eurotec® Maintaining Material Solutions for Laser Welding
eurotec® Maintaining Material Solutions for Laser Welding
The laser welding method that can be used in a wide range of uses such as in automotive, e-mobility, electrical & electronics, transportation, and aerospace industries, has been recognized as one of the widely used methods recently for its advantages, such as high welding speed, low energy consumption, no need for chemicals, ability to weld materials of different types and thicknesses, and avoidance of a mechanical load on the material during welding. In addition, the laser welding method that enables assembling even very small plastic parts of complex geometries has also been becoming a part of the trend towards miniaturization of electrical and electronic equipment.
Aiming to offer appropriate solutions for its stakeholders accordingly, eurotec® continues to formulate laser weldable, non-reinforced and glass fiber reinforced Polyamide and PBT – laser weldable solutions in natural and black colors for use in potential applications.
Basically, laser welding involves the absorption of a laser beam sent at a given wavelength by a laser-absorbent part by penetrating a laser-transparent part and the melting of the laser-absorbent part to form a weld pool with the laser-transparent part. This double-sided weld pool enables the two plastic parts to solidify and join under external pressure. Some of the key points to be considered in laser welding include the type and wavelength of laser to be used and the morphology and part thickness of plastics to be welded. Additionally, the use of plastics as a laser-transparent or laser-absorbent material, as well as its color and glass fiber content, is one of the important parameters that affect welding performance.
Tecomid® NB30 NL FA50 LW (PA6, halogen-free, flame-retardant, natural, laser weldable) and Tecomid® NB40 GR30 NL XA60 LW (PA6, 30% glass fiber reinforced, halogen-free, flame-retardant, natural, laser weldable) are ready for use as a welding component thanks to their laser transparency.
Tecodur® PB70 NL HS LW (PBT, heat stabilized, natural, laser weldable) and Tecodur®PB70 BK HS LW (PBT, heat stabilized, black, laser weldable) have taken their place in eurotec®'s product range as solutions that can be welded even in complex geometries as enabled by their laser transparency, providing the mechanical strength expected from a finished part.
The PBT based codes Tecodur® PB70 GR30 NL HS LW and Tecodur® PB70 GR30 BK HS LW (natural and black, respectively) are fit for any welding process with varying parameters and thicknesses thanks to their laser transparency.
Also aiming to offer materials for the laser-absorbent part that is responsible the absorption of the incoming laser beam during welding and its accurate joining with the transparent side, eurotec® has tailored its solutions with different options of mechanical properties and colors. As a result, Tecomid® NB40 GR30 BK030 XA60 LW (PA6, 30% glass fiber reinforced, halogen-free, flame-retardant) and Tecodur® PB70 GR30 BK009 HS LW (PBT, 30% glass fiber reinforced) are fit for use as a laser absorbent in a wide range of applications.
