3 Aspects You Should Know Before Buying a Laser Welding System for Your Business

Laser welding system is now popular to expand or upgrade laser industries.

Especially when working work laser marking and laser cutting.

To help you learn more about laser welding, here 3 aspects about its introduction, advantages and applications.

1. Laser Welding VS Traditional Welding Methods

Laser welding is capable of welding tasks beyond the capability of traditional welding methods.

However, such traditional welding methods require skill and dexterity.

Despite their controllability, may suffer from several disadvantages.

Laser welding is an excellent substitute that frequently outperforms arc welding processes.

And its tightly focused beam limits heating effects.

Welding is conducted by firing a series of short pulses that melt the metal to create a high-quality weld.

Depending upon the particular welding task,people require  filler material as with TIG welding.

2. Laser Welding Advantages

Precise control of the laser beam offers users several benefits when using laser welding system:

• Weld strength: The laser weld is narrow with an excellent depth-to-width ratio and higher strength.
• Heat affected zone: The heat affected zone is limited, and due to rapid cooling, the surrounding material is not annealed.
• Metals: Lasers successfully weld carbon steel, high strength steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and precious metals as well as dissimilar materials.
• Precision work: The small, tightly controlled laser beam permits accurate micro-welding of miniature components.
• Deformation: laser welded parts have minimal deformity or shrink.
• No contact: No physical contact between the material and laser head during welding process.
• One sided welding: Laser welding can replace spot welding requiring access from one side only.
• Scrap: Laser welding is controllable and generates low volumes of scrap.

Besides,laser welding system can solve many engineering problems.

Especially with regard to components that are sensitive to the effect of excessive heat input, susceptible to distortion, or that require extremely precise welding.
