frangible vs fragile
What's the difference? Do we use them interchangeably?

No.
'Frangible' is a very rare word which is never used in non-technical contexts. I suspect that the vast majority of English native speakers have no idea what it means.
'Fragile' is an everyday word which means delicate or easily damaged.
