Hot Wire Laser | Lincoln Electric & Laserline – fast, flexible, high quality

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Being flexible is what makes the combination of hot-wire with laser so applicable for a variety of materials and applications throughout many industries. This means it can be a better choice over traditional MIG and TIG in processes such as cladding, brazing, welding and additive manufacturing; especially in situations where distortion must be mitigated. As it happens, adding heat through the filler metal has proven to be a very efficient way of increasing deposition rates and travel speeds while reducing overall heat input.
As a result, a hot wire/laser process can typically achieve higher process speeds with lower heat input and with less metallurgical change to the base material. All of these factors significantly reduce distortion. In situations where speed and quality are critical, the hot-wire/laser process can deliver its full benefits . Depending on material thickness and laser power, welding speeds of over 3 m/min are possible.
