A method of bonding two carbon/carbon composite pieces or a carbon/carbon composite piece and a graphite/aluminum metal matrix composite piece together by (1) forming a uniform coating of molten AgNO3 on the surfaces to be bonded at a temperature above the melting point of AgNO3 but below the decomposition temperature of AgNO3; (2) placing the molten AgNO3 coated surfaces to be bonded into contact with each other; (3) decomposing the molten AgNO3 to form a silver metal layer bonding the pieces together. If a graphite/aluminum metal matrix composite piece is being bonded, a silver diffusion step may be added at the end of the process to strengthen the silver bond to the metal cladding or metal matrix of the metal matrix composite piece.
