A ring and connector made of mild steel were joined using the 60-2, 240 watt laser
This application required joining a ring and connector made of mild steel. The customer's current TIG welding process was slow, and involved high running costs for making the weld, which requires joining only, not load-bearing strength. Three spot welds were made along the join line with a 60-2 and 2.5" lens, with argon shrouding gas. Each spot was a second long.
