TL;DR: In this paper, a method of ceramic-ceramic joining that exploits a thin layer of a transient liquid phase to join alumina to alumina has been developed, and the results of its application to joining alumina are reported.

TL;DR: In this article, the integrity of ceramic/metal joints is investigated under mechanically applied cyclic stresses using double-cantilever-beam, and compact-tension, sandwich test specimens.

TL;DR: In this paper, a thin transient liquid phase (TLP) layer is employed to join oxide and non-oxide ceramics by a brazing-like process, which allows the formation of ceramic-ceramic joints with high melting point metals at temperatures that are typically several hundred degrees lower than those required for more conventional joining methods.

TL;DR: In this article, experimental results from fracture tests on ceramic/metal/ceramic sandwich geometries are described which determine both the selection of crack path and the corresponding crack extension rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multilayer interlayer designed to form a thin, potentially transient layer of liquid phase has been used to join alumina to alumina, achieving bonding at 1150 degrees C. Flexure strengths of as-bonded samples ranged from 119 to 255 MPa, with an average of ≈ 181 MPa.
