Warping/Warpage
Explanation:
German Text should be "geringen Verzügen". That is, due to the only localised energy input by the laser beam, the aluminum structures are subject to less warping (or warpage, if you prefer). There is no "geringes Versagen" in German. Warping is often a problem with welding, which Laser helps to avoid.

Obviously a typo, so hard to be certain, but this seems to make most sense. Thanks for all suggestions.
