JOINING OF CERAMIC COMPOSITES AND ADVANCED CERAMICS
Ceramics and Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) are well known as useful materials for harsh environment applications. Ceramic components have been widely used as abrasives, cutting tools, nuclear fuel elements, catalyst supports and astronomical telescope mirrors. Generally speaking, ceramics and CMC …

Toughening mechanisms in weak matrix ceramic composites
<p>"Tough behavior of ceramic matrix composites is closely related to the weak interface between fiber and matrix. The weak interfaces in composites have been provided by reducing the chemical bonding and the residual thermal stresses between constituents. A new way to introduce the weak interface …

Fusion welding of diboride-carbide ceramic composites
<p>"Plasma and pulsed plasma arc welding (PAW and PPAW) processes were used to fusion weld ZrB<sub>2</sub> containing 20 vol% ZrC. Varying welding parameters resulted in changes in weld pool shape and size, and the size of ZrB<sub>2</sub> grains within the fusion zone. For PAW processes that …
