Many manufacturing industries merge two or more materials to boost productivity and save cost. Laser welding of dissimilar material is a process that uses a concentrated laser beam to join different materials under specific conditions. Dissimilar material welding allows you to get more out of each metal’s special characteristics. With the right laser radiation parameters, even the most difficult metal component can be welded seamlessly.
However, different engineering metals have unique physical and chemical properties. Hence, it is important to consider some key factors before welding them. This article explains some factors to consider when welding different metal parts and their use in various applications across manufacturing industries.
