Laser welding is a process that joins metal using a focused laser beam as the heat source, instead of an electric arc.
What Is Laser Welding?
The beam delivers intense, concentrated energy to a small spot, melting the metal so the edges fuse and solidify into a continuous weld. Conduction welding gives shallow, neat seams; keyhole welding gives deeper penetration.
Key Specifications & Performance (what matters)
Beam power, focus, travel speed and shielding gas determine penetration and seam quality. Fiber lasers are the standard for metal welding.
Overview — Why It’s Used
Compared with arc welding: narrower heat-affected zone, less distortion, faster speed, and less grinding. Learn the differences in laser vs TIG/MIG.
