Electron Beam Welding Copper to Stainless Steel for the Semiconductor Industry

In the fast-evolving semiconductor industry, where thermal management, material purity and component reliability are paramount, manufacturers are increasingly turning to advanced material combinations. One pairing, copper to stainless steel, has gained widespread use in heat dissipation, packaging and structural applications. With its vacuum environment, pinpoint energy control and deep penetration capability, EBW enables the repeatable, high-strength joining of copper and stainless steel components, making it the process of choice for semiconductor OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.

Welding for the New Space Economy: EBW & Laser Sealing for Mission-Critical Components

The aerospace industry is undergoing a transformation. As commercial space ventures expand, national defense initiatives become increasingly complex and satellite constellations proliferate, the need for high-reliability components is more urgent than ever. This shift—often referred to as the New Space Economy—demands a new standard of manufacturing agility and performance.

Why Laser Hermetic Sealing is Mission-Critical for Small Satellite and UAV Electronics

The aerospace and defense industries are rapidly shifting toward compact, agile platforms. Small satellites are revolutionizing surveillance, communication, navigation and space exploration. Conventional sealing methods such as epoxy or mechanical gaskets often fall short, especially when mission-critical reliability is required. This is where laser hermetic sealing becomes essential.
