Brass is used for many components, but welding the copper alloy is challenging. The Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH) wants to change this together with LMB Automation. In the project LaserMessing, they are developing a laser-based manufacturing system for automated production of brass components such as fittings, bearings, valves, turbines or heat exchangers. Within the project LaserMessing, the scientists of the LZH are working on a welding process that combines laser-based deep welding and cored wire processes. The goal: a stable, automatable process with weld seams free of pores, weld spatters and underfill – for components with high aesthetic demands.
