Cracking investigation of Nd:YAG laser welded gold plated glass sealing alloys

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5769246

Nd:TAG laser butt-lap joint welds were evaluated to determine the maximum gold plating thickness allowable on two glass-sealing alloys without causing weld cracks. The plate thickness was .012 in. Weld penetration ranged from .010 to .015 in. Crack analyses included scanning electron microscope, metallography, scanning Auger, and electron probe micro-analyzer. It was determined that 50 {mu}in. of gold plating is an acceptable upper limit.
