Thick-to-thin welding can be challenging with traditional processes. Watch how a laser welder produces a sound weld between a razor blade and 2-inch plate with a simple straight-line pass.
What You’ll See
•How laser welding handles thick-to-thin joints
•Why penetration depth can be set independently of material thickness
•What makes laser welding different from current-based welding processes
•How a razor blade is welded to a 2-inch steel plate
•Why blow through and distortion are minimized
•What applications benefit from this capability
Who This Helps
This video is intended for fabrication managers, welding supervisors, manufacturing engineers, and welding professionals evaluating laser welding for production environments. It is especially relevant for operations that regularly weld dissimilar material thicknesses.
