The influence of welding angle on weld morphologies and porosity characteristics was studied in laser-arc hybrid welding of AA2219 aluminum (Al) alloy. The upward sloping and vertical weld (USVW) was performed better than the downward sloping and vertical weld (DSVW). The high-speed camera was used to observe the welding process. It is found that the welding process becomes stable when the transitional position of the droplet was 2 mm away from the keyhole. By analyzing the force act on keyhole and characteristics of the pool, it is found that the weld morphologies and porosity characteristics were associated with gravity-laser angle (β), which affects the keyhole stability and characteristics of the pool. The results showed that the flow velocity was accelerated when the β increased, which was a benefit for decreasing porosity. This is because the gravity in the direction of the welding accelerates the pool flow. Due to the increasing of the β, the static pressure and the vapor pressure in the keyhole were increased, which improved the stability of the keyhole and decreased the porosity.
