Laser WELD Safety

In summary, when utilizing laser welding techniques in the UK, it is imperative to regard the laser as a significant risk, particularly for Class 3B and 4 lasers. By law, you are required to conduct a thorough risk assessment, establish appropriate safety measures (such as enclosures, extraction systems, personal protective equipment, training, and maintenance), and ensure your safety protocols are well-documented. The HSE offers comprehensive guidance on optical radiation (lasers) and welding-related hazards, which should serve as the cornerstone of your laser-welding safety procedures.

We are available to provide expert advice and support as necessary, including the provision of Laser Safety Curtains, Full Enclosures, Protective Glasses, and Full Face Masks.

Note: Depending on the laser weld source power different grades of glasses are available including VLT ( visual light transmittance )

Select Glasses according to different usage scenarios, for example there will be white flash when welding . the VLT of glasses is best below 10%

OD = Optical Density ( Ensure your glasses / Mask Meet the requirements of your laser power

Eg Laser Power 10w Od4

Laser Power 10-100w Od4- Od5

Laser Power 100w - 800w Od6+

Laser Power 800 - 1500w Od7+

Laser Power 1500w PLUS Od8+

Even if you haven't purchased equipment from ourselves we are happy to assist and advise

Laser Welding Process

Laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) welding is a fusion welding process in which metals or thermoplastics are joined using a focused laser beam. It is the most advanced type of welding method and finds application across many industries spanning from aerospace and medical equipment to fine jewellery making.

In the laser welding process, a concentrated beam of light is focused on the cavity between the materials to be joined. The powerful laser beam melts the materials at their seams and fuses into a joint. A highly concentrated heat source allows laser welding in thin sheet metal to be conducted at high speeds of metres per minute. In thicker materials, laser welding can produce deep and narrow welds.

Advantages Of Laser Welding

Laser welding is very versatile and can be used in conjunction with traditional arc welding to create hybrid laser arc welding. The resulting weld possesses the advantages of both laser welding and arc welding. The weld will also have deep penetrating joints and improved tolerance to joint fit-up. Undesirable effects such as internal porosity and cracking are reduced.

When compared to traditional welding, laser welding has the following advantages:

Less heat

A highly concentrated laser beam is focused on a small area, making the heat-affected zone (HAZ) smaller. Thus, laser welding requires low-temperature input when compared to traditional welding.

Faster processing time

Though the initial investment is high, the process proves to be more cost-effective than traditional welding. Laser welding offers a faster processing speed that results in higher production and quicker turnaround.

Lower risk of thermal distortion

As the process involves low heat input, there is less thermal stress. The focused beam melts only a small surface area of the metal, resulting in minimised heat-induced internal stress and distortion to the workpiece.

High precision

In laser welding, the laser beam can be controlled and focused on a small area. This permits the welding of components with high precision. Its tailorable spot size makes laser welding best suited for delicate or thin metals.
