The widely used direct bonding methods for ceramic materials, reactive metal brazing and solid-state diffusion bondmg, have limitations, in particular the former route when used to produce SisNs joints able to withstand high operation temperatures. An alternative method proposed of creating high temperature resistant interfaces between dissimilar materials is partial transient liquid phase (PTLP) bonding (1). This modification of the transient liquid phase (TLP) method (2) use a multilayer metal composed of a thin insert outer layer on a thick core of refractory metal (3). A liquid is formed at the joining temperature either because the melting point of the outer layer has been exceeded or because reaction between the core and the outer layer has produced a phase that is molten at temperature. The liquid wets the solid surfaces and interdiffuses with the parent materials to transform into a more refractory solid material. Homogenisation of the outer layer during bonding or subsequent thermal treatment makes it possible to produce joints with operation temperatures near or equal to that used in joining.PTLP-bonding of S&N4 with NiCr/Au and NiCr/Cu interlayers has been investigated recently (4). In the present study silicon nitride was joined to silicon nitride using multilayer inserts CuTi/Pd/CuTi iand Ti/Cu/Ti. The ability of these combinations to form a transient liquid during joining and therefore their applicability for PTLP-bonding of SisN4 was studied. Flexural strengths of joints were determined at room temperature and at elevated temperatures up to 800 C. The joint microstructures and fracture surfaces were examined optically and with SEM/EDX/EPMA techniques.
