The Effect of High Temperature Exposure in Reducing or Oxidizing Atmosphere on Ceramic Joints Brazed with Silver-Copper Oxide

Conference ·
OSTI ID:965621

Recently a new technique, referred to as reactive air brazing (RAB), has been developed for use in hermetically sealing high temperature solid state electrochemical devices such as planar solid oxide fuel cells and gas separation devices. Ceramic joints used in these devices are usually exposed to oxidizing and/or reducing atmospheres at high operating temperature. In this paper, we report the effect of the exposure to these atmospheres at high temperature on the mechanical properties and microstructural morphology of ceramic joints brazed with silver-copper oxide braze
