Hybrid-welding is a composite process combining two different, independent heat sources to obtain a synergic result of characteristics widely superior to those obtained when the processes are applied in succession. Most common, widely studied and applied is Laser enhanced Arc welding, where certain types of Laser sources are selected for their suitability to the purpose, [...]
