Wave Propagation of NanoFoil®
The NanoBond® reaction is activated at one or more points and travels throughout the material. It really is pretty interesting to watch, but you w...
Heat Dissipation During a NanoBond® Reaction
One of the best parts of using NanoFoil® to create a bond with dissimilar metals or heat sensitive components is that the heat it creates is quick...
Heat Penetration During a NanoBond® Reaction
One of the great reasons to use a localized heating method like NanoBonding is to make sure the entire assembly is not heated – only the......
Optical Activation of NanoFoil®
Lasers and fiber optic waveguides can be used to activate NanoFoil®. Why would you want to use a laser to do this? br......
NanoFoil® X and Y Dimensions
The easiest way to have NanoFoil® parts customized for your NanoBond® application is to let us cut them for you. There are......
Choosing the Best Metallization for your NanoBond® Application
Since the NanoBond® process is almost instantaneous, fluxes are not used. (They just don’t have enough time to heat up to their activation t...
Aligning NanoFoil®
I’ve spent a fair amount of time aligning NanoFoil® and parts lately, and I’ve learned that aligning the assembly uniformly in z axis...
NanoFoil® Thickness
NanoFoil® is available in various thicknesses to suit different applications. In each variation, the thickness of each Aluminum and Nickel bi-laye...
Testing Assemblies Bonded With NanoFoil®
At this point in the NanoBond® process, you should have successfully designed, setup, and activated/reacted the NanoFoil® – but how do...
