Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission Radiation
What is Laser beam welding?
- A welding process used to join one or more parts through the use of laser beam
1.Solid-state welding
2.Fusion welding:
-Arc welding
-Oxyfuelgas welding
-Resistance welding
- Types of lasers used: Gas laser, Solid state Laser(nd:YAG), Fibre Laser
Advantages
Laser Welding
Conventional Welding
CONCLUSION
- Applications: Jewelry, Electronics, Medical technology, car bodies in automotive
Tungsten inert gas(TIG) &
Metal inert gas (MIG)
Laser welding
- Most common used welding methods
- An electrode material in a welding gun is electrically charged, which allows for the creation of an arc between that electrode and the material being welded
Laser Welding
Conventional Welding
Comparison
- Non-meltable tungsten electrode
- Used for normal steel-welding
Limitations & Benefits
Limitations &
Benefits
- Small amount of equipment
- Safety and Health problems
- Welding of dissimilar alloys and complex shapes is difficult
Conventional Welding vs Laser Welding
Introduction
“Welding is the process of joining together two pieces of metal so that bonding takes place at their original boundary surfaces
