LAI's production team can help evaluate your product concept, determine the best processing approach and offer assistance with weld joint design. From research and development to materials and application analysis, prototype runs to production quantities, LAI's laser welding services are a natural choice.

LAI’s laser welding services offer high-yield strength with no heat distortion and no filler materials.

  • Spot sizes as small as 0.004 inches
  • Hermetic welds to a helium leak rate of 108

Benefits of laser welding:

  • Extreme positional selectivity and repeatibility
  • Minimal to no heat distortion
  • Welding of dissimilar materials without a filler rod or preform
  • Less expensive than electron beam welding and other process methods
