Presented at ICALEO 2012
High-strength and ultra high-strength steels are used more and more frequently in the engineering industry. The welding of high-strength steels requires lower heat input welding processes to achieve matching joints. Laser and laser-GMA hybrid welding processes are used for the welding of these kinds of steels. The Finnish steel maker Rautaruukki makes high and ultra-high strength steels under the trademark Optim. In earlier studies, the welding position for these steels has been a flat position ...$28.00
