Scientists at Russia’s Mendeleev Chemical Technology University (RHTU) have developed a method for laser welding different materials such as glass and metal for use in high-tech industries. In this respect RIA News reported the university’s press service.
“In connection with the steady trend towards the miniaturization of optical, analytical and electronic digital devices, one of the important and promising areas is the use of femtosecond lasers for joining parts with different properties in the production of such devices. This innovative welding method was developed at the Department of Glass and Sitall of the eponymous Russian Chemical Technical University. Mendeleev,” the message read.
As stated in the press service, the essence of the process is to focus the laser beam on a micron-sized region at the border of two connected elements, which leads to local heating and mutual diffusion of the materials. It is noted that this allows you to tightly connect even the smallest parts from different materials.
