A tubular composite member (1) with two ends (2 A,B) for connecting ceramic components (3) made of a composite comprising an inorganic matrix reinforced with inorganic fibers is provided with an at least partially threaded internal surface (4) and an external surface (6). Further, a ceramic member (3) with at least one surface (8) provided with at least one annular groove (9) comprising an inner shell surface (10), an outer shell surface (11) and a root (12), wherein the inner shell surface (10) is at least partially threaded, is provided. Further, a ceramic member (3) assembly comprising at least two ceramic members (3) being connected by at least one tubular composite member (1), whereas the ends (2 A, B) of said tubular composite member (1) are screwed into either corresponding annular groove (9) of two adjacent ceramic members (3), is provided. The such fastened/ joined ceramic members (3) can be operated at high temperatures (above 1000°C) especially under thermal cycling and/or thermal shock conditions as well as dynamic mechanical load in different directions. Further, methods to manufacture tubular composite members (1) according to this invention are provided. |
