Abstract:
Welding of transparent material in electronic devices. An electronic device (100) may include an enclosure (102) having at least one aperture formed through a portion of the enclosure (102). The electronic device (100) may also include a component (104) positioned within the aperture formed through the portion of the enclosure. The component (104) may be laser welded to the aperture formed through the enclosure. Additionally, the component (104) may include transparent material. A method for securing a component within an electronic device (100) may include providing an electronic device enclosure including at least one aperture, and positioning a component (104) within the aperture formed through the enclosure. The component (104) positioned within the aperture may include a transparent material. The method may also include welding the component (104) to the electronic device enclosure.
Abstract:
To eliminate galvanic corrosion, a housing includes a clad material. The clad material includes an interior metal disposed within an exterior metal. The exterior metal is different from the interior metal. The housing further includes a clad interface and a melt interface. The melt interface includes a layer of hardened flux disposed on a portion of the interior metal.
