Application Advantages of Laser Welding

Deep Weld Penetration

Weld penetration can be closely controlled, and ranges from a minuscule 0.005 inches to a depth of up to 0.25 inches.

Micro Part Welding

Given the small and precise nature of the laser beam, very small and very thin materials can be easily joined. This includes welding of foils, stents, sensor diaphragms, and surgical instruments.

Low Heat

Pulsed lasers can minimize the amount of heat applied to a part, thus helping to keep critical electronics and other components cool.

Dissimilar and Crack Sensitive Material Welding

Laser welding can join dissimilar materials and also crack sensitive materials.

No Vacuum Requirement

Laser welding does not require the parts to be in a vacuum, which can result in faster production cycles.

High Feed Rates

Laser welding can occur at feed rates up to 200 inches per minute, which is much faster than conventional welding processes such as MIG and TIG. High feed rates mean faster welds and lower costs.

A comparison of welding processes:

Electron Beam Laser Conventional/Manual
Typical Weld Cost $$$ $ $$
Size Restrictions Limited to vacuum chamber size Workstation dependent None if done manually
Dissimilar Materials Excellent Good w/ stir welding Challenging
Magnetic Materials Challenging Excellent Process dependent
Depth (max penetration) 3 inches 1 inch Shallow w/out multipass & notch
Width to Depth ratio (min w/d%) Extraordinary (10%) Excellent (25%) Poor (various)
Heat Generated Low/medium Low (pulsed)/High (CW) High
Purity (no electrode/filler) 100% 100% Limited based on process
Repeatable Highly with CNC Highly with CNC Limited/manual w/out CNC
Hard to reach area Excellent Good – gas coverage concerns Limited
Capital Investment (barrier to entry) $$$$$ $$$ $

Quality Management for Laser Beam Welding

At EB Industries we are trusted to handle the laser welding for mission critical applications in the Aerospace and Medical industries that require extremely low failure rates. As a result, EB Industries maintains the highest levels of quality standards to ensure our welds meet the uncompromising requirements of our customers. We are ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015/AS9100 certified, have full engineering and metallurgy capabilities, and our extensive pre and post processing services make us an excellent subcontractor value for many of our customers.

Because we handle the Laser Welding for many critical applications in the Aerospace and Medical industries that require extremely low failure rates, EB Industries maintains the highest levels of quality.
