Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a method for bonding a non-oxide ceramic to a metal through an intermediate material comprising at least one member selected from metals of the Groups VIa and VIII of the Periodic Table. This method is suitably used for bonding of a structural part of a machine, an electronic part and the like.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A method for bonding a non-oxide ceramic to a metal which comprises bonding an intermediate material comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of metals of the group VIb and VIII of the Periodic Table to the metal by diffusion bonding, abutting the intermediate material against the non-oxide ceramic and heating the resulting assembly under pressure at a temperature lower than the fusion temperature of the intermediate material to bond the assembly together and, thereafter, maintaining the bonded assembly at a constant temperature lower than the heating temperature under a constant pressure higher than the pressure applied in the heating step for a time sufficient to cause plastic deformation in the intermediate material.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
116 words
A method for bonding a non-oxide ceramic to a metal which comprises bonding an intermediate material comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of metals of the group VIb and VIII of the Periodic Table to the metal by diffusion bonding, abutting the intermediate material against the non-oxide ceramic and heating the resulting assembly under pressure at a temperature lower than the fusion temperature of the intermediate material to bond the assembly together and, thereafter, maintaining the bonded assembly at a constant temperature lower than the heating temperature under a constant pressure higher than the pressure applied in the heating step for a time sufficient to cause plastic deformation in the intermediate material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method for bonding a non-oxide ceramic to a metal according to claim 1, wherein said heating under pressure is carried out in a non-oxidizing or weakly oxidizing atmosphere.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
A method for bonding a non-oxide ceramic to a metal according to claim 1, wherein an alloy comprising as main ingredients Fe, Ni and Co, an alloy comprising as main ingredients Fe, Ni and Cr or an alloy comprising Ni as a main ingredient is used as said intermediate material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
A method for bonding a non-oxide ceramic to a metal according to claim 3, wherein said intermediate material also contains at least one member selected from the group consisting of Ti, Nb, Zr, Al, Mo and W in addition to said main ingredients or main ingredient.
