LASERNIC welding technology at its best

the preferred materials

Laser welding is a versatile and precise technology that processes a wide range of materials eﬃciently and to a high quality.
Aluminum and stainless steel are particularly noteworthy due to their speciﬁc properties and wide range of applications.

ALUMINIUM

Aluminum is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal that plays a key role in numerous industries such as the automotive, aerospace and construction sectors. While conventional joining techniques using traditional welding equipment place high demands on skilled workers, laser welding opens up new possibilities for achieving first-class quality thanks to its high precision and speed.

Properties of aluminum during laser welding:

High reﬂexion:
Aluminum requires high laser power and special beam guidance techniques to achieve an eﬀective weld seam.
Thermal conductivity:
Aluminum conducts heat very eﬃciently, which leads to rapid cooling of the weld seam and reduces the formation of cracks and pores.
Oxide layer:
Aluminum forms an oxide layer that is removed before welding or controlled by the use of special shielding gases.

Areas of application:

Automotive industry

Production of body parts, frames
and structural components.

Aerospace

Production of aircraft parts and
structural components.

Construction industry

Production of façade elements,
window frames and other components.

STAINLESS STEEL

Stainless steel is an extremely versatile material that is highly valued in various applications due to its corrosion resistance, strength and aesthetic qualities. It is used in food processing, medical technology, the chemical industry and many other sectors. Laser welding is particularly impressive in areas with demanding production requirements thanks to its precision and joining technology.

Properties of stainless steel during laser welding:

Corrosion resistance:
Stainless steel retains its corrosion resistance even after welding.
Strength:
Stainless steel offers high strength and durability, which is particularly important for load-bearing structures and components.
Thermal expansion:
The low thermal expansion of stainless steel reduces deformation in the weld.

Areas of application:

Food processing

Manufacture of containers, pipes
and machine components.

Medical technology

Production of surgical instruments,
implants and medical devices.

Chemical industry

Production of reactors, storage tanks
and pipelines.
