Abstract
A method for connecting or joining a first substrate and a second substrate across an interface between the first substrate and the second substrate. The method includes disposing a fastener precursor in the bore and sintering the fastener precursor in the bore. The fastener precursor densifies and shrinks in at least one dimension to mechanically interlock with a contour in the bore and form a mechanical fastener in the bore, and the mechanical fastener forms an interlock between the first substrate and the second substrate.
