This paper presents the investigation on effect of laser pulse on the recovery delay of arc plasma during pulsed laser–arc hybrid welding of Mg alloy based on the dynamic behavior of Mg atoms. High-speed camera and spectrograph are employed to monitor the behaviors of Mg atom in the arc plasma and to characterize the effect of laser pulse on the arc plasma, respectively. It is found that the arc plasma cannot recover to its original state immediately after laser pulse action and it takes 0–5ms for the excessive Mg atoms to escape from the arc plasma depending on the given parameters. According to the calculation, time for Mg ions to travel from the anode to the cathode in the conduction channel of the arc plasma is less than 0.1ms. The high temperature of the laser keyhole region on the base material surface still exists when the laser pulse is removed and sustaining supply of the Mg ions from this region is the essential factor influencing recovery delay of the arc plasma.
