Silver was bonded to nickel by using silver–oxide particles with cetyl alcohol as a bonding material for bonding at 350°C under H2. The shear strength of the bonds formed with the joining medium of silver oxide/cetyl alcohol was 27.1 MPa. Sintered silver was bonded to nickel without the oxide layer that ensured the sintered silver was strongly bonded to nickel, which was confirmed by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy.
