Popis: Silicon-nitride (Si3N4) components were joined under vacuum at 1100 °C for 10 min using Si–Mg composite fillers with Mg contents (XMg) that ranged from 0 at.% to 59 at.%. The Si3N4/Si3N4 joints were fabricated via Si layer formation at the joint interface; the molten Si–Mg liquid was transformed into a solid Si layer after Mg-evaporation-induced isothermal solidification. The joint tensile strength at room temperature increased considerably when XMg exceeded the liquidus composition of 37 at.% because of the enhanced densification/thinning of the Si layer. In these cases, some Mg atoms reacted with Si3N4 to form a fine-grained MgSiN2-based layer, whereas relatively large (>0.1 μm) and smaller MgO precipitates (
