting the connectors through contact, diffusion or melting of the metals while reducing an oxide film formed on the surface of the metal by the hydrocarbon compound radical.
