Laser welding and argon arc welding each have their own characteristics and are suitable for different situations. Here is their comparison:
1. Welding speed and effect: The welding speed of laser welding machine is faster, more than five times that of non melting electrode argon arc welding. The energy of the laser welding machine is concentrated, the welding strength is high, the weld seam is beautiful, and there is no need for subsequent polishing and grinding. The welding speed of argon arc welding is slow, and the heat affected area is large, which may lead to defects such as cracking and undercutting, especially when welding small workpieces.
2. Welding depth and material: Laser welding machines have shortcomings in welding depth and high costs. Argon arc welding can weld almost all metals, especially some refractory and easily oxidizable metals.
3. Difficulty and cost of operation: Laser welding machines are easy to operate and handle, while argon arc welding requires higher technical skills. The price of laser welding machines is generally higher than that of argon arc welding machines, but they are more economical and efficient in welding thin-walled materials and precision parts.
In summary, laser welding and argon arc welding each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Laser welding has advantages in welding speed, ease of operation, and weld aesthetics, while argon arc welding is more competitive in welding depth, applicable material range, and cost. The choice of welding method depends on specific welding requirements and budget.
