Thermal Efficiency Analysis for Laser-Assisted Plasma Arc Welding of AISI 304 Stainless Steel

Synergistic effects during hybrid laser-arc welding may cause increased process efficiencies. However, the basic interactions behind these effects are still being discussed, with some contradictory reports. In this study, particular welding parameters of interest were systematically varied to furthe...
