Abstract

The joining of dissimilar materials of ceramics and metals has been a hot research topic for both theoretical and practical applications at home and abroad. Connecting ceramics and metals together can combine the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance of ceramics with the strong toughness of metals, becoming an ideal structural material and expanding the application fields of ceramics. The results of decades of research on ceramic and metal welding methods by countless scholars have shown that some of the joining problems have been solved, but the strength and heat resistance of ceramic/metal joints are still far from the requirements of using ceramic/metal joints. This paper reviews the current literature and practical applications, and after analysis, it is concluded that the effective methods for realizing ceramic-metal joints are mainly brazing, which has a very wide range of potential value in practical applications. However, these methods also have obvious drawbacks, leading to limitations in their own applications. For example, brazing generally requires a high surface quality of the workpiece, and this method of welding is only suitable for small workpieces and most lap joints, thus limiting its use in industrial production and making it unsuitable for high-temperature applications. On the other hand, inactive brazing permits effective ceramic/metal joining at high temperatures, which compensates to some extent for the disadvantages of brazing.
