The overarching goal of this project is to come up with an innovative joining solution for integration of SiC ceramic to structural materials such as stainless steels (SS)/Ni-base alloys, where intimate metallurgical bonding between SiC ceramic and the structural metallic alloy is demonstrated at the interface. Implementation of a simple, yet robust joining method would help in increasing the application space of SiC in a high-temperature CSP (concentrated solar power) plant, especially in the receiver section. This research goal has been achieved by creating a functionally graded material (FGM) interface between SiC and the selected structural material with the help of powder metallurgy (PM) approach and demonstrate intimate metallurgical bonding between monolithic RB-SiC and 316L stainless steel alloy blanks.
