Abstract
The study of Ag/Al2O3 interfaces achieved by solid state bonding shows that silver diffuses in alumina during the joining process and later annealings. This diffusion, particularly, along grain boundaries, is c orrelated to the decrease of the toughness of alumina observed at the same time close to the metal-ceramic interface.
