The use of laser welding is enlarging to new applications partly via various technological advancements. These include development of lasers and laser system components together with development in process techniques. The first studied and reported of so called laser-hybrid welding processes was laser-TIG-hybrid welding. This process has advantages over the laser-MIG-hybrid process due to the fact that wire feeding and arc parameters can really be controlled separate...

The use of cladded pipe-lines with an inner layer of stainless steel or Nickel base alloys tends to increase for deep offshore pipe line applications. End users and certification code generally ask for conventional welding. This ensures an optimum quality on the inner side of the root pass and preserves the anti-corrosion property of the inner clad. However, this is obtained with a small thickness of the first pass and a low welding speed. Laser hybrid welding seems to be an attractive technique for increasing both the thickness of the root pass and the welding speed. Combinati...

Fillet welds are inherent part of large structures in shipbuilding industry, where distortion is a major issue. Hybrid laser welding enables fully penetrated fillet welds to be achieved with a lower energy than arc-based welding processes. This has significant effect on increase of productivity, decrease of distortion and reduction of weight. To achieve defects-free welds with good fa...

Additive manufacturing is getting increasingly attractive for industrial production of unique or small series parts. Since a lot industrial metals like titanium and aluminum are established in AM processes, increasing the resolution within these processes is the next challenge. The aim is not only the production of micro-sized parts or important details, there is also a request to achieve ready to use surface qu...

The application of composites and in particular CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) is a booming market. This material tends to gradually replace metals and alloys in many fields such as automotive, renewable energies, and aerospace. Indeed, composite materials combine high mechanical performances, low weight and good corrosion resistance. However this highly technical material requires ...
