Fiber laser welding machines offer high precision, speed, and energy efficiency compared to traditional methods.
Automation in laser welding increases production speed and reduces labor costs, leading to significant savings.
You start the laser welding process by preparing your materials with care. Cleanliness and alignment play a critical role in the quality of your welds. If you leave oil, rust, or oxidation on the surface, you risk incomplete fusion or porosity. You should use cleaning agents, sandpaper, or ultrasonic cleaning to remove contaminants.
Tip: Always clean the welding surface thoroughly before you begin. This step improves laser absorption and heat transfer.
You must also ensure the fit-up and alignment of your workpieces. Tight tolerance on joint gaps helps you achieve high-quality welds. Plan your joint configuration and use fixtures to hold the parts in place.
Here is a standard preparation checklist for industrial settings:
Clean the workpieces to remove contaminants.
Ensure the fit-up and alignment are correct.
Plan the joint configuration.
Utilize fixtures to hold the parts in place.
When you follow these steps, you set the foundation for a successful weld using a fiber laser welding machine.
You rely on advanced optical systems to deliver the laser beam with precision. High-quality optical fiber transmits the laser energy efficiently, minimizing power loss and maintaining weld accuracy. Beam expanders control the diameter of the beam, which allows you to focus the laser exactly where you need it. Mirrors and reflectors help maintain beam quality by reducing reflection losses.
The focusing head is a key component. It controls the weld focus, which directly impacts penetration depth and weld quality.
Efficient transmission through optical fiber ensures consistent results.
Beam expanders and focusing heads give you control over the weld area.
Mirrors and reflectors maintain the integrity of the laser beam.
With a fiber laser welding machine, you achieve precise energy delivery, which is essential for strong and clean welds.
During the melting and fusion stage, you expose the metal to intense laser energy. The temperature in the weld zone can reach up to 1838.5 °C. This heat melts the material quickly, allowing the metals to fuse together and form a solid joint.
You benefit from the focused laser beam, which speeds up the melting process and shortens welding times. You often do not need filler material, which reduces costs and simplifies your workflow.
Here is a comparison between fiber laser welding and traditional welding methods:
| Aspect | Fiber Laser Welding | Traditional Welding |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Faster due to focused laser beam | Slower, longer welding times |
| Energy Consumption | Reduced overall energy usage | Higher energy consumption |
| Filler Material Requirement | No need for filler material | Requires filler material |
You increase productivity and energy efficiency when you use a fiber laser welding machine. The rapid melting and fusion process ensures strong, reliable welds with minimal distortion.
You protect your weld from contamination by using shielding gas during the laser welding process. Shielding gas creates an inert atmosphere around the weld pool, which prevents oxidation and keeps the weld clean. You can choose gases like argon, helium, or nitrogen, depending on your material and desired weld properties.
Shielding gas maintains a clean weld by blocking oxygen and other contaminants.
You achieve a smooth and consistent weld, free from defects, when you use a strong shielding environment.
Proper application of shielding gas leads to uniform weld pool formation and reduces porosity.
Different gases influence weld penetration and mechanical properties, so you select the best option for your project.
Effective shielding prevents defects like cracks and porosity, which can weaken the weld.
Tip: Always check your shielding gas flow rate and nozzle position. This step ensures complete coverage and optimal weld quality.
You rely on TiHi Laser’s fiber laser welding machines to deliver precise shielding gas control. This feature helps you produce high-strength, visually appealing welds every time.
You must manage the cooling stage carefully to preserve weld strength and minimize distortion. Fiber laser welding produces rapid cooling rates, sometimes exceeding 80,000 °C per second. This fast cooling influences the microstructure of the weld, often leading to the formation of martensite, which enhances mechanical properties.
TiHi Laser recommends several techniques to optimize cooling:
Preheating the workpiece before welding reduces thermal gradients and helps control cooling rates.
Controlled cooling prevents abrupt contractions, which can cause residual stresses and distortion.
Using fixtures and clamping maintains the position and alignment of your workpiece throughout the process.
You benefit from these cooling strategies by achieving strong, reliable welds with minimal post-processing. Proper cooling management ensures your finished product meets the highest standards for durability and appearance.
You rely on several advanced components when you operate a fiber laser welding machine. Each part plays a vital role in delivering precise and efficient welds.
Laser Source: This generates a concentrated beam of light, which fuses materials with minimal heat distortion.
Optical Fiber: It transmits the laser energy with high efficiency, maintaining beam quality and reducing power loss.
Focusing Head: You use this to direct and concentrate the laser beam onto the weld area, ensuring strong and durable joints.
Control System: Touchscreen interfaces and automated controls allow you to monitor and adjust welding parameters in real time.
Shielding Gas System: This protects the weld pool from oxidation, resulting in cleaner seams and reduced heat-affected zones.
Note: The high energy density of fiber lasers produces focused and intense beams, which are essential for creating reliable welds in industries like automotive and aerospace.
You benefit from unmatched precision, high operational speed, and energy efficiency when you use these components together.
You achieve high-quality welds by harnessing the core working principle of the fiber laser welding machine. The machine generates a high-energy-density laser beam and focuses it onto the materials you want to join. The intense heat melts the surfaces, forming a molten pool that solidifies as it cools. This process creates a strong and clean weld.
Beam quality determines your welding results. You measure it using the Beam Parameter Product (BPP) and the M2 factor. A lower M2 value means the beam converges better and maintains focus, which is crucial for effective welding. The design of the fiber laser welding machine allows you to focus the beam tightly, minimizing divergence and maximizing energy concentration.

You use conduction mode when you need a weld with a smooth surface and minimal penetration. The fiber laser delivers energy at a lower density, so heat spreads from the surface into the material. This technique creates welds that are wide and shallow. You often choose conduction mode for thin sheets or parts where appearance matters more than depth. The process works well for decorative seams, electronics, and medical devices.
You achieve weld penetration through heat conduction from the surface.
The weld remains wider and shallower, which helps you maintain a clean finish.
You control the weld shape by adjusting the pulse length and laser power.
Note: Conduction mode suits applications where you want to avoid excessive melting or distortion.
You switch to keyhole mode when you need deep and narrow welds. The fiber laser operates at a much higher energy density, vaporizing the metal and forming a keyhole in the material. This keyhole allows the laser to penetrate deeply, creating strong joints with minimal heat-affected zones. You use keyhole mode for thick metals, structural components, and parts that require maximum strength.
You achieve weld penetration by vaporizing the metal, which forms a deep and narrow weld.
The aspect ratio of the weld often exceeds 1.5, giving you greater depth than width.
You minimize part distortion and heat-affected zones, which is critical for aerospace and automotive projects.
| Welding Technique | Heat Input Characteristics | Weld Penetration Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Conduction Mode | Low energy density (~0.5 MW/cm²), heat conducts from surface | Shallow and wide welds, controlled by pulse length |
| Keyhole Mode | High energy density (>1.5 MW/cm²), vaporizes metal | Deep and narrow welds, aspect ratio > 1.5, can achieve depths up to 0.5" |
Tip: Use keyhole mode for thick materials or when you need a weld with high mechanical strength.
