Direct joining of sapphire and Invar alloy by nanosecond laser
The direct joining of single-crystal sapphire and Invar alloy using a nanosecond laser is demonstrated for the first time in this study. The macro- and microstructures of the sapphire/Invar alloy joints were analyzed, along with an investigation of their compositional characteristics. Based on this, the effects of nanosecond laser processing parameters on the joint’s macro- and microstructures and its mechanical performance were explored. The typical fracture morphologies of the sapphire/Invar alloy joints were examined, revealing the fracture mechanisms involved. The laser-irradiated area exhibited a conical molten zone, predominantly composed of sapphire with a small amount of Invar alloy particles. No new phases were detected in the joint region, and the primary joining mechanism was identified as mechanical interlocking and embedding. After optimizing the nanosecond laser welding parameters, the joint’s shear strength reached 123.2 MPa. Additionally, the sealed sapphire/Invar alloy samples welded by nanosecond laser passed a 336-hour water resistance test without any leakage. The mechanical interlocking effect generated by the conical weld seam structure in the laser-irradiated area played a key role in enhancing shear strength.
期刊介绍:
Materials and Design is a multi-disciplinary journal that publishes original research reports, review articles, and express communications. The journal focuses on studying the structure and properties of inorganic and organic materials, advancements in synthesis, processing, characterization, and testing, the design of materials and engineering systems, and their applications in technology. It aims to bring together various aspects of materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry.
The journal explores themes ranging from materials to design and aims to reveal the connections between natural and artificial materials, as well as experiment and modeling. Manuscripts submitted to Materials and Design should contain elements of discovery and surprise, as they often contribute new insights into the architecture and function of matter.
