A ceramic-metal composite laminate capable of exposure to high temperature differentials without damage, consisting of an inner ceramic layer, an outer metal layer and an intermediate interface layer of a low modulus metallic low density structure having a high melting point. The ceramic layer is secured to the low modulus structure directly or through an intermediate ceramic-metal composite, and the outer metal layer is brazed to the intermediate low modulus layer. Thermal strains caused by a temperature differential between the inner and outer layers are taken up without harmful effect by the intermediate low modulus layer.

Ceramic-metal laminate

A composite laminate capable of exposure to high temperature differentials without damage, comprising a first layer, a second layer and an intermediate web interface layer of a low modulus metallic low density structure having a high melting point. The first layer is secured to the low modulus structure directly or through an intermediate composite layer, and the second layer is bonded or secured to the intermediate low modulus layer. The thermal strains caused by a temperature differential between the first and second layers are taken up without harmful effect by the intermediate low modulus web layer.
