Laser assisted arc welding process for dry hyperbaric deep water application

Hyperbaric Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is an important technology for repair welding of deep sea pipelines and linking of existing pipeline networks to newer ones through tie-ins and hot-tap welding. With increasing water depth the process becomes susceptible to hydrogen assisted cracking due to th...
