<p style="margin-bottom: 1rem;">When dissimilar alloys meet at a weld or braze interface, thermal expansion mismatch creates shear stress at the junction. Below a critical interface thickness, the bond fails catastrophically via cold-weld fracture. Above it, the graded zone absorbs strain through controlled dislocation motion.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><strong>Target:</strong> Compute the minimum diffusion zone thickness that prevents fracture under operational thermal cycling.</p>
