A CTE modified braze composition that can be utilized to manufacture a strong, gastight joint where at least one of the joining members comprises a ceramic (e.g., a ceramic or a cermet). The braze composition is formulated so as to reduce the thermal stress that results from the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients between a ceramic joining member and the braze or other joining members. The braze composition comprises a braze alloy in powder, paste or bulk form mixed with one or more particulate or fibrous fillers that exhibit a low (i.e., no more than 6 ppm/K) or negative coefficient of thermal expansion. The braze composition can be used to join members, at least one of which comprises ceramic, and to a composite member produced by joining the two or more members.
