That makes sense. If I guessed I would say the clamp would deform under the clamping pressure as it reaches forging temp but I have no idea how hot those metals need to be to fuse under that pressure load.

Speaking in general I have read that as pressure increases the amount if heat needed to fuse metals decreases so that makes sense.You can actually do it cold if you had a press from what I read with these two soft materials. From what I read heating them technically this doesn’t actually forge weld them in the traditional sense of the word it’s done through a different process which I forget the name of I’ll try to look at it after while and let you know. I could be way off I have to re-read the material I was reading.
