Laser Welded Profiles

Hadley Groups In-Line Laser Welding facility ensures minimal rehandling; improving efficiency and reducing costs.

 

                               

Our integrated Laser Welding plant incorporates a laser beam delivery system unique to the Hadley Group within the UK. It allows fully closed profiles to be produced in all metals from general applications in Hot Rolled material through to the more exotic applications in Stainless Steel and Structural micro alloy grades.

 

Gauge ranges from 0.7mm through to 4.0mm can be accommodated, this coupled with in line pre-piercing facilities and a flying shear cut off can generate finished profiles of almost any length. Pre-piercing and speed of process also gives significant cost down benefits to end users where post mandrel piercing and secondary cutting to length are being utilised.

Currently we are serving customers in the following sectors : Industrial Design, Retail Racking, Construction, Transport and Automotive

 

The Benefits of Laser Welding

(1) Strength of the Joint
A Laser Welded section possesses a "Clean Joint" which retains the inherent strength of the parent metal.

(2) Minimal Profile Distortion
Unlike standard Hi-Frequency welds, Laser welded sections possess a miminised HAZ (Heat Affected Zone)

(3) No internal weld bead
Profiles can be produced with consistent positioning of the weld seam which does not need to be dressed therefore offering greater scope for telescopic applications.

(4) Key Hole welding
The point of heat is highly restricted thereby creating a miminised HAZ (Heat Affected Zone)
