  • Laser welding method
    Patent number: 8366860
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for laser welding at least two components made of plastic, particularly a pipe and a carrier plate, wherein the first component at least in certain regions has a relatively high permeability for the laser beam used during laser welding. The second component at least in certain regions has a relatively low permeability for the laser beam used during laser welding. A compact design of the components can be achieved if the laser beam reaches the respective weld location by means of refraction and/or reflection during laser welding.
