Principles and idea of ​​hybrid welding

Hybrid methods combine the advantages of laser and arc welding, creating synergistic processes in which the interaction of both methods produces an effect greater than the sum of the effects of the individual techniques. Most often, laser welding (521) is combined with arc welding (131 or 135), which in the process designation takes the form, for example, 521 + 135. This approach allows for the use of both the precision and deep penetration of laser welding, as well as the flexibility and ease of feeding filler material in arc methods.

Practical applications of hybrid methods in industry

Hybrid welding is primarily used in small-scale and medium-volume production, where investment opportunities comparable to those in the automotive industry are lacking, and where weld accuracy and repeatability are paramount. A popular solution is HLAW (Hybrid Laser Arc Welding, 521 + 131/135), which combines a laser source and a MIG/MAG torch in a single head or assembly. Plasma methods (141 or 151) are also possible, allowing for aesthetically pleasing welds.

The hybrid method combines speed and deep penetration with high weld quality and the possibility of automation.

Hybrid laser welding combines high productivity, deep penetration and high weld quality with lower preparation costs, while also offering improved automation and innovative industrial applications.

Main advantages of hybrid welding:

  • Significantly higher efficiency (2–5 times compared to classical methods)

  • Higher welding speeds

  • Large penetration depth (up to 15 mm in one pass)

  • Maintaining high-quality welds with less preparation time

  • Lower unit cost of welding compared to conventional methods

  • Greater susceptibility to automation and better production repeatability

  • Innovative technology, especially in the automotive, railway, shipyard, media transmission and large-surface plate elements
