Influence of joint geometry and fit-up gaps on hybrid laser-metal active gas (MAG) welding
Source abstract
Abstract
This article presents the results of an experimental program to investigate the sensitivity of the hybrid laser-MAG welding process to gaps between the work pieces being welded. It was concluded that the minimum throat depth of the welds remained surprisingly stable for fillet welds as long as the metal active gas (MAG) parameters were set high enough to fill the gaps involved (up to a gap size of approximately 3 mm). If the MAG parameters were insufficient then the welding process collapsed with increasing gap widths.
