“…Many joining approaches and various interlayers have been utilized. Sintered, hot-pressed, and CVD (chemical vapor deposition) SiC ceramics have been diffusion-bonded using metal interlayers of molybdenum, 10 titanium, [11][12][13][14][15][16] tantalum, 17 tungsten, 18 niobium, 17 zirconium, 16 nickel, 19 Inconel 600, 20 and intermetallics, such as TiAl. Plates, disks, pipes, pipe-disk couples, and other part geometries have been diffusionbonded.…”
