LaserTIG
LaserTIG is a welding process that combines the precision of laser welding with the versatility of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. In this technique, a laser beam is used to create a keyhole in the workpiece, while an inert gas shield protects the weld area from atmospheric contamination. The laser beam provides a concentrated heat source, allowing for deep penetration and high-quality welds. The TIG component adds the ability to weld thin materials and control the weld pool, resulting in improved weld quality and reduced distortion. LaserTIG is particularly useful for welding high-strength steels, aluminum alloys, and other materials that are challenging to weld using traditional methods. It offers advantages such as high welding speed, narrow heat-affected zone, and excellent weld appearance. However, it requires specialized equipment and skilled operators to achieve optimal results. The process is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding, where high-quality welds are essential for structural integrity and performance.
