    The hybrid welding process, which combines two welding processes together (e.g. laser and an arc), has received much consideration in recent years as a high speed, highly competent, excellent quality welding process which recompenses weaknesses of the individual welding processes. A variety of experiments in laser/MIG/MAG hybrid weldin...

    Presented at ICALEO 2008

    Laser welding and laser-GMA hybrid welding using an 8 kW fiber laser was investigated. Steel plates from low alloyed steel (e. g. pipeline steel X65) having a thickness of 10 mm up to 20.5 mm were joined under various conditions. Single layer laser welding and laser-GMA hybrid welding as well as multi layer hybrid welding were investigated for different seam preparation types. Butt welds and different types of single-V butt welds with broad root face have been tested. The gap and the edge misalignment have been v...

    Direct metal deposition (DMD) allows to generate complex structures from the interaction between a projected powder and a laser beam, with or without using a coaxial device. One of the main issues to address concerns the prediction of layer widths and heights from the laser and powder parameters, in order to allow thermal or thermo-mechanical modelling in a second step. Indeed, most...

    A major use of metal additive welding is the repair of damaged or worn turbine blades. Current methods used to produce multiple layer repairs in high nickel content alloys have shown an inability to prevent intergranular cracking and levels of porosity in the deposited material. These problems are c...

    In order to generate 3D complex structures by laser cladding, it is necessary to control the width and the height of the deposited material. First, we present a general overview of the problem. The phenomenological model linking the main the process parameters with the output parameters (width and height of the deposited material) is presented. As this model evidences, the proce...

    Presented at ICALEO 2008

    Laser metal deposition is a process that involves laser processing of fine metal powders into forming three-dimensional structures. Its versatility offers immense opportunities in numerous applications. However, the deposited material using the powder blown process is often plagued by inherent defects such as porosity which cannot be tolerated in certain applications. The origin of the gas porosity observed i...
