Economical and safe laser hybrid welding of structural steel

Objectif

Laser hybrid welding combines the best attributes of laser and arc fusion welding processes.

Optimum weld procedures allow welds to be produced which are still characterised by low distortion, high reproducibility and good fatigue performance but the inclusion of the arc fusion process permits greater fit-up tolerance and penetration for lower laser power and hence cost.

However there are currently questions concerning both the thickness and steel strength range that the various forms of hybrid welding can operate within and the propensity of the laser element to contain small defects as a consequence of the cooling process.

This project will address both of these aspects in order to allow increased commercial exploitation and hence enhance the competitiveness of European industry.
