The brittle IMC layers and Mg-rich Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> trigger crack initiation, serving as the primary fracture mechanism. The development of the P {011} &lt;122&gt; texture, coupled with sparse dislocations that initiate and propagate cracks, serves as the secondary fracture mechanism of the joint. The Schmid factor is linked to frictional heat, while the Taylor factor is associated with grain deformation and the formation of IMCs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":385,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Engineering: A","volume":"943 ","pages":"Article 148771"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144580433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
