Method of bonding a ceramic article to a metal article
 A new and improved method of bonding a bonded ceramic-metal article is described. The ceramic-metal article comprises a ceramic article, such as a lanthana-strengthened yttria article, bonded to a metal article, such as niobium, by a layer of a brazing material, such as a brazing alloy consisting essentially of 63% by weight silver, 35.25% by weight copper, and 1.75% by weight titanium to form a bonded ceramic-metal article. The method of bonding the ceramic article to the metal article comprises placing the brazing alloy between the lanthana-strengthened yttria article and the niobium article and heating the layered structure in vacuum at about 50 degrees centigrade above the liquids temperature of the brazing alloy for a period of about 5 minutes.
