Welding and Cutting

Welding is one of the main industrial applications of high power laser systems. When paired with traditional arc welding, the laser becomes an even more valuable tool for welding, able to perform a wide variety of industrial functions. This book provides a comprehensive review of hybrid laser-arc welding technology and its applications, as well as a summary of recent research involving the hybrid welding process.

The book is divided into two main parts:

The first part reviews fundamentals and characteristics of the hybrid laser-arc welding process, including chapters on the properties of joints produced by the process and methods of assessing weld quality.More>>

The second part of the book discusses the applications of the technology, including shipbuilding and industrial robotic applications, as well as hybrid laser-arc welding as it is used in the processing of magnesium alloys, aluminum and steel.More>>

With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Hybrid laser-arc welding, is a valuable source of reference for all those using this important welding technology.
