Abstract
Methods were developed, and parameters were selected for hybrid laser-arc welding. It was established that hybrid laser-arc welding allows producing joints on low and medium titanium alloys with properties that are not inferior to those of the base metal. Impact toughness of the hybrid laser-arc welded joints on high titanium alloy T110 is much higher than that of the laser welded joints.
