A customer sent us an intercooler unit that had been welded multiple times by another party, yet the leakage problem remained unresolved. Despite repeated attempts using a fiber laser welding process, the welds failed to seal the leak effectively.
Our team took over the job and applied a hands-on welding approach using TIG (GTAW). With precise control over heat input and filler material, we successfully sealed the leakage and restored the intercooler to proper working condition.
Findings from this case study:
Fiber Laser Welding
-
Suitable for fast production with minimal skill required
-
Limited when dealing with varying or thicker material
-
Welding strength may not meet industrial expectations in certain applications
TIG (GTAW) Welding
-
Capable of handling a wide range of material thickness
-
Welding strength meets high industrial standards
-
Takes a longer time, but delivers reliable results
Conclusion:
While fiber laser welding offers speed and efficiency, TIG welding remains the preferred solution when strength, precision, and reliability are critical.
