Abstract
A Si--SiC ceramic layer is bonded to a non-porous SiC substrate with the Si etched from the layer to form a relatively porous surface on the otherwise non-porous high strength SiC substrate. A quartz layer is softened by heating and forced into the pores of the porous layer to form a mechanical bond to the SiC substrate. A refractory metal layer is bonded to the quartz layer to complete the joint. A refractory metal support component is then bonded to the refractory layer whereby the quartz serves as a high strength, high temperature reaction barrier between the metal of the refractory layer and the silicon of the SiC substrate.
