Abstract
A new joining method has been developed which is applicable to metal-zirconia systems.
This method has the following advantages;
1. Ability to make joining without load,
2. Ability to make joining in a short time,
3. Ability to make joining to any surface area,
4. No oxidation of the metal surface,
5. Ability to control the thickness of the reaction layer,
6. No special equipment is required,
7. Ability to be used even with complex shapes,
8. Ability to be used with zirconia sprayed materials.
In the present work, chiefly, an Fe-zirconia system was investigated and it was confirmed that this method was applicable to other metal-zirconia systems.
