Laser hole sealing of commercially pure grade 1 titanium

Hermetically sealed Ti capsules filled with electrolyte solutions are required in many medical device applications. The laser hole sealing process is well suited for this type of application. There is, however, a lack of understanding of the laser hole sealing mechanism, especially in the presence of an electrolyte medium. In this study, the mechanism of the laser hole sealing process was investigated by characterizing the surface morphology …
