High power laser welding of thick plate is the new trend of larger equipment structure welding manufacturing. However, the technology of laser welding of thick plate has bottleneck problems, such as poor welding stability, easily generated welding defects, changeful welding appearance, and narrow welding process window. In the present project, the inductive heated molten filler / laser hybrid welding of thick plate has been proposed, and the related mechanisms and process are studied. The multiple-physical coupling model consisting of heat transfer and integrated flow field is contributed, which includes the process of inductive heating, molten filler transition, and laser keyhole welding. Based on the model, the coupling relationship between multiple heat sources and the influences of energy utilization factors of heat sources on welding result are investigated. The coupling mechanisms of heat sources are revealed, the optimization scheme of energy distribution is obtained, and the correlation theory of low-energy welding is summarized. The coupling behavior between molten filler and molten pool and the interactive relationships between molten filler, molten pool and welding keyhole are researched. The influence rules of hybrid welding molten filler on molten pool, welding keyhole and welding stability are revealed. The regulating mechanisms of molten filler to molten pool stability during thick plate welding are illuminated. And, the suppression mechanisms of molten filler to welding defects are revealed. The project results provide the theoretical and experimental foundations to realize high efficiency, low energy consumption, high quality, and high stability of thick plate welding. The project will enrich and develop the inductive heating, laser welding and hybrid welding technologies.
