DenaliWeld Laser & Stainless Lap Joint with TIG

I went to a Laser Demo put on by DenaliWeld at a local gas and supply store and that led to me visiting their headquarters in Chicago and learning more about laser welding. I showed a short clip of tig welding a stainless lap joint first just to make the point that the attendees at the laser welding demonstration were able to pick it up much quicker than someone trying to learn TIG welding on stainless steel.

I have a few questions myself like….

  • how thick can it weld?
  • What metals can it weld?
  • Can it weld dissimilar metals?
  • What are the limitations?
  • What are the safety issues?

Is Laser 5X Faster than TIG?

From the previous video I posted., the consensus seemed to be that folks wanted to see a cut and etch test on these laser welds. So I did quite a few cut and etch macro etch tests on both stainless and aluminum.
