In this video, Max Ceron, Director at the CWB Association, explains the fundamentals of laser welding. This high-tech welding process doesn't rely on an electrical arc but instead uses heat generated from a high-intensity laser beam. Max breaks down how this light source creates a weld pool, allowing for precise heat control. This makes laser welding effective for joining a wide range of materials, including dissimilar metals like copper and aluminum. 

Max highlights the pros of laser welding, such as its ability to weld various materials, including metals, ceramics, and plastics, and how the technology has become more affordable and accessible in recent years. However, he also points out the importance of safety, particularly around the risks of light reflection and the intense heat of up to 10,000°C. 

Are you wondering if laser welding will make its way into your shop? Max believes it’s likely, given the reduced costs and easier access to the technology. He encourages viewers to reach out to local suppliers if they're interested in trying laser welding.
