Technical and process fetaures
The laser application in the ship building process
In the naval applications welding of thick plates (>15 mm) has become of crucial importance. Nowadays, the common techniques involve traditional welding techniques to fill a gap. These techniques are, inevitably, time consuming, material consuming and complicated. In addition, the strong thermal inputs of the traditional welding technologies, causes deformations and defects, that influences the following assembling processes.
To overcome these drawbacks, Castellini proposes an Hybrid Laser-Arc Welding (HLAW) technique in a configuration which allows to achieve a sound weld of two plates, 20 mm thick, of naval steel in a single pass and in butt weld configuration (I-shape, no chamfer).
These new and innovative configuration open the doors to new performances and new targets to be reached!
