Abstract
Two or more ceramic bodies are bonded together by oxidizing with a vapor-phase oxidant molten metal obtained from a body of precursor metal to form an oxidation reaction product bond. The oxidation reaction product is formed between adjacent facing, substantially congruent surfaces of the ceramic bodies and bridges the surfaces, thus bonding the ceramic bodies to each other. Promoters may optionally be used to facilitate formation of the oxidation reaction product.
