Laser Welding Is Built for Thin Sheets 2T Galvanized Steel Welding Demo｜Zero Spatter, No Polishing Required
Tired of excessive spatter and post-weld polishing on galvanized steel? We get it.
In the field, welding isn’t just about joining materials anymore. It affects your product’s appearance, delivery time, and even whether your customer comes back with another order.
This time, we did it live outdoors:
2T Galvanized Steel × Laser Welding × Single Wire Feeding × Gas Shielding—full workflow, real footage.
Our Setup
- Handheld Laser Welding Machine × Single Wire Feeding System
- 2T Galvanized Steel × Outdoor Conditions
- Gas Shielding: Enhances weld stability and appearance
Actual Welding Results
- No spatter, no cracking
- Stable molten pool, smooth weld bead
- Ready for delivery right after welding—no polishing needed
It’s like drawing a line—clean, sharp, no rework, no guesswork, and no more relying on welding intuition.
| Aspect | Traditional Welding | Laser Welding |
|---|---|---|
| Spatter Control | Frequent spatter due to zinc coating | Minimal spatter, stable molten pool |
| Porosity Rate | Zinc vaporization leads to pores | Concentrated heat input, few pores |
| Bead Appearance | Requires post-weld polishing | Clean finish, no polishing needed |
| Deformation Control | Large heat-affected zone, prone to warping | Low heat input, minimal deformation |
| Automation Compatibility | Heavily dependent on operator experience | Compatible with robotic arms and wire feeding |

Application Scenarios & Production Line Use Cases
| Scenario | Key Requirements | Laser Welding Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Home Appliance Manufacturing | High aesthetic standards, clean seams | No polishing, clean welds, fast forming |
| Automotive Sheet Metal | Tight spaces, difficult inner frames | Single-sided welding, invisible joints |
| Agricultural Machinery Sheet Metal | Large thickness variation, burn risk | Excellent thermal control, handles varying materials |
| Automated Production Lines | Consistent quality, shorter takt time | Supports wire feeding/robot arms & CCD positioning |
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. With proper process control and a stable weld pool, it's possible to achieve spatter-free, crack-free welds that require no post-weld grinding.
Absolutely. Laser welding integrates seamlessly with wire feeding and robotic systems, offering high precision and repeatability—ideal for automated large-scale manufacturing.
The main cause is poor control of zinc vaporization or excessive heat input. Laser welding's concentrated heat significantly reduces porosity and spatter.
