HYBRIDIZATION OF LASER WELDING

LASER WELDING - Literature Review

Lasers are now being used in the automotive industry to produce seam or stitch welds, as alternatives to conventional resistance spot welding, which are used extensively for attaching auto-body panels to subassemblies. The advantages of laser welding over resistance spot welding result from the smallness of the laser spot size, the large penetration depth of the weld into the material and the r...

Laser Revolutionizes Industrial Welding

Special attention has been focused on creating an ergonomic operator station that is not intimidating. This guarantees fast and efficient work, without fatigue, for many hours. The operator sits in front of the welder and manually loads parts to be welded into the enclosure. The operator has a clear view of the processing area through a large laser-safe window of protective glass. The final pos...

Laser nerve welding

Microsurgial suture (Conventional microsurgical suture repair, CMSR) is the most commonly used method for anastomosis of severed peripheral nerves. Functional recovery after this type of repair is often inadequate, however, even though the peripheral nervous system has a remarkable ability to regenerate adequate sizes and numbers of axons. The most significant problems with microsuture repair a...

Hybrid Laser-Arc Welding

Laser Welding of Magnesium Alloys

Aiming at establishing a reliable welding technique for magnesium alloys, the laser weldability of different types of magnesium alloys has been investigated using a high-brightness disc laser. It was found that high quality joints could be fabricated in the case of wrought type alloys when a certain defocusing level was optimized for the employed high-brightness laser beam of the newly develope...
