Crack defects in ceramic welding are a significant challenge in electronic packaging that requires urgent resolution. In this study, fiber laser-based welding was employed to join 1 mm thick Al2O3 ceramic plates. The investigation focused on weld surface formation, crack defects, and performance attributes across varying heat input and preheating temperatures. The findings indicate a propensity for crack initiation at the weld center or within the base material during Al2O3 ceramic laser welding. Nonetheless, the susceptibility to cracking in A...
