Our Experience
With 9+ years experience as a mouldmaker and Laser Welder in the automotive industry, Walton Laser Welding knows exactly what your job needs to be finished with precision and speed. There are many advantages to laser welding for mould repair. Walton Laser Welding can laser weld tool steels, stainless steels, copper alloys and aluminum with as little as .005 wire. This allows us to achieve extremely small welds that in many cases can be hand worked back in order to avoid machining when needed.
Why Us?
Walton Laser Welding knows that when you need your product repaired, you need it is quickly as possible. That is why WLW is available to weld for our customers any time of the day or night.
Sharpen parting lines, repair shut-offs, engineering changes, water leaks, EDM arcing, broken cutters, cutter gouges, and engraving changes are just some of the reasons you may need laser welding.
Laser welding provides unique advantages when used for mould repair:
1) Very Low Heating of the work piece. This allows for minimal warping and rework of the work piece.
2) Extremely Fine Welding: Due to the combination of a small laser beam and the ability to look through a microscope, the laser welding process is able to achieve welding lines smaller than 1mm in diameter. This allows for precision material build up that decreases the amount of work required to bring the welded item back to its original state.
3) Compatibility of Materials: Since laser welding does not use an electrode, there are no impurities being introduced to the metal structure.
4) Perfect Inert Gas Protection: Due to the low heating there the is minimal impact to the protective gas atmosphere around the heat affected zone. The results are a clean weld with almost zero heat sync.
5) Ability to Weld Difficult Areas: Laser beams will always shoot straight and have zero concern for arcing. Magnetic fields do not affect the welding process. For this reason areas that are difficult to access with traditional welding are possible and easy to access and work on with laser welding. If you can see it through the microscope and get protective gas to the area, you can weld it!
