Abstract
Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are widely used in aerospace sector (gas turbines, structural re-entry thermal protection) and energy sector (heat exchangers, fusion reactor walls). These applications require a joint either permanent or temporary between CMC components with surrounding materials. Therefore, this chapter throws a light on different modes of joining and problem associated with them. This chapter mainly focuses on the joining of CMC–CMC joints, CMC–Metal joints, and non-permanent joints. As new CMCs are developed to meet the high temperature applications there is every scope for refining the existing techniques and for the development of new methods for joining the CMCs.
