Coherent | Laser Welding of High-Strength Aluminum to Cast Aluminum

Both high-strength and cast aluminum deliver proven benefits for automotive construction, but also present challenges to laser welding. In particular, both are prone to hot cracking and spattering. These problems are solved utilizing a welding system based on the Coherent ARM laser and the new thyssenkrupp LSK06 laser clamping head. It delivers perfect welds without cracks and spatter, plus improved process stability. And, this system is an integrated clamping device with laser class 1 certification. This eliminates the need for a laser welding station enclosure – a huge cost advantage and a considerable simplification in implementation!
