The present disclosure relates to a connecting element and to a process for producing said connecting element. The present disclosure further relates to the use of said connecting element for friction-increasing connection of components to be joined in machine, plant and motor vehicle construction and energy generation.

Connecting element for the friction-increasing connection of components, process for making a connecting element and use of a connecting element

A process for joining ceramic components, wherein the components which are to be joined consist of sintered nonoxide ceramic, and the components are brought into contact with one another in a diffusion-welding process in the presence of a shielding gas atmosphere and are joined with little deformation, under the application of a temperature of at least 1600&#xb0; C., preferably over 1800&#xb0; C., particularly preferably over 2000&#xb0; C., and if appropriate a load, to form a monolith, the components which are to be joined experiencing plastic deformation in the direction in which force is introduced of less than 5%, preferably less than 1%.
