Abstract

A joined material and a method of manufacturing the joined material are provided which enable a metal layer and a carbon material layer to be easily joined to each other while making the thickness of the metal layer larger and which can inhibit failure.A joined material includes a CFC layer (3) and a tungsten layer (4) that are joined to each other. A sintered tungsten carbide layer (5), a mixed layer (6) of SiC and WC, and SiC and WC (7) that have been sintered while intruding into the CFC layer (3), are formed between the CFC layer (3) and the tungsten layer (4), and these layers (3, 4, 5, 6, and 7) are joined to each other by sintering.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A joined material comprising a carbon material layer consisting essentially of a carbon fiber composite material and a metal layer comprising tungsten joined to each other, characterized in that:
a joint layer is formed between the carbon material layer and the metal layer, the joint layer consisting of a sintering aid agent and a ceramic; the ceramic consists of i) SiC and WC or ii) SiC, WC and the remainder consisting of at least one selected from the group consisting of AlN, TiC, ZrC, B 4 C, TaC, and HfC; the sintering aid agent consists of at least one selected from the group consisting of Y 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , La 2 O 3 , CeO 2 , Sm 2 O 3 , Yb 2 O 3 , and Lu 2 O 3 ; the carbon material layer, the joint layer, and the metal layer are joined to each other by sintering; and
SiC and WC in the joint layer intrudes in a structure of the carbon material layer by compression during sintering so that the joining between the joint layer and the carbon material layer is mainly caused by a physical anchoring effect, wherein the SiC and the WC grow in a form of particles by the sintering,

wherein a metal in the metal layer has a melting point of 1700 degree or higher.

2. The joined material according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the joint layer is from 10 μm to 150 μm.

3. The joined material according to claim 1 , wherein the joint layer intrudes by 5 μm or more into the structure of the carbon material layer at an interface between the carbon material layer and the joint layer.

4. The joined material according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon fiber composite material in the carbon material layer contains an ash content of 20 ppm or less.

5. The joined material according to claim 1 , for use as a divertor plate and/or a first wall of a nuclear fusion reactor.
