Explore the latest articles, technologies and industry records for welding.
Begin a chiller specification with the thermal requirements of the laser and processing optics. The laser’s optical output class does not directly state the heat that the cooling circuit must remove. For…
As the global automotive industry moves towards electrification, traction batteries have become a central determinant of new-energy vehicles’ performance, safety and cost. Battery manufacturing combines materials science, electrochemistry and precision mechanics,…
Biomedical manufacturing requires high cleanliness and consistent quality. Laser welding is increasingly used because it is non-contact, controllable and suitable for automation. Many medical instruments use stainless steel or aluminium, but laser…
How transparent-plastic welding works The process uses the infrared absorption of the selected transparent plastic. Controlled laser energy heats the contact surfaces of two layers until they begin to melt; pressure then…
Laser welding is an important part of laser materials processing. The conduction-mode process discussed here is used for thin-walled materials and lower-speed precision joints: radiation heats the surface, and conduction carries that…
