DIFFUSION BONDED CRYSTAL NO FURTHER A MYSTERY

The fracture conduct and fracture manner with the diffusion-bonded joints were elucidated by macro fracture and magnified surface area morphologies. The macro fracture morphologies (flat fracture) reveal that the propagation of crack occurred alongside the MEA/DD5 interface in tensile assessments with the joints achieved at 1020, 1050, and 1080 °C
