  • RAPID, REDUCED TEMPERATURE JOINING OF ALUMINA CERAMICS WITH Ni/Nb/Ni INTERLAYERS
    Publication number: 20080087710
    Abstract: Multilayer Ni/Nb/Ni interlayers form thin transient liquid films at reduced temperatures that enable the rapid joining of alumina ceramics, and produce joints of reliably high strength. Bulk alumina with polished and as-ground bonding surfaces have been successfully joined. The overall interlayer composition can exceed 95% Nb, and thereby provide an excellent thermal expansion match to alumina, alumina-matrix composites, and other materials. Fabrication of joints suitable for high-temperature applications is possible.
