This course provides an overview of the different material behaviors of ceramics and metals as well as the material profiles of important engineering ceramic materials. It furthermore serves to explain the most important processes of the production and joining of ceramics and the basics of brazing. After taking this class, students will be able to distinguish between different methods of ceramic brazing and to name particular features, fields of application and problems of the respective methods. Special attention will be paid to problems particular to joining mixed ceramic/metal joints and to the ways of solving these problems. Additionally, suitable methods of non-destructive and destructive testing will be presented. Moreover, the class will introduce the basics of using simulations to calculate internal stresses and their use in the technical design of joints to minimize residual stresses. A deeper insight into the ceramic production and brazing technology will be provided by guided tours through the institutes.
