This method is used to join several metal parts thanks to a laser beam inducing a very high energy density.
Laser beam welding is a very widespread process which contributes to the manufacturing of parts for various industries such as automotive and aeronautics (seats, running gears, heat exchangers, etc.), but also the medical sector (prostheses, orthopaedic implants).
Quick to perform, it combines high welding speeds (several meters per minute) with low metallurgical degradation. This high energy density process creates a melted zone that is both deep and very narrow. It thus allows the single-pass welding of a relatively thick piece, while inducing little deformation.
Laser beam welding allows the assembly of various metallic materials: the list extends from steels to aluminum alloys, titanium, ferrous alloys, nickel-based alloys, copper, etc.
It also has the advantage of being easily implemented with automated and robotic machines, improving its reproducibility and productivity.
