| Abstract Scope |
Silicon carbide (SiC) is an engineering ceramic that is useful for high-temperature applications due to its corrosion resistance and strength retention at elevated temperatures. Often the components needed for high-temperature applications are complex and difficult to manufacture. To decrease production costs these complex parts are often created by joining simpler geometries together. For joining to be considered, the joints must have mechanical strength that is comparable to the bulk material and must be able to retain their structural integrity at elevated temperatures. Joints often fail due to residual stresses that arise during the processing of joints. This talk will focus on ways in which residual stresses can be minimized by controlling processing parameters and methods of joining that are conducive for high-temperature applications. |
