Abstract:
A system and method for controlling a hybrid welding process. An integrated hybrid welding power source includes a first power supply for providing a first welding output and a second power supply for providing a second welding output. The first power supply and the second power supply are operatively connected to coordinate the first welding output with the second welding output in real time while operating concurrently.
Abstract:
A hybrid welding apparatus, and a system (10) and method for welding at least two adjacent components having a large gap (50) of approximately 3.0 millimeters that results in a full-penetration weld (54) is provided. The welding system (10) includes a hybrid welder (20) having a defocused laser beam (30), an electric arc welder (40), and at least one bridge piece (60) adjacent to one or more of the at least two adjacent components (62, 64). The defocused laser beam (30) and the electric arc welder (40) are arranged and disposed to direct energy onto the at least two adjacent components (62, 64) to create a common molten pool (52) operable to provide a full penetration weld (54) to bridge the gap (50) at a high constant weld speed, thereby joining the two adjacent components (62, 64) with a weld (54).
Abstract:
A hot-pressed member is formed using a tailored blank material obtained by butt joining respective ends of two or more coated steel sheets. The hot-pressed member has two or more sites formed by the respective coated steel sheets and at least one joining portion between the sites. Depending on a type of a coated layer of each of the coated steel sheets, t w /t 0 is appropriately controlled where t w is a thickness of a thinnest portion in the joining portion and t 0 is a thickness of a thinnest site of the sites. A tensile strength of each of the sites is 1180 MPa or more.

Abstract:
A dual-wire hybrid welding system (10) includes a hybrid welding apparatus (20) having laser, electric arc welder (40) and second wire feeding device (50). Electric arc welder (40) includes first wire feeding device (42) for feeding first wire (44). Second wire feeding device (50) is arranged and disposed to feed a second wire (52) to electric arc welder (40). Laser (30) and electric arc welder (40) are arranged and disposed to direct energy toward at least two adjacent components (70) along a joint and first wire (44) is a consumable electrode fed into joint to establish molten pool generated by both laser (30) and arc welder (40) with first wire (44). Second wire (52) is fed to molten pool to form a common molten pool (60). Common molten pool (60) is operable to provide a full penetration weld (92) with less total heat input to join the at least two adjacent components (70) without cracking the components (70) at a high constant weld speed.
Abstract:
A welding system comprises a two manipulators and a controller. A first manipulator has a joint detection device and a first welding device, usually of the laser type while the second manipulator has a second welding device, usually of the arc weld type. The joint detection device is operative to read welding joint characteristics along a welding joint. The controller determines a corrected trajectory based on a predetermined welding trajectory and on the welding joint characteristics read by the joint detection device. This corrected trajectory is transmitted with a first time delay to the first manipulator and with a second time delay to the second manipulator. The second time delay is a function of a distance between the joint detection device and the second welding device. A corresponding method for welding components along a welding joint is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present relates to a method of welding in deep joints in narrow-gap (22) geometry. The two metallic components 12, 14 are arranged next to each other such that there is nearly a zero gap between the two components 12, 14. The step of joining two metallic components 12, 14 is performed in two stages, the first stage being a root weld 40 and the second stage being a fill up weld 42. The root weld 40 is completed at the joining of the two discs 12, 14 starting from a middle portion 58 to a point 60 up to which there is still a zero gap between the two discs 12, 14. From the point 60 there exists a non-zero gap between the two discs 12, 14 up to an outer portion 62. The filler gap 50 is filled by fill up welding 42. During fill up welding 42, a filler wire 44 is melted along with the two discs 12, 14 by using the first source of energy 18, and to fill the filler gap 50 along with molten material of the two discs 12, 14.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for affixing a metal cladding (3) to a metal base (2). The method includes: heating the metal cladding (3) and a surface of the metal base (2) with a heating device (11) to create a molten metal pool (20) having molten metal cladding layered upon molten metal base material in the metal base (2); stabilizing a temperature gradient of the molten metal pool (20) with a laser beam directed into the molten metal pool (20); and cooling the molten metal pool (20) to affix solidified cladding to the metal base (2).
