Environmental compatibilities of ceramic-metal joints were reviewed on thermal cycles, wet and non-aqueous corrosions, and oxidation at elevated temperatures.
The Al2O3/metal joints with a Ag-Cu-Ti solder were suffered from hot water and oxidation degradations, while the Si3N4/metal joints made by a Mn-metallized method were found to have relatively high anti-corrosion properties.
An research trends and their significances were discussed for further improvement and applicabilities of the ceramic-metal joints.
