Laser-arc hybrid welding (LAHW), being a high-efficiency with excellent properties of high
welding speed, deep penetration, and good bridging performance, has been paid close …

This paper reports on a study aiming at comparing properties of the Ti6Al4V titanium alloy
joints between pulsed Nd: YAG laser welding and traditional fusion welding. To achieve the …

This paper presents a numerical and experimental study of residual stresses and distortions
induced by the T-joint welding of two plates. Within the framework of numerical …

Thin plates are extensively used in automotive, shipbuilding, and railway industries. Welding
technology is the main assembling method to manufacture thin plate structures because of …

Partial-length butt-welded joint is a typical weldment which is often used in vehicle parts
such as car door and body. In order to clarify the influence of contact behavior on the final …

Thin plates are widely used in aerospace, naval, and automobile industries to reduce the
weight of component. Welding distortion occurring in thin plate joint or structure is inevitable …

With the transformation and upgrading of shipbuilding industry, aluminum alloy shipbuilding
will gradually develop towards energy saving, light weight and environmental protection. As …

This study investigates the welding residual stress and distortion in T-joint welds under
various mechanical boundary conditions. An experimentally calibrated and sequentially …

A trailing ultrasonic-assisted laser welding (T-ULW) technology is first proposed to weld
SUS301 stainless steel sheet with a thickness of 0.6 mm. Secondly, welding experiments …

Predicting deformation field of butt-welded plates induced in welding process is a beneficial
task to improve the construction quality of ships and offshore structures. However, traditional …
