Laser welding is a modern technology that creates strong and indestructible connections of components. The technology is suitable for a wide range of materials. From ferrous and non-ferrous metals to some plastics. Ceramics, glass and other materials where high temperature gradients result in cracks are not suitable.
Advantages of laser welding
Compared to conventional methods (MIG/MAG, TIG), laser welding offers:
- higher process speed,
- lower thermal impact on the surrounding material,
- more economical operation,
- possibility of welding even in hard-to-reach places,
- easy automation and precise process control.
The disadvantage is the higher purchase price and the necessity to observe the exact dimensional tolerances of the semi-finished products. In series production, however, the investment is quickly recouped through significant process speed and energy savings.
