Laser Welding Technology – the Closest Thing to a Perfect Weld
For as long as there have been molds used in manufacturing, there has been the need for welding to repair or restore components and restore surfaces machined or worn out of specification. Welding also is the option most often used to reduce cost and lost time when compared to making new mold components.
One of the fastest growing technologies currently used for mold repair is the use of manual laser welding systems as an alternative to traditional welding methods. Laser welding systems can be used to fill porosity, refill damaged surfaces including porosity and “pits,” run a bead of alloy along a complex edge and correct manufacturing defects. Laser welding reconfigures the molecular structure of either similar or dissimilar metals at the point of welding, allowing the two common alloys to become one.
Tool and die shops currently using laser welders are often amazed at the wide range of applications and the ability to produce a higher quality product in less time with fewer materials while eliminating excessive heat effects.
