Joining of Carbon-Carbon Composites for Thermonuclear Fusion
Applications.
-Metals such as Si, Al, and Ti, intermetallic compounds such as Mg2Si, and borosilicate and zinc borate glasses are tested as joining agents for the title purpose. Despite the extremely low wettability of carbonfiber reinforced carbon composites, several pressureless joinings are obtained. The most promising joints are obtained with Si and Al. They exhibit shear strengths of β22 and 10 MPa, respectively. Attempts to get suitable joints with glasses failed.
