BENEFITS OF LASER WELDING
- Minimum heat input, resulting in minimal distortion of the component;
- Consistent, repeatable welds;
- Small heat affected zone (HAZ);
- Narrow weld bead with good cosmetic appearance;
- High strength welds;
- Easily automated;
- High degree of accuracy and control;
- Ability to weld dissimilar materials;
- Flexibility of beam manipulation, including fiber-optic delivery;
- Ability to weld in areas difficult to reach with other techniques;
- Often faster than other techniques with greater throughput;
