Claims
- 1. A method for producing a jointed article composed of a ceramic article and a metallic article, said ceramic article being selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3), zirconium oxide (ZrO.sub.2), silicon nitride (Si.sub.3 N.sub.4), and silicon carbide (SiC), which comprises the steps of:
- forming a metallic film on the surface of said ceramic article over a joining part and a part adjacent to the joining part where tensile stresses are formed as the result of the subsequent joining step, said metallic film being formed of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Cr, Ni and Co, and having a thickness of 0.1 to 0.5 .mu.m;
- irradiating the surface of said metallic film with high-energy ions causing mixture of atoms between said metallic film and said ceramic article so as to fast adhere said metallic film and said ceramic article; and
- joining said ceramic article to said metallic article through said metallic film held between said ceramic article and said metallic article so as to produce said jointed article composed of both articles fixedly fitted under pressure, thereby preventing the breakage of said ceramic surface near the end of said metallic article.
- 2. A method according to claim 1, wherein said ions are selected from N, Ar, Ne, and Xe ions.
- 3. A method according to claim 2, wherein said irradiating is carried out with the distance of ion penetration into said metallic film being 1 to 1.1 times the thickness of said metallic film.
- 4. A method according to claim 3, wherein the dosage of said ions is in the range of 1.times.10.sup.13 to 1.times.10.sup.18 ions/cm.sup.2.
- 5. A method according to claim 4, wherein said joining under pressure is carried out by shrinkage fit.
- 6. A method according to claim 4, wherein said joining under pressure is carried out by fastening with bolts or nuts.
- 7. A method according to claim 1, wherein said metallic film is formed by physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition.
- 8. A method according to claim 7, wherein said ceramic article is a turbine shaft in a super charger for an internal combustion engine.
- 9. A method according to claim 3, further comprising, after the step of said irradiating, subjecting the surface of said metallic film to plating.
- 10. A method according to claim 9, wherein said plating forms at least one metallic film selected from Cu and Ni.
- 11. A method according to claim 10, wherein said ceramic article is selected from aluminum oxide (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3), zirconium oxide (ZrO.sub.2), silicon nitride (Si.sub.3 N.sub.4), and silicon carbide (SiC), and the dosage of said ions is in the range of 1.times.10.sup.13 to 1.times.10.sup.18 ions/cm.sup.2.
- 12. A method according to claim 11, wherein said metallic film is formed by physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition.
- 13. A method according to claim 12, wherein said ceramic article is a turbine shaft in a super charger for an internal combustion engine.
