Pieces of saw-cut La0.85Sr0.15MnO3 were joined at 1150degrees and 1250degreesC under a compressive stress. The strains to form the joints were similar to0.1. Joints formed by plastic deformation were examined using scanning electron microscopy, and they were indistinguishable from the bulk. The room-temperature direct-current resistivity of the joined pieces was identical to that measured in the bulk material. This indicated that a sound, electrically conducting joint could be formed using plastic deformation (grain-boundary sliding) with little surface preparation.
