Reassessment of Ag–Pd System

Diffusion bonding of Ti‐coated Cf‐SiCf/SiBCN composites to Nb using Ag–Pd interlayer

“…15 The alloying additive of palladium not only provides a higher melting temperature and corrosion resistance, but also maintains the low yield strength and high plasticity of the interlayer. 16,17 Prior to the joining, a dense and uniform Ti is coated on the ceramic surface by magnetron sputtering, to make the diffusion process more time effective and prevent the possible Pd-ceramic reaction. The effects of the metalized layer and joining parameters on the joint microstructure and mechanical performance were investigated in detail.…”
