Welder World has just released a new section of their website that has LaserWelding and basic Laser Welding tips defined and everything else on Welding and Lasers. This is part of a new community website that is all about the Laser Welding Basic Information. Members and non-members can visit this Laser Welding Tips and Basics page on the Welder World website for free at: http://www.welderworld.com/
Here is an excerpt from the new Laser Welding Tips and Basics webpage:
“Laser Welding is also called Laser Beam Welding and it is a commercial process and is used when you want to fuse together several pieces of metal. The way it works is that a laser beam is pointed to a joint and then the beam is moved along that joint. The process will melt the metals into a liquid, fuse them together, and then make them solid again.
This is generally a process that is used when you want a linear continuous seam or at times when you want spot welds in a certain area. There are basically two types of laser welding. Laser conduction welding focuses the beam on a specific area and relies on the conductivity of the metal it is melting to conduct the heat into the joint. As this happens, the material being welded changes from solid to liquid, and then they turn back into solid and they are welded.
In laser penetration welding, the laser beam is pointed into a certain area and at a stack of material that needs to be melted all together. This single location creates a space for the beam to concentrate on the specific needs of the metals to be melted. Some of this material will then vaporize and create a hole that is as thick as the material that was heated.”
