Abstract

A joint for joining a ceramic shaft to a metal sleeve includes a gap separating the outer surface of the ceramic shaft from the inner surface of an overlapping portion of a metal sleeve. A brazing filler material is provided in only the portion of the gap proximate the end of the ceramic shaft to accommodate stresses caused by the different thermal characteristics of the metal sleeve and the ceramic shaft.
