Competing Process Advantages of Laser Welding
Gas Metal Arc :Faster welding rates by an order of magnitude; low distortion;
no filler metal required; single-pass two-side welding
Submerged Arc:Faster welding rates; low distortion;
no flux or filler needed
Resistance Welding:Non-contact, eliminating any debris buildup;
can reach otherwise inaccessible locations; faster welding rates
Electron Beam oes not need to be performed in a vacuum; on-line processing;
shorter cycles and higher uptimes; welds magnetic materials;
does not require radiation shielding
