Abstract
Industries which produce structural components have recently shown remarkable interest for the hybrid joining techniques due to their sheer benefits as compared to the fundamental welding methods. The hybrid welding process has vast potential by extending applications of different fields like laser, plasma, arc, and adhesives. As a fringe benefit, it provides considerable advantages like better weld quality and higher efficiency of joints. This study delineates the basic principles, methods and usages of plethora of hybrid joining processes. Various hybrid joining techniques are introduced and their outcomes from vast literature are studied to find the scope of this technology for commercial applications. In every field, to go further for new developments, the literature survey is the very initial step to have a look at different approaches and to select the topic to be studied and investigated. The main argument of this review paper is to understand the latest technologies in the area of hybrid joining techniques, their improved utility in various industrial applications and identification of some areas for further research.
