Welding characteristics
It belongs to fusion welding, which uses the laser beam as the energy source to impact on the joint of the weldment.
The laser beam can be guided by a flat optical element, such as a mirror, and then projected onto the weld seam by a reflective focusing element or mirror.
Laser welding is non-contact welding, no pressure is required during the operation, but inert gas is required to prevent oxidation of the molten pool, and filler metal is occasionally used.
Laser welding can be combined with MIG welding to form laser MIG composite welding to achieve large penetration welding, and the heat input is greatly reduced compared to MIG welding.
