LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global laser welding machine market is expected to post a CAGR of over 5% during the period 2018-2022, according to the latest market research report by Technavio. A key ...

Laser welding is on the advance, but it also has its limits: it has been impossible to fuse two transparent plastic components together -- up until now. Researchers have now succeeded in circumventing ...

Laser welding causes vaporization and pooling of two identical materials along a joint, which forms a bond. Surgical case and tray designs demand light weight with strength and precision with quick ...

On its surface, the work is deceptively simple: Shoot a high-power laser beam onto a piece of metal for a fraction of a second and see what happens. But researchers say the physics of laser welding is ...

OXFORD, Mass., Nov. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IPG Photonics Corporation, the leader in high-power fiber lasers and amplifiers, today announced the launch of LightWELD, a new handheld laser welding ...

As with traditional welding techniques, materials are melted in the weld zone, although laser-based techniques use quicker heating and cooling cycles (Figure 1). These rapid thermal cycles are a ...

Laser welding has for years been a good way to join parts made from the same or very similar polymers. Material options for the technique continue to expand. DuPont Engineering Polymers, Wilmington ...
