Abstract
Trends in development of laser welding, including hybrid processes, are considered. It is shown that application of laser-light equipment holds promise in terms of reduced power consumption and widened technological capabilities. The fields of potential efficient application of laser-light technologies are noted.
Keywords: laser technologies, laser welding, hybrid methods, laser-light technology, power expenditures, modelling, operational capabilities
