What is handheld laser welding?
Handheld laser welding machine features the best fiber laser beam, high welding speed and high quality welding seam without consumables. The handheld laser welder is used for welding carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, iron, silver, gold, and more sheet metals and metal tubes.
What can be welded with a laser welder?
Laser beam welding is a versatile procedure as you can use it to weld stainless steel, aluminum, HSLA steel, carbon steel, and titanium. However, when laser welding carbon steel, you’ll have an issue with cracking because of the high cooling rate.
Is laser welding real?
Laser welding is a process used to join together metals or thermoplastics using a laser beam to form a weld.
Are laser welders any good?
Laser welding offers travel speeds that can be five to ten times faster than TIG welding and three to five times faster than MIG welding in some applications. It’s also a good alternative to resistance spot welding in many applications.
Is laser welding as strong as MIG welding?
Hansen added that laser’s ability to penetrate deeply into material multiplies its advantage over traditional welding. Because not only is laser three to ten times faster than MIG (and even faster compared to TIG), it can weld relatively thick joints that would require multiple passes with MIG or TIG.
Can you laser weld aluminum?
Laser beam welding is one of our most popular services for welding aluminum. The process is ideal for fast, clean welds. The heat affected zone is minimized and weld penetration can range up to 0.25” in aluminum.
