Institute of Joining Technology and Materials Testing, Jena, Meuselwitz, GermanyAbstract
The Institute of Joining Technology and Materials Testing is active in studies of different joining methods (diffusion bonding, brazing, soldering, adhesive bonding, laser welding, etc.) aimed at producing permanent joints in different materials with low residual strains. They include optical and technical glasses (silicon glass, infrared materials, borosilicate glass, VK7), glass ceramics with low thermal expansion (CERAN, CERODUR), crystals (sapphire, CaF2, MgF2), high-temperature ceramics (A12O3, SiC), and metals (unalloyed and alloyed steels, precious metals, magnesium and titanium alloys, non-ferrous metals).
Keywords: technologies of permanent joining, diffusion bonding, soldering, brazing, laser welding, glass, glass ceramics, ceramics, crystals, metals
