The invention relates to a method for producing a roughing tool (1), particularly a circular milling tool, comprising the following steps: fitting a lateral surface of a tool base body (10) that can be rotatably driven about an axis of rotation (2) with a number of cutting element blanks (20′) that are staggered in the axial and/or peripheral direction, such that a free edge of each cutting element blank (20′) protrudes out of the lateral surface in the mounted state; inserting a microtoothing comprising a plurality of axially spaced cutting teeth (21) into the respective free edges of the cutting element blanks (20′) by a material removal method, preferably by thermal machining, particularly preferably by eroding, in the premounted state on the tool base body (10). The invention further relates to a roughing tool produced by means of such a method.

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.

Systems and methods for machining openings of a component are provided. In one exemplary aspect, a laser system includes features for machining an opening into a component, such as a cooling hole for a CMC component of a gas turbine engine. The component can be oriented in a first position and lasered while oriented in the first position to form a portion of the opening. The component is then oriented to a second position and lasered while oriented in the second position to form another portion of the opening. The component is alternated between the first and second positions until the predetermined geometry of the opening is formed. The component is oriented in the first and second positions such that the laser beam can machine the component without clipping areas that are not desired to be machined.

A solder material (30) for bonding a metal layer (20) to a ceramic layer (10), in particular for forming a metal-ceramic substrate as a carrier for electrical components, comprising: a base material and an active metal, wherein the solder material (30) is a foil comprising the base material in a first layer (31) and the active metal in a second layer (32), and wherein the foil has a total thickness (GD) which is less than 50 μm, preferably less than 25 μm and particularly preferably less than 15 μm.
