Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contribution presents the state of the art in brazing metal–ceramic compounds. General problems during brazing of metal and ceramic and different process variations with appropriate brazing materials are described. The brazing process itself and interesting examination methods for metal–ceramic compounds are explained. For a selected material combination, the microstructure and strength behaviour are described. In the final section, recent results for induction brazing of metal–ceramic compounds are introduced as an energy-efficient alternative to conventional furnace brazing processes. The process-specific basics of induction brazing and furnace brazing, as well as the microstructure and strength behaviour for both processes, are compared.
