Today most technical parts and components are made of monolithic materials. Nevertheless,
the previously used monolithic materials reach their technological and constructive limits, so …

Experimental investigations of the impact of resonant laser absorption by a tungsten inert
gas welding arc in argon are presented. The intensity increase of the arc's radiation between …

Marine gearbox housings are large components of several metres in length and tonnes of
weight. The conventional manufacturing process is a time-consuming and elaborate process …

This paper describes the potential of a new process, combining the geometrical precision of
a laser technique and the deposition rates of GMA cladding. Dilutions as low as 3% can be …

The work presents the influence of welding current and focal position on the resonant
absorption of diode laser radiation in a TIG welding arc. The laser beam is guided …

Solid state fiber and thin disk lasers offer high power and high beam quality. They provide
the opportunity to overcome former limitations by achieving eg previously unattained …

Low-power laser radiation can be used to influence an arc welding process with the aim of
stabilisation or guiding the arc attachment at the workpiece. Recent studies showed that …

Using laser and arc power in equal parts, laser-arc hybrid welding processes are
successfully adapted by the industry. This paper shows the stabilizing effects of diode lasers …

As an energy-preserving variant of laser hybrid welding, laser-assisted arc welding uses
laser powers of less than 1 kW. Recent studies have shown that the electrical conductivity of …

The processes that were performed for the studies on manipulating the melt propagation of
the short arc gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process were carried out with a diode laser …
