Abstract: In order to obtain high performance of the printed circuit plate heat exchanger for dry gas compressor, the mechanical properties of the stainless steel material 316L diffusion welded joints are investigated under different diffusion welding processes in working condition. The results confirm that the joint strength and toughness increase with the increase in welding temperature; when the welding temperature is higher than 1,060 ℃, the welding strength variation tendency is small; the joint yield strength and toughness increase with the increase in welding pressure; when the welding pressure is greater than 10 MPa, the joint mechanical properties change is small; with the extension of holding time, the strength changes slightly while the toughness increases. After comprehensive consideration, the process is optimized as follows: the diffusion welding temperature is 1,060~1,120 ℃, the welding pressure is 10~13 MPa, and the holding time is 60 min.
