“…Among different brazing processes 16) , laser brazing 10,11,13) has good characteristics for use as a dissimilar joining process in comparison with conventional furnace brazing 8,12) because of advantages such as a short heating time, small heating area, suppression of damage to the base materials, and not requiring a furnace. Therefore, we tried to develop a laser brazing process of ceramics and metals that can be carried out using simple equipment, and an easy system of controlling the atmosphere in a short heating time, without expensive equipment such as a high-vacuum system.…”
