A laser welding machine for a given material is configured to weld that metal cleanly — matching power, wobble, mode and wire to its thermal behavior. Maker-backed, our handheld laser welders weld stainless steel, carbon steel, galvanized sheet, aluminum and brass. This section covers settings and capability by material.
What Is Material-Specific Laser Welding?
Different metals absorb and conduct heat differently, so penetration and settings vary. Our machines handle each with the same 0.5 kg fifth-generation gun, continuous/pulse modes, adjustable wobble and optional wire feeding.
Key Specifications & Performance
Indicative max single-pass penetration (at 1500W):
| Material | Water-cooled 1500W | Air-cooled 1500W |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless / carbon / galvanized steel | 3 mm | up to 6.5 mm |
| Aluminum | 3 mm | up to 5.5 mm |
| Brass | 2 mm | up to 4.5 mm |
Max single-pass, material-dependent; continuous-duty figures available on request. Higher power (2000W/3000W) increases weldable thickness — see 2000W–3000W.
Applications & Use Cases
By material: aluminum · stainless steel · steel · mould repair · battery.
Certifications & CE Compliance
CE coverage; certificates available on request. Destination requirements per market. No certificate images online.
Comparison & Selection Guide
Choose power by your thickest material; choose cooling by duty cycle. Aluminum and brass reflect more laser energy, so settings differ from steel — our team can recommend a configuration for your material mix.
