Which is better for welding thin plates, conventional welding or handheld welding?

There has been a controversy between the traditional tig welding and handheld welding, about the advantages of the two types of equipment welding, some people think that the traditional tig welding is good, some people think that the handheld welding is good, but in fact, the two devices have their own merits. At present, whether only heavy industry or light industry, the welding effect of the aesthetics, fineness have certain requirements, the use of thin metal plate industry more and more, then the traditional welding and handheld welding welding thin plate that will be better?

Traditional argon arc welding is based on the principle of ordinary arc welding, the use of argon gas to protect the metal welding consumables, through the high current so that the welding consumables in the welded substrate melted into a liquid state to form a soluble pool, so that the welded metal and welding consumables to achieve metallurgical bonding of a welding technology. It can weld copper, aluminum, alloy steel and other non-ferrous metals.

But it also has some shortcomings. Argon arc welding because of the large heat-affected area, the workpiece in the welding process often causes deformation, hardness reduction, sanding, local annealing, cracking, pinholes, abrasion, scratches, biting edges, or insufficient bonding and internal stress damage and other shortcomings. Therefore, he is more suitable for welding relatively thick materials than welding thin plates.

Handheld laser welding machine is just the opposite, the configuration of the control system can be based on different thicknesses of material requirements for power, spot size and light pattern adjustment, which makes the welded effect of higher yield, handheld welding welding thin plate, not only faster, greatly improving the welding efficiency, but also to do the weld beautiful, no scars, no discoloration, no need for subsequent grinding, which can be seen that the handheld welding Welding thin plate is more advantageous.
