What is a Laser Welded Structure (LWS)?
  • Laser Welded Blanks (LWB) are created by laser
    welding flat sheet metal blanks of varying
    thickness, alloy and/or coatings
  • Laser Welded Tubes (LWT) are made by rolling a
    flat sheet of steel into a tubular shape and
    laser welding the seam to create a tubular
    structure
  • Advantages of LWS over conventional assembly
    methods include greater safety, reduced weight,
    fewer parts, less steel usage, higher quality and
    lower total cost
