REVOLUTIONIZING SHIPBUILDING WITH PURE LASER WELDING
The Future of Shipbuilding is Pure Laser
The shipbuilding industry is constantly evolving, demanding faster, stronger, and more
cost-effective manufacturing processes. Traditional welding methods, while proven, often
fall short when it comes to:
-
Thick-section welding without distortion
-
High-speed, high-quality welds
-
Minimizing consumables and post-processing
Civan’s Pure Laser Welding process offers a transformative solution, enabling unmatched
precision, speed, and efficiency for steel and aluminum shipbuilding applications.
The Power of Pure Laser Welding
Civan’s Dynamic Beam Lasers (DBL) introduce Pure Laser Welding, eliminating the need for filler materials and hybrid processes, while delivering:
-
Deep penetration with minimal heat input
-
High-speed welding for large-scale structures
-
Reduced distortion and post-weld correction
-
Exceptional weld quality for both steel and aluminum
25mm Steel – Full Penetration Butt Joint Welding
Welding thick steel sections is a cornerstone of shipbuilding, especially for critical structural components.
With Pure Laser Welding, shipbuilders can achieve:
-
Full penetration welds on 25mm thick steel in a single pass
-
Butt and T-joint configurations without beveling
-
​Minimal heat-affected zone (HAZ), reducing distortion and post-weld work
-
High welding speeds, significantly reducing cycle times
Result: Stronger, cleaner welds with reduced operational costs and faster
production cycles.
15mm Aluminum – Precision Butt and T-Joint Welding
Aluminum’s lightweight properties make it ideal for ship superstructures,
decks, and high-speed vessels, but it presents challenges like high reflectivity and thermal conductivity.
Civan’s Pure Laser Welding ensures:
-
Full penetration welds on 15mm thick aluminum
-
High-quality butt and T-joints with minimal porosity
-
Low heat input to prevent warping and reduce post-weld corrections
Result: Strong, lightweight welds that meet the rigorous demands of
modern shipbuilding.
