Laser + MAG Hybrid Welding of Various Joints

The article presents the possibilities of hybrid welding (laser + MAG arc), particularly as regards the welding of butt joints. The article discusses technological conditions and equipment configurations when welding sheets having the same and different thicknesses both in PA and PC positions. In addition, the article presents exemplary welding of multipart joints (nodes of three sheets) and angle joints using the hybrid method as well as the possibilities of combining the HLAW method with other methods.
