Composite Laser Ceramics by Advanced Bonding Technology

Composite Laser Ceramics by Advanced Bonding Technology

Composites obtained by bonding materials with the same crystal structure and different chemical compositions can create new functions that do not exist in conventional concepts. We have succeeded in bonding polycrystalline YAG and Nd:YAG ceramics without any interstices at the bonding interface, and the bonding state of this composite was at the atomic level, similar to the grain boundary struc...

Ceramics Bonding Using Solder Glass Frit

Ceramics bonding is becoming an important technology and has found wide applications in different engineering and electronic industries. In this paper, furnace bonding of ceramics using solder glass frit was investigated with emphasis on the effects of surface treatment and bonding conditions on bonding strength. Alumina (Al2O3) sheet and SCHOTT solder glass G017-393 were used as the base and b...

Direct Laser Sintering of Ceramics

For more than one decade layer manufacturing technologies assist the development of new products. Due to a layer-wise build-up of a three-dimensional geometry, nearly every complex design is producible in a short period of time. Selective Laser Sintering is a powderbased technique to produce plastic prototypes (Rapid Prototyping) or metal mould inserts (Rapid Tooling). The laser sintering of ce...
