Clearweld is designed to absorb NIR laser light at 900 – 1100 nm. Common NIR laser types are diode, Nd:YAG and Fiber. Higher wavelengths such as 10,500 nm CO2 lasers, will not work with Clearweld.
Also – keep in mind the spot size and wattage of your laser, as that will determine the optimal speed for welding. To determine what weld speeds can be achieved using Clearweld, please review our Laser welding Parameters Guide.
