Laser Welding

1. Process Introduction | What problems can laser welding solve?

Minimal heat affected zone: laser focusing Ø 0.2-0.6 mm, HAZ ≤ 0.3 mm, thin plate deformation<0.1 mm, no need for subsequent leveling
High aspect ratio: Lock hole effect with a depth to width ratio of 10:1, penetrating 0.1-8 mm at once without the need for multiple layers or channels
High precision trajectory: Six axis robot+real-time weld seam tracking, repeatability accuracy ± 0.05 mm, controllable weld seam width 0.5-1.5 mm
High speed cycle: 2-4 m/min for 1 kW thin plate, 1-1.5 m/min for 3 kW medium thick plate, 3-5 times faster than traditional TIG
Wide material compatibility: Carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, and dissimilar metals (aluminum steel, copper stainless steel) can be formed in one go

4. Laser Welding Case Studies | Typical Application Cases

Case 1 | Aluminum shell sealing for new energy batteries

Material: 6061-T6 extruded profile, wall thickness 2 mm

Weld seam: continuous corner joints on all sides, with a total length of 1.2 meters

Challenge: Sealing ≤ 1 × 10 ⁻⁶ Pa · m ³/s, deformation ≤ 0.1 mm

Solution: 6 kW fiber laser, scanning head swinging 20 mm, speed 1.2 m/min

Result: The first pass rate was 99.5%, the helium mass spectrometry leak detection passed, and 120000 pieces were produced per month

Case 2 | Copper stainless steel dissimilar welding of 5G cooling cold plate

Material: Copper base plate 3mm+Stainless steel top cover 1mm

Weld seam: Grid sealed weld seam, grid spacing of 8mm

Solution: 4 kW Disk, Cu lead+stainless steel follower, real-time power closed-loop

Result: Tensile and shear strength ≥ 180 N/mm, thermal resistance decreased by 15%, and there was no leakage in a batch of 500000 pieces

Case 3 | Medical Device Titanium Alloy Thin Wall Tube

Material: Ti-6Al-4V Wall thickness 0.2 mm, diameter Φ 8 mm

Weld seam: circumferential seam docking, requiring no oxidation discoloration

Solution: 3 kW laser+local argon chamber, oxygen content<50 ppm

Result: The weld seam is silver white, with a tensile strength of ≥ 950 MPa and a fatigue life of 10 times
