Title: A NEW APPROACH TO JOINING SIC/SIC COMPOSITES

Book ·
OSTI ID:907942

A new approach to joining SiC-based ceramics is described and evaluated for Fusion Energy systems. The joining method is based on pre-ceramic polymers filled with reactive and inert filler powders and is similar to other approaches that use such materials. This approach differs in the particular polymer system and in the details of the processing. A principal advantage of this approach relative to other, similar approaches is that the polymer system is easily handled in ambient air and can be processed in air. This makes the joining process simple and field repairable. The joining compound is a liquid that can be painted, sprayed, or applied by dip coating.
