Abstract

Alumina/alumina and alumina/kovar/alumina joints were produced via two joining techniques: (i) a moly-manganese process and (ii) active metal brazing. These joints were heat treated at 400 °C for 100 h to evaluate their fracture strength, fracture behavior, and high-temperature reliability. Depending on the joining methods employed, the optimum microstructure of ceramics for joining is different. It was found in most cases, that the active metal brazing resulted in superior joint strength and reliability over the moly-manganese process. The fracture strength and reliability of alumina/kovar/alumina joints were lower than those of alumina/alumina joints and showed different fracture behaviors. After heat treatment, fracture strength and reliability decreased due to the formation of brittle phases at the joint interface. The fraction of brittle debonding at the interface increased with heat treatment, while that of fracture within the alumina decreased.
