LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT DIFFUSION BONDED CRYSTAL.

The fracture behavior and fracture manner of the diffusion-bonded joints were elucidated by macro fracture and magnified floor morphologies. The macro fracture morphologies (flat fracture) show that the propagation of crack transpired together the MEA/DD5 interface in tensile assessments on the joints realized at 1020, 1050, and 1080 °C (Figure 8a
