How thick a stainless steel plate can the laser welding machine weld?

February 23, 2024

Traditional welding methods make it difficult to guarantee the welding quality of sheet metal. Laser welding has advantages that traditional welding cannot match and can effectively reduce welding defects. Laser welding is the most common welding of metal materials. In the laser welding industry, many manufacturers use laser welding of stainless steel parts. The welding effect of the laser welding machine is also very good, and laser welding is also a good choice for stainless steel material processing. So let’s take a look at how thick a stainless steel plate can be welded by a laser welding machine.

How thick can a laser welding machine weld stainless steel plates? The welding thickness mainly depends on the laser power of the stainless steel welding machine. The welding is strong and beautiful, the heat-affected zone is small, the welding is smooth and non-porous, the welding strength is high, the toughness is at least equal to or exceeds that of the base material, and the welding speed is fast. Compared with the traditional fixed optical path and welding joint welding method, the welding efficiency can be increased by more than 10 times, which has great advantages in the field of small plane track welding.

How thick a stainless steel plate can the laser welding machine weld? 1000W laser welding of 2mm thick stainless steel plates requires complete welding, and the finer the welding, the better. It is recommended to use a 1000W fiber laser for welding, the speed can be greater than 1 m/min, and 500W can also be used but the speed is slower.

When choosing a laser welding machine, you need to choose a suitable laser welding machine according to the material, machine, and process requirements. For example, welding: 500W laser welding is used to weld 3mm thick stainless steel plates. One-sided welding can penetrate 1.5mm thick materials at one time, and double-sided If they are all welded at 1.5mm each, the 3mm thick material will be welded through;

For example, welding: 1000 watts can also be used to weld 10mm stainless steel plates, and the molten pool can be 3mm on one side. Some production ports do not require high pulling force, and can still meet the requirements. If you slow down the speed, the welding may be deep enough. 5mm. The thickness of the welding material determines how powerful the laser welding machine should be used. That is to say, if the welding material is thicker, the higher the laser power selected will be regardless of other factors.

 

The above is the answer to how thick a stainless steel plate can be welded by a laser welding machine. The application of stainless steel laser welding machines in the welding of stainless steel and other metals has changed the traditional laser welding mode. It can perform fast welding at any angle for parts that are inaccessible for welding. , with greater flexibility. This kind of operation mode is widely used in the decoration industry, miscellaneous hardware, lighting industry, stainless steel door industry, iron art, and advertising industry.
