Abstract:
1. A method of joining dissimilar materials having different ductility, the method comprising: decorating the more ductile of the materials with particles of a less ductile material by deformation of the more ductile material by forcing particles of the less ductile material into the surface of the more ductile material such that the particles of the less ductile material are mechanically interlocked with the more ductile material to form a composite; joining the composite and a joining member comprising a less ductile material by sintering particles of the less ductile material decorated on the more ductile material to the joining member; wherein the more ductile material is a metal, the less ductile material decorated on the more ductile material is a ceramic and the joining member is a ceramic or cermet.
