The method of brazing by capillary impregnation of Cu-Ca melt through a tit
anium powder layer situated between brazed details is elaborated. Samples o
f ZrO2 ceramic/metal brazed joints using Cu-Ga-Ti filler and Cu-Su-Pb-Ti fi
ller were fabricated. The joints' shear strength was 277 +/- 37 MPa for the
Cu-Ga-Ti and 156 +/- 25 MPa for the Cu-Sn-Pb-Ti. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science
