Laser welding process for attaching metal to ceramic substrate

A metal sheet is attached to a ceramic substrate utilizing a weld pad formed of tungsten layer that is preformed onto the substrate and features a faying surface coated with a gold film. The sheet is superposed onto the gold film and scanned with a laser beam to fuse the sheet and the gold, without...

Zusammenfassung:A metal sheet is attached to a ceramic substrate utilizing a weld pad formed of tungsten layer that is preformed onto the substrate and features a faying surface coated with a gold film. The sheet is superposed onto the gold film and scanned with a laser beam to fuse the sheet and the gold, without fusing the tungsten, thereby avoiding spalling of the metal and microcracking of the ceramic.
