Abstract
Abstract A method or joining ceramics comprising the steps: of preparing a ceramics body and another body to be connected with the ceramics body; of interposing a layer of ultra-fine particles having smaller size than the surface roughnesses of the contact surfaces of the ceramics body and the other body, the layer having larger thickness than the surface roughnesses, and the ultra-fine particles being reactive with the ceramics body and the other body and forming a reaction produce which has a strong bonding power to the ceramics body and the other body; and then of pressing and heating the piled composition of the ceramics body, other body and layer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
A method for joining ceramics comprising the steps: (A) of preparing a ceramics body and other body to be joined with said ceramics body; (B) of interposing a layer of ultra-fine particles having smaller size than the surface roughnesses of the contact surfaces of said ceramics body and said other body, said layer having larger thickness than said surface roughnesses, said ultra-fine particles being reactive for solid-phase diffusion joining with said ceramics body and said other body and forming a reaction product which has a strong bonding power to said ceramics body and said other body; and then (C) of pressing and heating the stacked composition of said ceramics body, other body and layer.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
