Northern's trade secret laser welding process creates high-quality welds (see right). We have been developing our laser welding capabilities on steel and stainless steel fabrications since 2000. Recently, we have produced welds that were full penetrating, exceeded the material strength, and looked great even without any finishing operations. Additionally, laser welding creates a low heat affected zone and therefore causes little welding distortion in your parts, allowing us to hold tighter tolerances in critical areas.

Laser Welding Advantages

  • Increased weld penetration and consistency
  • Low heat input for minimum part distortion
  • Minimal heat affected zone
  • Increased welding speed and accuracy
  • Aesthetically pleasing welds without post processing

Should I Consider Laser Welding?

 
Do you require welding in an area with tight tolerances?
Is weld strength or penetration critical to your fabrication?
Is weld appearance important to your customers?
Are you having quality issues due to welding distortion?
Are welding costs a significant percentage of your product costs?
