Copper Metal Laser Welder for Liquid Cooling Plate

Copper reflects more laser energy and conducts heat faster. This makes energy coupling, shielding gas setup, and fixture heat management more sensitive. The process needs to be dialed in for copper specifically, not just carried over from aluminum settings.

In typical copper work, 2000W is often suitable for sections around 1mm - 2mm, while 3000W provides more reliable process margin for sections around 2mm - 3mm. Sample testing is the most reliable way to confirm.

Yes, often it does. Copper's fast heat conduction means the fixture must help manage heat flow and clamping stability more carefully than on most aluminum jobs. Standard copper fixtures or heat-aware support tooling are common solutions.

In principle, the machine platform can support both, but process parameters, shielding, and fixture logic usually need to be adjusted separately. If your production regularly switches between materials, we recommend reviewing both material sets during sample evaluation.

We strongly recommend it. Because copper behaves differently across grades and part structures, a sample review is the fastest way to confirm the right power, shielding, and fixture arrangement for your actual product.
