Brazing of Ti 2 AlC ceramics has been successfully performed using a pure Al filler metal, in the temperature range 1023 K-1173 K and with holding time ranging from 0 min to 30 min. The microstructure of the Ti 2 AlC joints was studied, and the mechanical properties of the joints were evaluated by shear strength test. It is observed that the Al filler has weak effect on the stability of Ti 2 AlC substrate, and only a small amount of decomposition products including the TiC x and TiAl 3 compounds can be observed in the joints. In addition, the formation of an inter-diffusion layer in the Ti 2 AlC substrate is considered as the major brazing mechanism. The maximum shear strength of the Ti 2 AlC joints using the pure Al filler metal is 95 MPa, with an electrical conductivity of 2.21×10 6 S•m-1 , after holding the sample at 1123 K for 10 min.
