Brazing
 

Characteristics of Conduction mode weld:

PVDF and fluorinated polymer coating are very difficult coating to remove with abrasive wheels, blast or water jet. The HPDDL-4000W has the ability to operate in a pulsed mode which is ideal for ablating these PTFE and PVDF coatings from surfaces without effecting base material.

 
  • Very little evaporation of material
  • Very quiet process, little or no spatter in most cases
  • Very repeatable process
  • Very tolerant of part fit up
  • Significantly smaller nugget than TIG or MIG weld
  • Significantly smaller Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) than TIG or MIG weld
  • 50% - 200% faster than TIG or MIG depending on thickness
 

Laser Brazing - Silicon Bronze

Like wire feed welding the ISL product line is an excellent heat source for SiB brazing. In addition to the benefits listed above. For Body-n-White brazing the ISL-4000L is an excellent source for creating braze joints that do not need rework after brazing. The long beam wets out the weld.

 
Benefits of Laser Brazing
 
  • Low maintenance
  • Non plasma process
  • Splatter significantly reduces
  • Zinc Fuming and sooting reduced
  • Fouling of MIG/TIG not an issue
  • Lower heat input
  • Faster brazing process
