    Lasline – gases for laser welding and brazing , Expertise that gets right to the point Laser technology – high-tech that has made its mark One of the keys to the optimal application of laser technology is the selection of the operating and process gases. With the Lasline® product line, Messer provides all of the gases and gas mixtures you need in order to successfully process materials using lasers. Flexibility for many applications Gear wheel/shaft connection, CO2 slab laser Through its special characteristics, laser welding performs welding tasks like no other process. Its most distinctive feature is the highly concentra- ted heat input. Laser welding ensures: • high welding speed • narrow HAZ • low heat input into the component • low distortion And the types of joints are also somewhat Fuel filter made of aluminum, CO2 slab laser special as compared with other welding processes: the laser is capable of penetrating straight through a component. This makes it possible to weld in areas that would otherwise be inaccessible. The automotive industry, in particular, takes full advantage of this – on car bodies, where weld points are often very well hidden, for example. In addition, the laser addresses the need for high welding speeds and low distortion. And laser welding is also ideally suited for medical technology and micro- Laser soldering, automobile body electronics.
