This article reviews the progress that has been made in developing and applying joining techniques for Si3N4 and discusses our understanding of the influence of process selection on the materials science of the formation and properties of joints. High-performance Si 3 N 4 joints can be produced, but it is clear that much work remains to be done before the use of such joints in hot-stressed applications can be disregarded as a problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
