"This research focuses on the joining of ultra-high temperature ceramics to either themselves or refractory metals/alloys via fusion welding and the mechanical strength of produced joints. The ceramics studied consisted of compositions within a diboride-carbide-carbide ternary system while metals studied consisted of molybdenum and a molybdenum alloy. SiC-ZrB2-ZrC ceramics on a binary join between pure SiC and the ternary eutectic composition were found to be weldable when SiC content was below ~57.5 vol%. Compositions above 57.5 vol% SiC were unweldable based on pitting and off-gassing behavior. Welded strength of ceramics was ~180-300 MPa in the SiC-ZrB2-ZrC ternary eutectic composition, ~180-220 …

"Plasma and pulsed plasma arc welding (PAW and PPAW) processes were used to fusion weld ZrB2 containing 20 vol% ZrC. Varying welding parameters resulted in changes in weld pool shape and size, and the size of ZrB2 grains within the fusion zone. For PAW processes that resulted in a keyhole fusion zone (full penetration), the arc to workpiece power transfer efficiency was estimated to be 2 grain lengths were observed to decrease between binary PAW FZs (~1 mm in length), and binary PPAW FZs (~0.8 mm in length), and an increasing aspect ratio for ZrB2 grains in …
