Abstract
Disclosed is a method for hybrid welding in which a laser beam is applied to the welding position of objects to be welded, and at the same time, a first wire is fed to the welding position so as to perform arc welding using an arc generated between the objects to be welded and the first wire. In this method, one or more second wires are fed to a molten weld pool formed by the laser beam and arc welding, thereby increasing the amount of welding without increasing the arc current.
