How laser micro welding works

At its core, laser micro welding is a welding possess that utilizes a focused laser beam to join small components with extreme accuracy. Unlike traditional welding methods that often involve heat-intensive processes, such as arc welding or gas welding, laser micro welding operates on a different principle, harnessing the power of coherent light to melt and fuse materials together. 

The different possible applications

One of the key advantages of laser micro welding is its ability to achieve high-quality welds in materials with varying compositions and thicknesses. Whether it’s dissimilar metals, thermoplastics, or even fragile materials like glass or ceramics, laser micro melding offers a level of precision that is unmatched by other, conventional, welding techniques. 

The benefits of laser micro welding

One of the most important features of laser micro welding is its minimal heat-affected zone (HAZ). Unlike other welding methods that can cause deformation, warping, or material damage due to excessive heat, laser micro welding minimizes thermal impact on the surrounding area. 

Efficiency and cost-effectiveness

Laser micro welding also offers practical benefits. It offers unmatched repeatability and consistency, ensuring that each weld meets the highest standard or quality and reliability. This is critical in industries where precision is non-negotiable, such as medical device manufacturing or aerospace engineering, where the smallest defect could have significant consequences. 

The future of laser micro welding

Technology is constantly developing, and so do the potential applications of laser micro welding. From microelectronics and microfluidics to jewelry and dental prosthetics, this technique knows no boundaries. Laser micro welding is on its way to becoming the forefront of innovation.

Stability of rings of atoms in glass materials can help predict performance of glass products

Glass is being used in a wider range of high-performance applications, including those for consumers and industry, military and aerospace electronics, coatings and optics. Because of the extreme precision demanded for use in products such as mobile phones and jet aircraft, glass substrates must not change their shape during the manufacturing process. Corning Incorporated, a manufacturer of innovative glass, ceramics and related materials, invests a tremendous amount of resources into studying the stability of different types of glass. Recently, Corning researchers found that understanding the stability of the rings of atoms in glass materials can help them predict the performance of glass products. This capability is important because the most widely used glass is silicate glass, which consists of different sizes of atomic rings connected in three dimensions. Conducting neutron scattering experiments at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, ORNL and Corning scientists discovered that as the number of smaller, less-stable atomic rings in a glass increases, the instability, or liquid fragility, of the glass also increases.

Aluminum LED PCBs stand out among other PCBs because it has a good insulation characteristic and has a better machinery performance, the cheap cost is one important factor too.

Types of layers for LED PCB Assembly

Normally, the base layer is made using aluminum alloy metal.

This aluminum alloy substrate used in making the base makes it ideal for through-hole technology which transfers and dissipates heat.

A thermal insulation layer is made using some ceramic polymer which has good viscoelasticity characteristics.

It is highly heat resistant and protects the PCB against heat and mechanical stress.

The circuit layer, which is covered by a copper foil which can range from one to ten ounces.

LED Board type- single or in panel

Some boards are shapeless. For this reason, LED PCB panels are used. This reduces time, labor production and testing time.

Some LED PCB Assembly is done on a single board while others are done on panel boards.

LED PCB Assembly Process

Roughly, the PCBA process can be divided into theses phases: soldering paste printing > SMT (surface mounted technology) > reflow soldering > AOI (automated optical inspection)> THT (through-hole technology) > wave soldering > touch-up and cleaning > IC-programming > FCT (functional tests) > aging testing.

Magnesium oxide ceramics

Magnesium oxide is widely used as an industrial refractory material because its melting point is almost the highest among common oxides, about 2800℃, which is higher than common refractory materials such as zirconium oxide (about 2700℃) and aluminum oxide (about 2050℃). In addition to its high melting point, magnesium oxide also has other advantages, such as good chemical stability, and is not easy to react with metals when used for alloy casting; magnesium oxide is prone to hydration reaction, especially in the presence of acid, it will dissolve quickly; magnesium oxide has a stable structure and good high-temperature thermal insulation performance... With various advantages, magnesium oxide has been developed into refractory materials such as crucibles for melting metals, ceramic cores for metal casting, thermocouple sleeves, and electric heating tubes, while other properties and uses have been ignored.

In recent years, due to the increasing requirements of modern industrial technology for materials, some other excellent properties of magnesium oxide ceramics have gradually attracted people's attention, especially microwave dielectric properties and optical properties.

1. Microwave dielectric properties. Magnesium oxide ceramics are very excellent low-dielectric microwave dielectric materials with extremely low dielectric loss. Their dielectric constant is about 9, and tanδ<1.6×10-6, which is comparable to or even better than the microwave dielectric properties of the most commonly used alumina ceramics. More importantly, the sintering temperature of alumina ceramics is relatively high, usually above 1500°C. Although liquid phase sintering greatly reduces the sintering temperature, the microwave dielectric properties will also deteriorate. In contrast, magnesium oxide microwave dielectric ceramics can be obtained at very low temperatures. For example, someone added 4% LiF to MgO and sintered it at 950°C to obtain magnesium oxide microwave dielectric ceramics with good microwave dielectric properties. Its dielectric constant is 9.6, and the Q×f value can reach 282230GHz. By extending the insulation time, its Q×f value can even be greatly increased to 751500GHz. Considering that the density of magnesium oxide is also lower than that of alumina, and its thermal conductivity is good (the thermal conductivity of pure magnesium oxide is about 55W/m·K), it can be expected that it should have good application prospects as a substrate material.

2. Optical properties. As an inorganic non-metal with a face-centered cubic structure, magnesium oxide crystals are transparent, and their linear transmittance under visible light exceeds 80%. Therefore, through appropriate sintering processes, magnesium oxide ceramics can obtain higher transparency. For example, someone used SPS technology to obtain transparent 0.02at%Yb-doped magnesium oxide ceramics at 1100℃/60min, and its linear transparency under visible light exceeded 70%. Another special feature of magnesium oxide transparent ceramics is that the wavelength range of transmission is very wide, and the transmittance is higher at infrared wavelengths. For example, someone prepared 1%LiF-doped magnesium oxide ceramics, and its light transmittance exceeded 80% in the wavelength range of 2000-6000nm, and the highest was about 86%, which is not much lower than the current magnesium aluminum spinel with too high infrared transmittance. Another feature of transparent magnesium oxide is that it is relatively easy to prepare. We know that under pressureless conditions, transparent aluminum oxide often needs to be sintered at a high temperature of about 1800℃ in a hydrogen furnace to obtain it. In comparison, it is much easier to prepare transparent magnesium oxide. For example, someone used nano-magnesium oxide powder as raw material, sintered it at 1400℃ in an ordinary muffle furnace for 2 hours, and obtained translucent magnesium oxide with a density of 98.1%. Therefore, we can reasonably infer that transparent magnesium oxide ceramics have the potential to become high-performance infrared window materials.

Number of layers for LED PCB

These layers are made up of aluminum and magnesium, but now have Copper base material  and Ceramic base materials for LED PCB industry, we can meet it.

Aluminum LED PCBs stand out among other PCBs because it has a good insulation characteristic and has a better machinery performance, the cheap cost is one important factor too.

Types of layers for LED PCB Assembly

Normally, the base layer is made using aluminum alloy metal.

This aluminum alloy substrate used in making the base makes it ideal for through-hole technology which transfers and dissipates heat.

A thermal insulation layer is made using some ceramic polymer which has good viscoelasticity characteristics.

It is highly heat resistant and protects the PCB against heat and mechanical stress.

The circuit layer, which is covered by a copper foil which can range from one to ten ounces.

LED Board type- single or in panel

Some boards are shapeless. For this reason, LED PCB panels are used. This reduces time, labor production and testing time.

Some LED PCB Assembly is done on a single board while others are done on panel boards.

LED PCB Assembly Process

Roughly, the PCBA process can be divided into theses phases: soldering paste printing > SMT (surface mounted technology) > reflow soldering > AOI (automated optical inspection)> THT (through-hole technology) > wave soldering > touch-up and cleaning > IC-programming > FCT (functional tests) > aging testing. 

Below we show you the process.

Step1. Summarizing Project Information

Before contacting your supplier, make sure you have all the project information. Suppliers will need info following for quoting LED PCB assembly:

Gerber

BOM

LED PCB specification

Quotation quantity

Once you have gathered these information, you can contact us and request for a quote.

Of course, you can also provide the schematic, LED PCB Assembly pictures and even samples to us. The more details they have, the more accurate the supplier’s quotation will be.

Step2. Discussion and details about custom LED PCB Assembly

Different projects will have different requirements. Remember the special requirements mentioned in step 1? That’s going to be the focus of this session. Equipment and engineering capacity will not be identical between suppliers. Make sure your supplier has the equipment to produce and assemble major components and the corresponding testing capabilities.

For example, some vendors don’t have X-ray testing equipment, which means they can’t check the mount quality of BGA chips. Outsourcing this step will increase risk and cost. That’s what you don’t want.

Also, pay attention to time taken by the supplier to quote. Motherboards often contain hundreds or even thousands of components, and they are supplied by different manufacturers. To ensure the quality of the components, the supplier sourcing team will make multi-inquiries from these manufacturers or authorized suppliers to match customer’s requirement, which usually takes 2-3 business days, and even longer for some scarce chips. Therefore, if your project is complex and the supplier quotes you within few hours, double check with them.

Step3. Sample and feedback

After confirming the PI, the supplier will usually provide pre-production samples for your approval. At the same time, the supplier will also confirm with you the logistics plan of the bulk goods. Make sure they understand your shipping requirements, including details on packaging, customs clearance, taxes, etc.

For us to have a successful LED PCB Assembly process, its functions must be defined. Compliance requirement is defined to reduce the effect when components are selected.

The Bill of Materials is then generated from the information installed on the LED PCB.

All this information is used to assemble components which are identified from MOB to the LED PCB.

After that, the routing of traces is determined to each component, based on the size, shape of the circuit board and location of connectors.

Hitech Circuits is trusted by thousands of electronic engineers on their LED PCB assembly projects, from consumer, led bulb to precisely medical LED light, we can help you from the beginning of design stage; From commercial flood LED to industrial high power LED, from automotive LED to military LED, Venture is the perfect place for your LED PCB assembly requirement.
