Laser welding is a process that join two or more material together through the use of laser beam. Laser welding uses a highly concentrated beam of light on a very tiny spot so that area under the laser beam absorbs the light and becomes highly energetic. When the electrons in the area get excited, the material melts as the result of atoms breaking bonds with each other. Laser welding is use for materials that are difficult to weld using traditional welding technique including welding of dissimilar type of metal.
Laser welding is widely use and popular in the following industries:
Laser welding is precise and it can be used to weld smallest parts together without causing any damage to material.
Consistent and repeatable welds are main reason why industries choose laser welding over traditional welding methods.
The whole welding process can be easily automated.
