The present disclosure provides methods for preparing an extruded product from a solid billet. The methods can include providing an as-cast billet for extrusion; applying a simultaneous rotational shear and axial extrusion force to the as-cast billet to plasticize the as-cast billet; and extruding the plasticized as-cast billet with an extrusion die to form an extruded product. Methods for preparing extruded products from billets can also include: providing a billet for extrusion; while maintaining a majority of the billet below 100° C., applying a simultaneous rotational shear and axial extrusion force to one end of the billet to plasticize the one end of the billet; and extruding the plasticized one end of the billet with an extrusion die to form an extruded product. Methods for preparing an extruded product from a billet can also include providing a billet for extrusion; applying a simultaneous rotational shear and axial extrusion force to the billet to plasticize the billet; extruding the plasticized billet with an extrusion die to form an extruded product; and artificially aging the extruded product for less than the ASTM recommended amount of time.

A process for room temperature substrate bonding employs a first substrate substantially transparent to a laser wavelength is selected. A second substrate for mating at an interface with the first substrate is then selected. A transmissivity change at the interface is created and the first and second substrates are mated at the interface. The first substrate is then irradiated with a laser of the transparency wavelength substantially focused at the interface and a localized high temperature at the interface from energy supplied by the laser is created. The first and second substrates immediately adjacent the interface are softened with diffusion across the interface to fuse the substrates.

A component joining apparatus, which can realize positioning between a component and a substrate with high accuracy by avoiding influence of thermal expansion of the substrate at the time of joining the component to the substrate by heating at a high temperature, includes a component supply head holding a component and a heating stage heating and holding a substrate, in which a heating region where the heating stage contacts the substrate includes a joining region of the substrate in which the component is joined, and the substrate is larger than the heating stage and a peripheral part of the substrate does not contact the heating stage.

A bonded body is a bonded body in which a first metal member is bonded to a second metal member, where the first metal member is formed of a material having a hardness higher than that of the second metal member. The bonded body has a structure in which the second metal member is inserted into a protruded and recessed portion formed on a bonding surface of the first metal member, and the bonded body has a region in which the first metal member is in direct contact with the second metal member, and a gap between the first metal member and the second metal member is filled with a resin material.

A manufacturing method for a printed circuit board includes: passing a first laser beam output from a laser output device through a first aperture so as to define an outer diameter of the first laser beam, positioning the first laser beam by an optical axis positioning device including a galvano device and an fθ lens, and irradiating the printed circuit board with the first laser beam such that a through-hole is formed in a copper layer; and passing a second laser beam output from the laser output device through a second aperture so as to define an outer diameter of the second laser beam whereby a diameter of the second aperture is smaller than a diameter of the first aperture, positioning the second laser beam by the optical axis positioning device, and irradiating the printed circuit board with the second laser beam such that an insulating layer is processed.
