Overview

EN ISO 15609-6:2013 - Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials - Welding procedure specification (WPS) - Part 6: Laser‑arc hybrid welding - defines the required content of welding procedure specifications for laser‑arc hybrid welding processes. It lists the variables that influence the quality and properties of the welded joint and gives the structure and technical detail a WPS must contain. Annex A provides an example WPS format for laser‑arc hybrid welding.

Key topics and requirements

This standard requires WPS documentation to include comprehensive, traceable information that controls welding quality. Key technical topics covered:

  • Identification and traceability
    • Manufacturer identification, WPS identity and references to welding procedure qualification records (WPQR).
  • Parent materials and dimensions
    • Material identification (by relevant standards), product form and ranges for thickness and outer diameter.
  • Welding process designation
    • Use of ISO 4063 process codes (e.g., laser + arc shown as “laser + MIG” with appropriate code).
  • Joint design and preparation
    • Sketches, dimensions, tolerances, surface finish, cleaning and preparation methods.
  • Welding position and technique
    • Position designation (ISO 6947) and details of runs (tack, welding, cosmetic), oscillation parameters where applicable.
  • Fixtures, backing and shielding
    • Fixing methods, backing type (material or gas), shielding gas, flow rates, flux requirements and treatment.
  • Filler materials and equipment
    • Filler classification, wire/strip dimensions, drying/treatment needs, and equipment identification.
  • Welding parameters and thermal conditions
    • All parameters affecting the weld (laser power, arc parameters, travel speed, geometrical relationships, working distance) and ranges/tolerances.
  • Post‑weld operations
    • Operations between runs and after welding, clamping/fixture removal and any heat treatment or inspection instructions.

The standard emphasizes specifying ranges and tolerances based on manufacturer experience and noting variables that influence mechanical and metallurgical properties.

Applications and users

EN ISO 15609-6:2013 is practical for:

  • Welding engineers and procedure writers creating WPS documents for laser‑arc hybrid processes.
  • Quality assurance and inspection teams verifying compliance with documented procedures.
  • Fabricators and OEMs implementing laser‑arc hybrid welding in automotive, shipbuilding, energy, aerospace and heavy fabrication.
  • Certification and testing laboratories preparing WPQRs and validating WPS scope.
  • Standards bodies and procurement teams referencing harmonized WPS content.

Using this standard improves repeatability, traceability and acceptance of hybrid laser‑arc welds and supports compliant qualification and production control.

Related standards

  • ISO 15607 (general rules for WPS)
  • ISO 4063 (welding process nomenclature)
  • ISO 6947 (welding positions)
  • ISO 11145, ISO/TR 25901 (laser/welding terminology)

Keywords: EN ISO 15609-6:2013, welding procedure specification, WPS, laser‑arc hybrid welding, hybrid welding, WPQR, welding parameters, joint design.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15609-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee
SC 10, Unification of requirements in the field of metal welding.
ISO 15609 consists of the following parts, under the general title Specification and qualification of welding
procedures for metallic materials — Welding procedure specification:
— Part 1: Arc welding
— Part 2: Gas welding
— Part 3: Electron beam welding
— Part 4: Laser beam welding and cladding
— Part 5: Resistance welding
— Part 6: Laser-arc hybrid welding
