Laser welding
The principle of laser welding is simple: a laser beam created with carbon dioxide or NdYAG laser is targeted at the work piece to weld the parts together. Shielding gas is used to prevent the oxygenation of the material being welded and to protect the optical parts of the welding machine.
The benefits of laser welding are high welding speed, a narrow welding seam and a small temperature area, and therefore it is at its best when small thermal impact is required.
Laser welding is precise. It allows for narrow welds and causes minimal changes to the welded items. On the other hand, it requires precise fitting of the pieces being welded as well as the use of jigs, and therefore it is not economical for adjoining individual pieces.
