Joining quality of stranded wire is desired to be improved

Challenge: Welding quality of stranded wires is desired to be improved, and loosening of wires is desired to be eliminated.

Basic Configuration of Pulse Heat Unit (Hot Bar Bonder) and Role of Each Part

The object to be joined is held down and the electric current is flown while the pressure is being applied, and heat is generated by resistance heating.

How does Laser Welding work?

Laser welding operates in two fundamentally different modes: conduction limited welding and keyhole welding. The mode in the laser beam will interact with the material it is welding will depend on the power density of the focused laser spot on the workpiece.
Conduction limited welding occurs when the power density is typically less than 105W/cm2. The laser radiation is absorbed only at the surface of the material and does not penetrate into the material. Therefore, conduction limited welds exhibit a high width to depth ratio.
Laser welding is more usually accomplished using higher power densities by a keyhole mechanism. When the laser beam is focused on a small enough spot to produce a power density typically > 106-107 W/cm2, the workpiece surface vaporises before quantities of heat can be removed by conduction. The focused laser beam penetrates the workpiece and forms a cavity called a ‘keyhole’, which is filled with metal vapour or ionised metal vapour (plasma). This expanding vapour or plasma contributes to the prevention of the collapse of the molten walls of the keyhole into this cavity. Furthermore, the coupling of the laser beam to the workpiece is improved dramatically by the formation of the keyhole. Deep penetration welding is achieved by traversing the keyhole along the joint to be made (or moving the joint with respect to the laser beam), and results in welds with a high depth to width. Under the action of vapour pressure and surface tension, the molten material at the leading edge of the keyhole flows around the cavity created by the beam to the back, and solidifies to form the weld. This action leaves a top bead with a chevron pattern, which points to the start of the weld.

What’s Laser Brazing

Using the filler metal with a lower melting point than the base metal, heating the filler metal to a melting point higher than filler metal but lower than the melting temperature of the base metal. Then the liquid filler metal fills the gaps.

Fundamentals of Laser Scanner Welding

Laser scanner welding combines the advantages of the remote welding, the scanner and the robot, with professional graphics processing software, which can achieve 3D instantaneous multi-track welding.

Quality control for Spot Welding

Spot Welding is a fusion welding process with heat generation at the joint by the resistance of the work to the flow of electricity. Force is applied before, during, and after the application of current and melting occurs at the faying surfaces during welding.

Basic Configuration of Resistance Welder and Role of Each Part

Resistance welder sandwiches an object to be welded by the welding electrodes, andapplies electric current while applying pressure.

Fundamentals of Laser Welding

Laser welding is a high-precision laser welding method with laser beam of high energy density as a heat source. It has the advantages of high welding speed, high strength, narrow weld, small heat affected zone, small workpiece deformation, etc.
