Abstract

A joined body 20 includes a first member 21 which is a ceramic containing Si, a second member 22 , and a joining portion 30 which is formed of an electrically conductive oxide containing a Fe 3 O 4 phase and which joins the first member 21 and the second member 22 . In the joined body 20 , no reaction layer is preferably formed at a joining interface between the electrically conductive oxide and the first member 21 . The joining portion 30 is preferably formed to have a multilayer structure in which from the first matter 21 to the second member 22 , a first layer containing a first oxide of a transition metal, a second layer containing an electrically conductive oxide of a transition metal having a low valence as compared to that of the first oxide, and a mixed layer containing a transition metal and an oxide thereof are formed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A joined body comprising:
a first member which is a ceramic containing Si;
a second member; and
a joining portion which includes an electrically conductive oxide containing a Fe 3 O 4 phase and which joins the first member and the second member,
wherein the joining portion is formed to have a multilayer structure in which from the first member to the second member, a first layer containing a Fe 2 O 3 phase as a first oxide, a second layer containing a Fe 3 O 4 phase as a second oxide having a lower Fe valence than that of the first oxide, and a mixed layer containing a Fe metal and the second oxide are formed.

2. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein a reaction layer having the thickness of greater than 3.0 μm is not formed at a joining interface between the joining portion and the first member.

3. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein the joining portion further contains a Fe 2 O 3 phase.

4. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive oxide contains, in addition to the Fe, at least one additive selected from Ni, Mn, Co, Cu, and Zn.

5. The joined body according to claim 4 , wherein in the electrically conductive oxide, the additive is solid-dissolved in a range of 2 to 20 percent by mass.

6. The joined body according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second member has a coefficient of thermal expansion higher than that of the first member.

7. The joined body according to claim 6 , wherein in the joining portion, with respect to the total thickness of the joining portion, the thickness of the mixed layer is in a range of 10% to 85%, the thickness of the second layer is in a range of 9% to 70%, and the thickness of the first layer is in a range of 1.5% to 15%.

8. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical conductivity of the joining body is 1×10 −1 (S/cm) or more.

9. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein the first member is a porous material.

10. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein the first member is a Si-bonded SiC material.

11. The joined body according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first member is an electrode terminal protrusion portion formed to have a convex shape or a concave shape,
the second member is a metal terminal portion which is formed so that a portion to be joined to the electrode terminal protrusion portion has a concave shape or a convex shape complementary to the shape of the electrode terminal protrusion portion, and
the joining portion electrically connects the electrode terminal protrusion portion and the metal terminal portion at a portion between the concave shape and the convex shape at which the electrode terminal protrusion portion and the metal terminal portion are engaged with each other.

12. The joined body according to claim 11 ,
wherein the electrode terminal protrusion portion and the metal terminal portion form no space between a protruding front end of the convex shape and a bottom part of the concave shape, those shapes being complementary to each other, and
the joining portion electrically connects the electrode terminal protrusion portion and the metal terminal portion at side surface portions of the concave shape and the convex shape at which the electrode terminal protrusion portion and the metal terminal portion are engaged with each other.

13. The joined body according to claim 11 , wherein the first member is a part of a honeycomb structural body including a partition wall formed of a porous ceramic which forms and defines a plurality of cells, the cells each functioning as a flow path of a fluid and extending from one end surface to the other end surface; and an outer circumference wall formed along the outermost circumference.

14. The joined body according to claim 1 ,
wherein a reaction layer having the thickness of greater than 3.0 μm is not formed at a joining interface between the joining portion and the first member,
the electrically conductive oxide contains, in addition to the Fe, at least one additive selected from Ni, Mn, Co, Cu, and Zn, and the additive is solid-dissolved in a range of 2 to 20 percent by mass in the electrically conductive oxide.

15. The joined body according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first member is an electrode terminal protrusion portion formed to have a convex shape or a concave shape,
the second member is a metal terminal portion which is formed so that a portion to be joined to the electrode terminal protrusion portion has a concave shape or a convex shape complementary to the shape of the electrode terminal protrusion portion,
the joining portion electrically connects the electrode terminal protrusion portion and the metal terminal portion at a portion between the concave shape and the convex shape at which the electrode terminal protrusion portion and the metal terminal portion are engaged with each other, and
a reaction layer having the thickness of greater than 3.0 μm is not formed at a joining interface between the joining portion and the first member.

16. The joined body according to claim 1 ,
