Abstract: A method comprising the steps of: positioning a sealing area of one body near a matching sealing area of another body such that a gap at least partially separates the two sealing areas; initially transferring energy locally to material of a specified one of the bodies along part of the gap while the bodies are in a non-vacuum environment to cause material of the bodies to bridge that part of the gap and partially seal the bodies together along the sealing areas; and subsequently transferring energy locally to material of the specified body along the remainder of the gap while the bodies are in a vacuum environment to cause material of the bodies to bridge the remainder of the gap and complete sealing of the bodies together along the sealing areas.
