Laser welding uses a focused laser beam to melt and fuse materials into a single unit. Suitable for a wide range of metals and plastics, this technique delivers precise, narrow welds with significant depth. Unlike laser cutting, which removes material, laser welding aims to preserve as much material as possible within the weld. A shielding gas prevents oxidation while maintaining an undisturbed weld pool.
Compared to traditional methods like MIG/MAG and TIG welding, laser welding offers unmatched precision, control, and reproducibility, without the need for melting electrodes. Thanks to recent advancements, laser welding is rapidly gaining popularity as an alternative to conventional welding techniques.
