Abstract:
In this paper, the optimization of laser-MAG hybrid welding parameters of 10CrNi3MoV ship steel was developed. Using the Box-Behnken Design (BBD) model in Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and taking laser power, welding speed and welding current as response factors, the design matrix was completed and verified by experiment. The regression model associated with welding parameters was established by measuring the response indices, such as penetration, tensile strength and impact absorption energy. Through the model check, it was found that the accuracy of penetration and tensile strength of the model was high, and the optimized parameters were as follows: laser power (P) = 3700 W, welding speed (V) = 0.8 m/min, wire feeding speed (Vs) = 7 m/min. On the premise of meeting mechanical performance inspection standards, the maximum penetration was 8 mm.

The process of RSM involves several key steps:
Steel Fastening Techniques
Rivets are cylindrical steel fasteners with a specially designed head. During application, rivets are heated until white-hot and then inserted through pre-drilled holes in the steel sections. A pneumatic hammer is used to shape the exposed end into a second head, securing the sections together.

Mechanical Characteristics of Steel
The tension test is fundamental for determining tensile strength. In this test, a steel specimen is stretched using a gripping device until it breaks. The data collected during this test are used...
