In the crane and freight vehicle manufacturing industry, lightweight construction is a strong issue. A reduction of material thickness in extension arms of cranes or mobile concrete pumps leads to an increase of the number of segments possible and therefore to a longer reach and a higher payload. For these applications, a wide range of high strength fine grain steels for coarse plates has been developed. While these steels hav...$28.00

This paper presents the results of an experimental and theoretical analysis of the effect of joint gap on the strength of hybrid laser-MIG welds. The welds were of the non-full penetration butt type with various joint gaps but identical weld penetration. Impact testing established that a zero gap gave a weak weld because the weld geometry contained the equivalent of a sharp crack ...$28.00

Presented at PICALO 2006
This paper describes an initial investigation of hybrid laser welding in conjunction with enhanced control short-circuiting techniques in Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). A high power diode laser has been used together with controlled dip transfer, to improve deposition rate while achieving deep penetration, high welding speed and high quality butt welds in thin plain carbon steel sheet. The effect of the laser energy on the inherent control of the GMAW system is discussed and the results are compared with conv...$28.00
