Abstract
Abstract Compositions are disclosed for securing Si 3 N 4 parts together, these compositions being in the β'-Y 2 Si 2 O 7 --Y 3 Al 5 O 12 tetrahedron, e.g. compositions in mole % comprising (1) 15% Si 3 N 4 , 79.1% Y 2 Si 2 O 7 and 6.9% Y 3 Al 5 O 12 or (2) 25% Si 2 AlON 3 and 75% Y 3 Al 5 O 12 Y. A method of securing Si 3 N 4 parts together comprises placing the composition between the parts to be bonded and heating to brazing temperature (about 1600° C.) in nitrogen.
