Strion Laser, a leading innovator in handheld laser welding technology, continues to empower fabricators with advanced solutions tailored to real-world challenges. Recently, users raised two recurring questions in their welding applications: how to achieve smooth arc pit control during weld termination, and how to efficiently weld thick stainless steel plates with consistent penetration and quality.
Strion Laser has responded with a comprehensive process demonstration, sharing both detailed welding parameters and practical results from field applications.
Challenge 1: Perfect Arc Termination – Smoother, Stronger, More Aesthetic Welds
Solution: MASTER X60 Handheld Laser Welder
Core Issue: At the weld end, sudden energy drop often causes crater-like arc pits, reducing strength and appearance.
Strion Solution:
a.Smart Wire Control: Wire feed delay of 200 ms, with 10 mm backfeed + 10 mm refill length, allowing clean wire breaks without sticking.
b.Energy Ramping: Power ramp-up of 400 ms and ramp-down of 500 ms for smooth energy transition, avoiding rapid cooling and shrinkage.
c.Stable Parameters: Power 55%, frequency 20 Hz, wobble width 3.0 mm, welding speed 60 cm/min, delivering dense and uniform welds.
Result: Weld seam transitions smoothly at the end, effectively minimizing arc pits while improving both mechanical strength and surface aesthetics.

Challenge 2: High-Efficiency Welding of 8 mm Stainless Steel Plates
Solution: MASTER X80 Handheld Laser Welder with Dual-Wire Feed
Core Issue: Thick plate welding requires deep penetration with stable molten pool dynamics and strong back-side formation.
Strion Solution:
a.High Power Penetration: 100% laser power enables single-pass penetration of 8 mm stainless steel.
b.Dual-Wire Filling: Dual 1.6 mm wire, feeding at 30 cm/min, increasing filler deposition for stronger joints.
c.Uniform Heat Input: 20 Hz frequency with 5.0 mm wide oscillation ensures balanced thermal distribution and robust weld width.
d.Back-Side Formation: Consistent back-bead appearance without the need for secondary welding.
Result: Single-side welding, double-side formation – significantly boosting efficiency while ensuring deep penetration and strong fusion.
