• Laser-arc hybrid welding of 12- and 15-mm thick structural steel 

      Bunaziv, Ivan; Dørum, Cato; Nielsen, Steen Erik; Suikkanen, Pasi; Ren, Xiaobo; Nyhus, Bård; Eriksson, Magnus Carl Fredrik; Akselsen, Odd Magne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      High-power lasers are very effective in welding of plates thicker than 10 mm due to the keyhole mode. High-power intensity generates a vapor-filled cavity which provides substantial penetration depth. Due to the narrow and ...
    • Porosity and solidification cracking in welded 45 mm thick steel by fiber laser-MAG process 

      Bunaziv, Ivan; Frostevarg, Jan; Ren, Xiaobo; Kaplan, Alexander F.H.; Akselsen, Odd Magne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Porosity and solidification cracking in joining of thick sections are very common issues in deep penetration keyhole laser-arc hybrid welding (LAHW). In the present work, 45 mm thick high strength steel was joined by a ...
