The maximum bar length is 15.000 mm with a profile width of 1.000 mm and a height of 2000 mm. Small shapes, starting from 20 x 20 mm, can be produced as well. The components are mainly welded at an angle of 90° but, if required, even tighter or larger angularity can be matched manufactured.
Laser welded profile surface
Laser fused profiles generally features a much better surface finish than hot-rolled or extruded products, as the raw material components are cut out from high quality hot rolled plate. After welding, the sections are straightened, sand blasted and in case of stainless steel pickled or passivated, to eliminate all impurities caused by the welding process. On hollow, angle and channel sections the external welds are removed prior to sand blasting, so that welds are no longer visible and these profiles have smooth and flat surfaces.
Quality control
The profiles undergo a stringent quality protocol, involving continuous checks with dedicated measuring equipment throughout the whole manufacturing process. The products and the process have been approved by several external authorities like TÜV (German Technical Inspectorate) and do comply with EN ISO 13919-1, EN ISO 15614-1, EN ISO 15609-1 and ASTM A276, A479 and A484. In 2012 Laser fused profiles by Montanstahl achieved the official product standard ASTM 1069.
