Laser Welding vs Tig Welding

Laser welding and TIG welding are both methods used for welding metal parts.

Laser welding machine, also known as laser welders or welder with laser, is a machine for laser material processing.

Laser welding uses a highly focused beam of light to heat and melt the metal, which is then joined together. This method is precise and efficient, producing a clean, narrow weld with minimal heat-affected zone. However, it can be more expensive and requires specialized equipment.

The welding with laser is mainly aimed at the welding of thin-walled materials and precision parts. It can realize spot welding, butt welding, lap welding, sealing welding, etc., with high depth-to-width ratio, small weld width, small heat-affected zone, small deformation, and fast welding speed. , The welding seam is smooth and beautiful, no post-welding treatment or only simple treatment is required, the welding seam quality is high, no porosity, can be precisely controlled, the focusing light spot is small, the positioning accuracy is high, and it is easy to realize automation.

Argon arc welding is a welding technique that uses argon as a shielding gas, also known as argon shielded welding.

TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding, on the other hand, uses a tungsten electrode to heat the metal and a filler metal to join the parts. This method provides greater control over the weld and allows for more intricate welding, making it suitable for thin materials and delicate parts. TIG welding is a manual process that requires more skill and practice to master.

Argon arc welding is suitable for welding carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, magnesium, copper, titanium, zirconium and nickel alloys in inert gas shielded welding. It is widely used in mold repair welding. Large and other shortcomings have been gradually replaced by laser welding in the field of precision mold repair.

In summary, laser welding is faster and more precise, while TIG welding offers greater control and versatility. The choice between the two methods depends on the specific requirements of the welding project
