Abstract: A method for assembling a zirconia part to a titanium element with braze, the method comprising the following steps: coating a surface of the titanium element with a niobium layer, positioning a braze between the zirconia part and the niobium, the braze being of gold or a gold alloy, heating the whole to a temperature higher than the melting temperature of the braze, and then cooling the whole, whereby an assembly comprising the zirconia part and the titanium element assembled by a brazing joint comprising a first portion of gold or a gold alloy, a second portion formed by a reaction layer comprising intermetallics of the AuNbTi system, and a third portion formed by an oxide reaction layer is obtained.

Abstract: Process for the moderately refractory assembly of at least two articles made of silicon carbide-based materials by non-reactive brazing in an oxidizing atmosphere, in which the articles are placed in contact with a non-reactive brazing composition and the assembly formed by the articles and the brazing composition is heated in an oxidizing atmosphere at a brazing temperature sufficient to melt the brazing composition so as to form a moderately refractory joint, wherein the non-reactive brazing composition is a composition A composed of silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3) and calcium oxide (CaO), or alternatively a composition B composed of alumina (Al2O3), calcium oxide (Cao) and magnesium oxide (MgO). Brazing suspension, paste comprising a powder of said brazing composition and an organic binder. Refractory joint and assembly.

Abstract: A method is described for assembling at least two parts made of silicon carbide based materials by non-reactive brazing in an oxidizing atmosphere, each of the parts comprising a surface to be assembled, wherein the parts are placed in contact with a non-reactive brazing composition, the assembly formed by the parts and the brazing composition is heated to a brazing temperature sufficient for completely or at least partially melting the brazing composition, or rendering the brazing composition viscous, and the parts and the brazing composition are cooled so as to form, after cooling the latter to ambient temperature, a moderately refractory joint.

Abstract: An assembly between a metal piece and a ceramic material piece made of SiC and/or C based ceramic material. The assembly includes a stack structure including the following elements assembled together in pairs in this order, by brazing: the metal piece; a first intermediate piece; a second intermediate piece; and the ceramic material piece. The second intermediate piece is made of another ceramic material, that is chemically less reactive relative to metals than are SiC or C, and that presents a coefficient of expansion smaller than that of the material constituting the metal piece. The first intermediate piece is made of metal and can deform to compensate for expansion difference between the metal piece and the second intermediate piece. The assembly can be used in a turbomachine.
