Common welding methods can generally be divided into laser welding and traditional welding (such as arc welding). Currently, laser welding is becoming more and more popular.
What is laser welding?
Laser is a special kind of light. Laser welding is a high-tech welding method that uses a high-energy beam to focus metal materials to generate high temperature for welding. Laser welding is an important innovation for applications in the material processing industry. At present, laser welding machines are mainly used for precision welding of various metals. The principle of this welding is to heat the surface of the workpiece through high-energy laser radiation, and the heat on the surface of the metal workpiece diffuses into the interior through thermal conduction. By controlling the parameters of the laser welding machine, such as laser pulse width, energy, peak power, repetition frequency and other parameters, the workpiece is melted to form a specific molten pool, thereby completing the welding process.
What is the difference between laser welding and traditional welding?
When welding metals by traditional welding methods, the welds are relatively rough, the welds and welds are relatively large, and more post-processing work is required.
Unlike traditional welding, laser welding is a delicate welding method. Laser welds are very small. In addition, laser welding is also much faster than ordinary welding. What's more, laser welding has no radiation and is harmless to people.
