Abstract
A welding system and method is provided for welding heavy plate, where the method and device include using a laser which directs a beam to a first weld puddle to weld at least a portion of a work piece and a welding torch to direct a first welding electrode to the first weld puddle while the beam is being directed to the weld puddle. The welding torch deposits the first welding electrode to create a first weld bead. A flux nozzle is employed to deposit a welding flux onto the weld bead, and a submerged arc welding torch is used to direct a submerged arc filler metal to the weld bead to create a second weld bead through a submerged arc welding process, where the submerged arc welding process melts a portion of the first weld bead to consume the melted portion into the second weld bead.
