Laser/Arc Power Ratio
Note: Hybrid laser-arc combines deep penetration of laser with gap-bridging of arc welding. Laser leads, arc follows. Typical ratio 1:1 to 3:1 laser:arc power.
Reference
Hybrid Laser-Arc Welding:
Total Power = P_laser + P_arc
P_arc = I x V / 1000 (kW)
Heat Input = (P_laser*eta_l + P_arc*eta_a) / speed
Penetration ~ 1.3-1.5x laser-alone depth
Synergy effect from combined heat sources
