LASER BEAM WELDING ELECTRONIC-COMPONENT LEADS

THE FEASIBILITY OF USING THE LIGHT BEAM FROM A LASER FOR MAKING FUSION WELDS WAS STUDIED. THESE WELDS WERE TO BE APPLICABLE TO JOINING ELECTRONIC-COMPONENT LEADS. CROSS-WIRE , CROSS-RIBBON, PARALLEL WIRE JOINTS, AND OTHER JOINT DESIGNS, ALL USING NICKEL WIRE AND RIBBON WERE TESTED. WELDS WERE EVALUATED BY VISUAL AND METALLOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION AND THE JOINT STRENGTH OF PARALLEL WIRE WELDS WAS DETERMINED. THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LASER WELDING AND RESISTANCE CROSS- WIRE WELDING WERE DISCUSSED. THE EFFECT OF THESE DIFFERENCES ON THE DESIGN OF WELDING ELECTRONIC CIRCUITY IS POINTED OUT . IT IS SUGGESTED THAT OTHER DESIGNS MORE SUITABLE FOR LASER WELDING BE DEVELOPED.
