“…Silicon carbide (SiC) is one of the promising candidates for advanced nuclear systems, aerospace, and the thirdgeneration semiconductor applications, due to its excellent high-temperature mechanical properties, outstanding chemical stability, and remarkable irradiation-damageresistance. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] However, it is difficult to fabricate large size SiC-based components with complex shapes due to their poor machinability. [10][11] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a reliable joining technology in order to enhance the application potential of advanced SiC-based materials, such as the joining of cladding tubes and end caps, large size laser mirrors, etc.…”
