“…Furthermore, the large residual stresses in the ceramic-metal joints during cooling from the brazing process, which can damaged the reliability of the brazed joints and even lead to fracture during subsequent service. To alleviate the residual stresses, a series of particles or fibers with low CTE values, such as carbon fiber, SiC, Si 3 N 4 , TiN, TiC, Mo and TiB [7][8][9][10][11][12][13], were added in the filler metal to develop a composite filler to braze ceramics and metals. However, The brazing mechanism and the possibly related interfacial reactions with addition of Mo content between ZrO 2 and Nb have been less often reported, especially using Ag-Cu-Ti + Mo reinforced particles composite filler metal.…”
