Ceramic Brazing to Stainless Steel
Ceramic-to-stainless-steel brazing provides a practical way to combine ceramic insulation with the mechanical strength and corrosion resistance of stainless steel. The main challenge is controlling thermal expansion mismatch and joint stress during heating and cooling.
Key Features
- Strong ceramic-to-stainless-steel connection
- Good corrosion resistance
- High-temperature stability
- Hermetic sealing capability
- Suitable for complex geometries
Materials
Typical ceramic materials include alumina , while stainless steel options can be selected according to the application and operating environment.
Process Control
Surface cleaning, joint clearance, material matching, fixture alignment, brazing temperature, holding time, and cooling rate all influence final joint reliability.
Applications
Common applications include vacuum chambers, feedthroughs, semiconductor equipment, medical devices, fluid systems, and high-temperature industrial assemblies.
Have a ceramic and stainless-steel assembly that is difficult to join? Share the drawing or sample so the joint structure and brazing method can be reviewed before production.
