Titel
Heat sources of hybrid laser-arc welding processes
Abstract
In this chapter, the different types of heat sources commonly used in hybrid laser-arc welding are discussed. First, the most important characteristics of laser beams and the available high-power laser types for welding purposes are presented. Then, several methods of welding with electric arcs are described in detail. Finally, various ways of combining electric arcs with laser beams to hybrid laser-arc processes are shown.
