Aluminum pole laser welding

Summary:
After using the fixture, the welding effect is relatively good.
This welding is one weld and one weld separately.
Through the test, it can be found that the biggest factor that affects the welding effect is whether the tabs are compressed.
The welding effect after compaction is obviously better than the effect without compaction.
 

At the same time, it also explains that when laser welding any material, it is necessary to ensure that the distance between the materials needs to be within the appropriate range. Too large or small will affect the welding effect, especially for the processing of deep penetration welding, too small gap will cause welding The gas cannot be discharged in time, resulting in pores, and if it is too large, penetration will affect the quality of the process.
