The molten filler material wets the surfaces of the base materials and flows into the joint, where it solidifies and joins the components together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike laser welding, the base material does not normally need to be melted. The process can therefore result in lower thermal impact on the components and reduce the risk of distortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The high precision of the laser beam also makes it possible to concentrate the heat input within a very limited area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laser brazing is therefore particularly suitable for components where requirements include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>high dimensional accuracy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>limited heat input<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>low distortion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>high and consistent joint quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>leak-tight joints<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>good surface finish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>high repeatability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img data-dominant-color=\"786d6f\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lmiab.se\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/laserlodning-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4640 size-full not-transparent\" style=\"--dominant-color: #786d6f; object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lmiab.se\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/laserlodning-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lmiab.se\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/laserlodning-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lmiab.se\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/laserlodning-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lmiab.se\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/laserlodning-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.lmiab.se\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/laserlodning-1.png 1672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-995f960e wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ad6395f0b3b1&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ad6395f0b3b1\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized wp-lightbox-container\"><img data-dominant-color=\"61504f\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lmiab.se\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/hur-fungerar-laserlodning-683x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4646 not-transparent\" style=\"--dominant-color: #61504f; aspect-ratio:0.6670020120724346;width:568px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lmiab.se\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/hur-fungerar-laserlodning-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/www.lmiab.se\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/hur-fungerar-laserlodning-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.lmiab.se\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/hur-fungerar-laserlodning-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lmiab.se\/app\/uploads\/2026\/09\/hur-fungerar-laserlodning.png 1024w\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">How does laser brazing work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During laser brazing, the laser beam is focused on the area where the components are to be joined. Filler material is normally supplied as wire or powder and heated by the laser energy until it melts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The molten filler material wets the surfaces of the components and flows into the joint. As the laser beam and filler material move along the joint, the filler solidifies and forms the connection between the components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a stable process, the temperature must be high enough to melt the filler material and provide good wetting, while remaining controlled so that unnecessary melting of the base material is avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process result is influenced by factors including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>laser power<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>process speed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>focal position and beam diameter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>filler material<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>wire or powder feed rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>material combination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>joint geometry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>surface condition of the components<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fixturing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>shielding gas, where applicable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">It is the interaction between these factors that determines joint quality and process stability.pelet mellan dessa faktorer som avg\u00f6r fogens kvalitet och processens stabilitet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:#f4f0ec;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Laser brazing compared with laser welding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laser brazing and laser welding both use laser radiation as a concentrated heat source, but the joining principles are different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <strong>laser welding<\/strong>, the base materials are locally melted to form the weld joint. The process can be performed with or without filler material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <strong>laser brazing<\/strong>, a filler material with a lower melting temperature than the base material is melted instead.
