It has been presented fragmentary results of the investigations into the laser welding process with addition of filler metal in the form of wire, concerning the welding process stability depending on selected geometrical parameters of the set: wire tip-laser beam-material subjected to welding. It has been found that the welding process runs steadily when the laser beam impacts directly on the tip of the wire fed to the welding area and the wire tip is positioned directly on the surface of the material being welded. It has been determined the manner of liquid metal transfer from the wire tip to the liquid metal pool forming around the capillary.
