Abstract We have developed a test, based on a modified applied moment double cantilever beam specimen, to measure the fracture toughness of brazed joints between ceramics and ceramics and metals. Evaluation of samples directly brazed with experimental brazing filler metals showed that the brazed interfaces were generally as tough as the ceramics alone, with toughness increasing proportionally to the toughness of the ceramics. Although the specimen and techniques have so far been used only for direct brazes (no surface pretreatment of the ceramic), we suggest that they would also be valid for joints involving metallization of the ceramics prior to brazing.
