Laser micro-welding offers the capability to join a variety of transparent materials, including combinations of transparent and non-transparent substances, such as glass-to-glass or glass-to-metal. Unlike bonding processes, it requires no additional materials, resulting in reduced costs and improved durability. Once resolidified, the process forms strong covalent bonds, ensuring high stability of the connected components.
Key advantages of this process include its high precision, excellent mechanical strength, hermetic sealing, and minimal heat-affected zones without the need for extra bonding materials.
