laserhitsausta

Laserhitsaus is a welding process that utilizes a laser beam as the heat source. The laser beam, highly concentrated and intense, melts the material to be joined. This focused energy allows for very precise and narrow welds with a deep penetration. The process can be performed in a vacuum, in inert gas, or in air, depending on the materials and application.

Key advantages of laserhitsaus include its speed, low heat input, and minimal distortion of the workpiece. The narrow heat-affected zone (HAZ) means that the properties of the surrounding material are less compromised. This precision makes it suitable for welding thin materials, complex geometries, and materials that are sensitive to heat.

Laserhitsaus can be used for a wide range of metals, including steel, aluminum, titanium, and various alloys. It finds applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical device manufacturing, and electronics. The process can be automated, making it efficient for high-volume production. Different laser types, such as CO2 lasers and fiber lasers, are used depending on the specific welding requirements. The quality of the weld is often high, with good mechanical properties and a clean appearance.
