Laser Welding
Carrs Welding's laser welding employs Nd:YAG technology for high-precision metal joining with minimal heat distortion. Our pulsed laser systems achieve weld depths of 0.1-1.5mm for heat-sensitive components, while continuous wave lasers handle 1-6mm thicknesses. This technique suits aerospace components, tooling repairs, and intricate engineering applications requiring exact metallurgical bonds.
Tooling Repairs
Specialist pulsed laser welding for tooling restoration with minimal heat-affected zones. We repair injection moulds, dies, and precision components without altering material hardness or surface finish. Our process preserves critical dimensions and textures, reducing post-weld machining requirements by up to 70% compared to traditional methods.
Laser Cladding
Metallurgical bonding of dissimilar metals using laser-aided filler material deposition. This technique enhances component durability for high-stress applications like firearm parts and industrial machinery. We maintain ISO 9001 standards while restoring worn components to original specifications through multi-layer cladding processes.
TIG Welding
Manual Tungsten Inert Gas welding for precision joints in rotational and linear applications. Our certified welders use argon shielding gas to create high-integrity bonds in alloy wheels, bicycle frames, and specialist engineering components. This method allows filler material addition for joint reinforcement and stress distribution.
Laser Marking
Permanent surface marking and engraving up to 0.25mm depth using automated laser systems. We provide serial numbering, logo reproduction, and anti-counterfeit markings on metal components. Our technology accommodates curved surfaces and complex geometries while maintaining 0.01mm precision across 120mm diameter work areas.
