The Use of Laser Welded Profiles in Architecture

Many profiles end up used as structural supports for ceilings in warehouses, airports and large structures that need to support high levels of stress. Profiles end up being used in the manufacturing of machines, the petrochemical industry or in building facades. The unique ability to detect potential irregularities in the product makes the process of laser welding a highly effective method for creating crucial structures. Laser welding ensures a constant level of strength through the entire structure and perfectly parallel flanges. Another benefit of laser welding includes the ability to create exact edges and a completely even surface structure. None of this is possible with conventional steel products. 
Architects are starting to use this technology due to the increased smoothness and homogeneity that the process provides. Any deposits on the steel get removed easily and the difference in quality is readily apparent. In the past, steel was a crucial structural element for any building. Now, with this new technology, architects can get more creative and build beautiful structures that stand the test of time and look beautiful. The advent of laser welding has made it possible for architects to incorporate new designs for building facades. Laser profiles are highly desirable for their perfect angles and ability to withstand high levels of stress.
Specially designed machines use pre-material that gets fed into a machine in a variety of positions. The lasers then act upon the material to weld it into the desired profile shapes. Profile lengths can extend as long as 15 meters. Additional, with laser welded profiles it's possible to optimize the profile based on their suggested application. Low stress profile zones can be produced with reduced strength steel and high stress zones can use higher strength steel. 
High-end stainless steel architecture and design benefit from laser fusion by the ability to weld pre-polished steel components. The components can be welded without any damage to the surface and maintain the luster of the exterior. Low-level weld penetration can be used to achieve more delicate and smaller structures. Architects use steel profiles to create eye-catching steel curtain walls, canopies and high-end surface finishes.
