Precise control of the laser beam offers users several benefits over TIG, MIG and spot-welding:
·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.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.
·Deformation: Parts have minimul deformity or shrink.
·No contact: No physical contact between the material and laser head.
·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.
