The What and Why Of…
Laser Welding
Laser welding is an effective and gentle way of joining metal pieces using a high-intensity light beam, which causes the materials to melt and fuse together when cool and dry. The equipment utilized is either a large stationary machine or a hand-held torch that is comparable to stick welding. The procedure is simple to automate and provides high-volume manufacturing and uniform quality that can only be achieved with spot welding using other technologies.
TIG Welding
TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding is a popular procedure in manufacturing. It is a type of GTAW (gas tungsten arc welding) that is utilized for a variety of applications, including the assembly of exhausts, fuel lines, tanks, and structural and engine parts in aerospace and automotive manufacturing. Many people rely on it to produce strong, dependable, high-quality welds that are aesthetically appealing. The technique generates extremely little splatter, requiring far less post-weld cleanup.
Forming
Forming is the technique of shaping metal objects via deformation without adding or removing any material. Typically, heat and/or mechanical loads are used to achieve the required shape. Forming encompasses a wide range of production technologies, including bending, extrusion, and forging. It also allows for the creation of intricate shapes and designs, which can then be joined using welding to create complex components.
Types of Laser, TIG Welding, and Forming Solutions
Welding and forming can be utilized with precision on numerous types of metalworking projects. Below are a few of the use cases.
