A1 - Rethmeier, Michael T1 - High power laser beam welding of thick materials using EM melt pool control N2 - Electromagnetic weld pool support system is illustrated successfully for hybrid laser arc welding of 20 -30 mm ferromagnetic Steels Welding of thick-walled steels in flat position and reduced welding velocities is possible Gap and misalignment between welded plates can be tolerated by use of this Technology Opportunity to reduce the laser beam power because of reduced welding velocity respectively increase of weldable material thickness with a 20 kW- fibre laser Mechanical properties of welds are in correspondence with requirements of Standards.
