Hybrid Laser-Arc Welding (HLAW) technique is an enabler for the next generation high efficiency we lding, bu t in dustrial ad option ha s be en li mited du e to pr ocess complexity. Previously documented challenges with root cracks posed by incomplete penetration were significant; h owever, t his w ork p resents s uccessful w eld s amples p repared f rom S 690QL steel welded from two sides with a 16 kW disc laser. Weld travel speeds below 500 mm/min and weld line energies between 1.7 and 1.9 kJ/mm gave sound weld samples, evaluated for yield strength, elongation, hardness and Charpy-V toughness according to DS/EN ISO 10025-6:2004+A1. The results shown here indicate a significant i ncrease i n t he overall e fficiency of but t wel ds in high strength steels and further cement the HLAW process for high strength steels. It is shown that the consecutive nature of the weld procedure led to non-negligible interpass temperatures for the second weld.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
