Does laser welding offer the same strength as traditional welding?

Yes, in Penetration Mode, laser welding creates deep, high-integrity joints that are comparable to or stronger than traditional welds. Because the process is non-contact, there is also a reduced risk of material contamination. Utilising externally-approved weld testing we are able to utilise Laser Welding for EN1090 structural steelwork as well as sheet metalwork.

Is laser welding more expensive than MIG or TIG?

While the initial equipment and safety overheads are higher, the speed and lack of post-processing often make it more cost-effective for high-volume or high-precision projects.

Do you offer laser welding as a service only?

It is more common that we utilise laser welding as part of our overall turnkey fabrication service, but we also offer processing of free-issue material. If you require some subcontract welding and thin laser welding could be a good solution, get in touch with our team today.

What are the safety requirements with laser welding?

Laser welding requires strict adherence to Class 4 laser protocols, focusing on eye/skin protection, beam containment and fume extraction. Essential measures include wearing specialized laser-rated goggles and helmets, using interlocked enclosures, ensuring high-performance ventilation, and appointing a qualified laser safety officer (LSO).

What is Laser Welding?

Laser welding is an advanced fabrication process that uses a highly focused laser beam to join metal components with precision and minimal heat distortion. It is ideal for applications requiring exacting detail, delivering a repeatable weld that traditional MIG or TIG methods struggle to achieve. Our investment in dedicated, light-tight laser welding enclosures and trained Laser Safety Officers (LSOs) ensures that we operate this high-speed technology under the most stringent safety protocols

Precision Welds with Minimal Distortion

At Tadweld, laser welding is carried out using state-of-the-art technology to achieve superior results across a wide range of projects. By concentrating a high-energy beam into focal spots as small as 0.1mm, we produce deep, narrow welds with minimal thermal distortion. Whether your project requires shallow, decorative welds or high-strength structural joints, our laser welding capability significantly reduces production times and eliminates the need for extensive post-weld grinding or finishing.

FAQs

We primarily utilise laser welding for stainless steel and mild steel, particularly in applications involving thinner material thicknesses (up to c. 6mm-8mm). It is exceptionally effective for high-care food and pharmaceutical equipment where a smooth, crevice-free finish is essential. Laser welding also offers a very aesthetically consistent finish, making it ideal for goods and products with visible welds.
