“…In general, the underlying scientific principles for properly selecting contact materials and developing bonding techniques are still limited. Several elemental metallic contacts, such as Cu, ,, Ag, ,, Ni, ,,, and Al, − have been tried to achieve chemically and thermally stable joints on binary magnesium–silicon using different processing techniques. Few reported studies emphasized the use of binary ,, and ternary compounds to overcome the chemical reactivity of elemental metallic contacts.…”
