LASER WELDING IN VACUUM
Laser welding is a process that uses a high-power density laser beam to join two materials together , creating a deep, narrow weld.
Compared with other welding techniques, such as MIG and TIG, laser welding has relatively low heat input overall, resulting in low distortion, excellent mechanical properties and minimum post-weld machining.
LOCAL VACUUM TECHNOLOGY - EBFLOW
Features
- Facilitating very high joint completion rates in thick section steels
- 20 to 30 times faster than traditional methods
- 200mm per minute in 150mm thick steel have been achieved
- Using a system of sliding seals and precision handling enables fast longitudinal and circumferential welds on large work pieces
- A coarse vacuum is established and maintained only where it is needed
- Pre-heating is not necessary and consumables are not required during the weld
- Minimal distortion, on average only 10% of the weld thickness
- Quality and reliability are improved with immediate post weld inspection possible
- Achieving the fastest thick section welding rates ever
Application
- Tubulars for Wind Farms and Oil & Gas and exploration
- Wind Tower Flanges
- Nuclear Power Generation and waste containment
- Pressure vessels
- Storage tanks
