A SIMPLE KEY FOR DIFFUSION BONDED CRYSTAL UNVEILED

The fracture actions and fracture mode on the diffusion-bonded joints were elucidated by macro fracture and magnified area morphologies. The macro fracture morphologies (flat fracture) reveal the propagation of crack occurred along the MEA/DD5 interface in tensile checks of the joints realized at 1020, 1050, and 1080 °C (Figure 8a–c). The magnif
