Fracture behavior in inhomogeneous brazed joints: Microstructural effects on peeling crack propagation

Key Points

• Peeling crack propagation was notably influenced by the microstructural effects observed.
• Significant differences in crack behavior were noted across various joint compositions, with key metrics highlighted.
• Analysis conducted on inhomogeneous brazed joints assessed microstructural influences on crack behavior.
• Understanding these mechanisms may improve the design of brazed joints in engineering applications.
