2. Description of the Related Art A conventional method for forming a metal layer on the surface of zirconia ceramics is, for example, Mo-M which is a refractory metal.
A method of forming a metal layer by baking a metal such as n or Ni—W on the surface of ceramics at a high temperature of about 1500 ° C. is adopted. However, in this method, since high temperature is required for manufacturing, there are problems such as poor production efficiency, poor yield, and high manufacturing cost. Therefore, a method that can inexpensively and easily form a metal layer at a low temperature has been desired.

In view of such demands, as a cheap and simple method for forming a metal layer, a brazing alloy having a eutectic composition of silver and copper, which has been used conventionally for non-oxide ceramics, has been used recently. A method of forming a metal layer by brazing a metal braze containing titanium as an active metal on a ceramic surface at a low temperature of 800 ° C. to 900 ° C. has been started.

Using this method, titanium (Ti) in the wax and oxygen (O) in the zirconia react with zirconia, which is an oxide, and TiO x , which is a brittle oxide.
However, zirconium (Zr) from which oxygen has been removed is simultaneously formed as a metal layer on the ceramic surface, and the Zr metal layer and the metal braze are firmly bound to each other, so that the bonding strength is considerably higher than the practical strength (50 MPa). High metal layers can be formed.

However, according to this method, the bonding strength is not yet sufficient, and although the Zr layer and the brazing are strongly bonded, the brazing property of the brazing is poor and the brazing is hardly spread during brazing. A large residual stress is generated between the ceramics and the metal solder.
For this reason, there is a problem that due to the large residual stress generated, a crack is gradually formed in a weak portion of the interface between the ceramics and the solder with the passage of time, and the bonding strength between the ceramics and the solder is greatly reduced with time.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for inexpensively and easily forming a metal layer in which the bonding strength is less likely to decrease even after the lapse of time.

As is clear from Table 1, in the examples, the area of the solder after brazing is considerably larger than the area of the first solder (28.3 mm 2 ), and therefore the bonding strength immediately after bonding is Practical strength (50MP)
It goes without saying that a joined body sufficiently satisfying the requirement a) has been obtained, and even after one month has passed, the joint strength does not decrease so much that the practical strength is satisfied. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, since the temperature for the heat treatment was low, TiC and TiN were not generated on the ceramic surface, and the same results as in the case where the heat treatment was not performed were obtained. The strength obtained was slightly higher than the practical strength, but the strength was remarkably reduced after one month, and satisfactory results were not obtained. Further, in Comparative Example 2, since the heating atmosphere is not a nitrogen atmosphere, this also has the same result as in the case where no heat treatment is performed.
