The oxidation behavior of a commercially available ceramic-to-metal braze alloy, Gold ABA, was investigated to evaluate its potential use in joining solid-state electrochemical device components. High temperature air exposure studies were performed on as-received braze alloy foils, on braze couples prepared with yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and 430 stainless steel substrates, and on brazed YSZ/430 joints. The results of our investigations demonstrate that the substrates can play an important role in determining the overall oxidation resistance of the brazed joint.
