For all the Details!

Laser Welding is an Art

Remember: Laser welding is as much an Art form as it is a Science.  Create you own style, experiment, adapt, and learn from you successes as well as your failures-and build upon them.  Experience is an asset, but experience is something you don’t get until after you need it!

Protect Stones

Plasti-tak can be used to protect stones and finishes.  You can find it in your office supply or hobby shop.

Document Your Work

If you have the capability, photo document your work and keep written records.  Then when you have a similar job come into the shop you can look up the setting and see how you did the previous job.

Landslide

Be sure to cut a groove in the weld zone of a thicker piece.  Then “landslide” the side walls of the host metal into the bottom of the trough you created.  Fill to the top with similar filler metal.

White Gold

White gold seems to weld better and with less micro-porosity if you use a palladium alloy with white gold.  E.g. 14k palladium white 30-gauge wire.

30 gauge Wire

You can do most welding with 30-gauge fill material.  If you need a larger piece of weld material, shoot the end of the 30 gauge wire to make it ball up to a larger diameter piece, then weld.

Half Maybe Good Enough

You don’t have to hit a weld zone with the whole beam.  Sometimes hitting it with ½ a beam will produce good results.

Laser Settings

Think of laser welding settings like water coming from a garden hose.  Turning on the water (whether all the way or partially) is the voltage.  The nozzle is the beam diameter.  How long you hold the water in one place is the equivalent of the millisecond setting.

Changing Laser Settings

A good rule of thumb for changing laser settings to enhance performance is to increase/decrease the milliseconds (duration of the beam) first, and then the beam size, and the voltage last.
