Are Laser Welders Better Than MIG?
The laser's ability to deeply penetrate into materials results in purer, stronger welds than traditional welding techniques. Not only is laser welding typically stronger than MIG, it's three to ten times faster, welding relatively thick joints with ease, all without requiring multiple passes or high heat, which can diminish the strength of the welded materials. Which Welding Process Provides Superior Control Over the Welding Process? Laser welding generally offers enhanced control over the welding process compared to MIG welding due to several factors, including greater precision in heat input, the ability to execute narrow and deep welds, minimized Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ), precise and minimized bead formation, and the relative ease of automation and roboticization. MIG welding, while providing control over welding parameters such as voltage, wire feed speed, and gas flow rate, is less precise and controlled compared to laser welding. Notably, MIG weld...
