ZrB2-SiC ceramic composite was brazed by using TiZrNiCu active filler metal. The microstructure and interfacial phenomena of the joints were analysed by means of SEM, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The joining effect was evaluated by shear strength. The results showed that the reaction products of the ZrB2-SiC ceramic composite joint were TiC, ZrC, Ti5Si3, Zr2Si, Zr(s,s) and (Ti, Zr)(2) (Ni, Cu), and the microstructure was separately ZrB2-SiC/Zr(s,s)/Ti5Si3 + Zr2Si + TiC + ZrC +(Ti, Zr)(2)(Ni,Cu)/ Zr(s,s)/ZrB2-SiC. A conceptual interface evolution model was established to explain the interface evolution mechanism. The maximum shear strength of the brazed joints was 143.5 MPa at the brazing temperature T of 920 degrees C and the holding time t of 10 min.
