Bissig, V.Janczak-Rusch, J.Galli, M.2010-05-262010-05-262010-05-262007https://infoscience.epfl.ch/handle/20.500.14299/50437Three different approaches for metal to ceramic brazing are compared using the example of Si3N4/TiN-steel joints: the use of an active filler metal (single layer brazing system), the metallisation of the ceramic and brazing with a non active filler (two-layer brazing system), the use of a composite brazing filler system (three layer brazing system). Different aspects are analysed: the development of the joint's microstructure in the as-brazed state, the thermally induced residual stresses and the resulting bend strength of the joint's strength.brazingmetal ceramic jointsactive filter metalresidual stressesFE simulationtext::journal::journal article
