Laser welding

This pioneering technology has revolutionized the manufacturing industry. It is a precise and efficient method of joining two parts that is widely used in various industries, such as medical implants or components for the aerospace and automotive industries.

Laser welding technology

The process begins by generating an intense and concentrated heat source on the machine tool. The laser beam is then directed to a surface where its energy is absorbed, causing local heating. The melting then creates the weld. It is important to note that heating control is ensured by special optical systems such as guide lenses and mirrors. They guarantee the stability of the weld.

Laser welding work can be carried out in a normal atmosphere without the need for a vacuum. Usually, an inert gas such as argon is used to protect the bath from oxidation. However, this interaction causes metal vaporization and changes in the laser path, which in turn affects the quality of the processing.

The light streams have certain characteristics:

• coherence;
• monochromaticity;
• directionality.

Coherent waves create a constant phase difference, and monochromaticity guarantees a narrow width of the radiation spectrum.

In general, laser metal welding is an important tool in material processing, which provides high accuracy, efficiency and reliability of connecting parts.
