Abstract

Ceramics for engineering applications at elevated temperatures have considerable advantages over metals. Because of limitations in their manufacture it is desirable to restrict their use to only these zones where the specific properties are required. For this purpose techniques have been developed to join ceramic with ceramic or metal components.

In the first part of this review the conditions will be mentioned which provide a compound, i.e. compatibility, close contact and surface activity. The adherence is formed by physical adhesion, chemical reactions and sintering mechanisms.

The second part reports of several joining techniques which are applicable. They are classified in three groups: mechanical joining, brazing with application of intermediate layers and welding with or without forming of a liquid phase. Application of these methods will be shown in the area of ceramics based on alumina, silicon nitride and silicon carbide.
