SEM X-ray mapping of ceramic joints


EMSL Project ID
1726

Abstract

The objective is to understand the microstructure of ceramic joints fabricated by a novel method. The method was developed at PNNL and the current work involves an SBIR contract at Sienna Technologies, Woodinville, WA. Various specimens will be sent by Sienna Technologies in order to characterize the microstructure after fabrication and after various environmental exposure experiments. Fracture surfaces will also be investigated after mechanical testing at PNNL. Joining of ceramics and ceramic composites is an enabling technology with application to improved efficiency and environmental benefit in power generation and manufacturing.
