Abstract:
A process for adjusting a device including a first piece and at least one second piece, wherein the at least one second piece is fixed to the first piece by a joint made from a first material arranged between the first and second piece. The first material is an at least partially amorphous metal alloy. The process further includes: heating at least the joint to a heating temperature in a range of between a glass transition temperature and a crystallization temperature of the first material; modifying a position of the at least one second piece until a desired determined position is obtained; cooling at least the joint so that it retains its at least partially amorphous state.
