Abstract

A method for fluxlessly joining members having relatively low melting materials is provided. The members to be joined are exposed to ion beam radiation of sufficient intensity and a time sufficient to cause cleaning of the low melting materials after cooling. The members are then placed into juxtaposition with each other and again exposed to ion beam radiation of an intensity and for a time sufficient to cause reflow of the low melting materials which upon cooling joins said members.
