How Does Laser Welding Differ from Conventional Welding?
| Criterion | Conventional Welding | Laser Welding |
|---|---|---|
| Heat applied to the material | Very high | Low |
| Material deformation (%) | 90% | 5% |
| Weld strength | Low | High |
| Post-weld finishing | Grinding, polishing, buffing | None or ~10% grinding |
| Welding speed | 10% | 90% (up to 8× faster) |
| Ease of use | Complex; requires high skill | Simple; lower skill requirement |
| Consumable cost | High | Low |
| Operator safety | Not ensured | High |
| Weld bead width | Fixed | Adjustable 0.8 mm–5 mm |
| Wire feed | Required | Optional (with or without wire) |
| Penetration | Fixed | Adjustable 0–8 mm |
| Energy consumption | High | Low |
| Environmental impact | Causes pollution | Eco-friendly |
