A C02 laser beam was used for welding Si02-A12@ ceramic tubes with 60wt% alumina content. To prevent weld cracking a preheating process with radiant energy produced by halogen lamps and collected by reflectors was used. Several evaluation techniques like helium checking, Vickers indentation and flexural resistance were employed to study weldzone characteristics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
