Navigating Best Laser Choices Crucial for Microwelding

Four distinct laser types are suitable for microwelding: pulsed neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG); continuous-wave (CW) ytterbium-doped fiber; quasi-continuous-wave (QCW) fiber; and nanosecond pulsed fiber. Each laser offers unique features that work best for specific applications. In some cases, several options may be viable, but considerations for cost of ownership and serviceability often dictate the optimal laser choice.
