RESUMO
As an innovative technique, laser-GMAW hybrid welding manifests significant superiority in enhancing welding productivity and quality, albeit the optimization of process parameters poses a challenge for practical application. The present manuscript elucidates the influence of process parameters on the dimensional characteristics of the welding seam and the distortion of 8 mm T-joints in the context of laser-GMAW hybrid welding, and channels both simulation and experimentation. The outcomes denote that the dual conical model serves as an efficacious aid for the numerical simulation of T-joint laser-GMAW hybrid welding. Furthermore, the repercussions of process parameters on welding seam dimensional characteristics remain consistently similar in both the simulation and experimental results. From the simulation outcomes, it becomes apparent that the distortion of the base material can be efficiently managed by implementing anti-distortion measures. This inquiry offers both a theoretical and experimental foundation for optimizing process parameters of T-joint laser-GMAW hybrid welding, presenting certain engineering applicability.
