Welding Journal

The aerospace industry demands precision in manufacturing, often with thin, lightweight materials that are prone to distortion and burn-through. Opportunities to improve the welding process and throughput are always top of mind in this sector. For this reason, some aerospace manufacturers are considering or have become early adopters of handheld laser welding.

This welding process is quickly charting new territory. However, manufacturers currently lack AWS specifications for handheld laser beam welding. Guida..
