Abstract
A metal valve stem is attached to a ceramic valve plug. An elongated metal screw member has an expandable section securely wedged into a cavity in the plug as the attached screw/ceramic plug are threadably tightened on the valve stem. A first pre-wedging step presses an expander on the screw to fully bend the expander inside the ceramic cavity. The second wedging step during tightening of the screw/plug on the stem ensures uniform loading of the expander on the ceramic cavity surfaces.
