This is an alternative to traditional welding using silver, which reduces costs and the thermal effect on the parts. It also improves the time involved in laser welding.
Preliminary tests on a stainless steel axis, allow us to test the viability of the process.
In the close up images of the laser welds you can see the mix of both materials in welding and the difference to the non-welded end.
