Feasibility Study of Hybrid Laser Arc Welding Application in Shipbuilding

Abstract:

Analysis of modern tendencies in digitalization of economics prove the increasing interest of industrial enterprises towards new digital manufacturing technologies. Industrial laser technologies are developing really fast in various branches of industry. Perspectives of hybrid laser welding industrial application particularly in shipbuilding are rather interesting. Introduction of hybrid laser arc welding in shipbuilding increases strongly economic efficiency of the production process. Each project needs preliminary assessment. Feasibility study of replacing the automatic welding equipment by modern hybrid laser arc welding technology at a shipbuilding yard shows its relevance and importance.
