“…• bonding at lower temperatures and/or shorter times, to avoid intermetallics formation or effects on the precipitates [4], • third-material bonding interlayers, to prevent chemical reaction in some cases [28,49], or show increased chemical affinity or improved wetting [34], provide a compliant layer for stress reduction [99], etc., • composites and graded layers (FGM), consisting of the two materials to be joined (with or without another material), to replace a sharp interface with a smooth transition, and reduce the stress peak (see below), • different geometrical configurations of the surface relief (for mechanical interlocking) [30,49] or the armor (e.g. castellation/macrobrush, for improved strain tolerance) [60,6,63].…”
