AUdQYTecdbYUcbTeSYWdXYS[cUSdYcXQfUcXgYSbUQcYWYdUbUcdYQcUbsQbS hybrid welding processes because of their clear advantages compared with the individual bSUccUcVQedWUecQcUbgUTYWQTQbSgUTYW%CU]QZbRUUVYdVQcUbsQbSXiRbYT welding is that compared to autogenous laser, welding joints with larger gaps can be welded with acceptable quality. The laser-arc hybrid welding process has good potential to extend the field of applications of laser technology, and provide significant improvements in weld quality and process efficiency in manufacturing applications. The objective of this review is to present a set- eVbQcUbsQbSXiRbYTgUTYWbSUccUcQTYdbTeSUQ]UdXTYSQS]QbYcVdXUSXcU parameters. The research describes the principles, means and applications of different types of QcUbsQbSXiRbYTgUTYWbSUccUc% Based on a review of the current knowledge base, important areas for further research are also identified. The study uses quantitative and qualitative research methods which include in-depth, interpretive analyses of results from a number of research groups. In the interpretive analysis, the emphasis is placed on the relevance and usefulness of the investigative results drawn from other research publications.
