Applications of lasers in industries and laser welding: A review

Laser can be focused up to 1/1000 of a millimeter. Laser machining is clean, and free from post machining burrs. Laser technologies are highly effective and efficient in industries which has created a massive impact in manufacturing. Laser is versatile, it can be performed efficiently on a large range of materials, High precision, speed, and quality of laser machining are a few advantages of this technology. The compatibility of this technology makes it extremely convenient to incorporate into industrial lines. The utilization of Laser Technology to improve precision in production, increased automation substituting the conventional methods, which would have various drawbacks in reflected through this review paper. This review paper compiles the impact of various laser sources, industrial applications of laser on industries over conventional methods. It also summarizes the Laser Welding being used in the industries for précised manufacturing. The precision and quality of laser welding is also demonstrated by performing bead-on-plate weld on steel.
