In a method for welding using a wire-shaped filler and at least one laser beam, the wire-shaped filler is advanced in the direction of the surface of the workpiece by a wire feed mechanism. The wire-shaped filler is successively fused during the feed movement thereof. The wire-shaped filler and the material are connected to an electrical voltage source and form an electrical circuit. The electrical voltage, the electrical current and/or the electrical resistance are measured and used as control variables for the wire feed movement and/or the power of the at least one laser beam. Use of the laser beam is modified when a predefined threshold value of the electrical voltage and/or of the electrical current are fallen short of or a predefined threshold value of the electrical resistance is exceeded.

A high strength and corrosion resistant ferrochrome alloy bulk is disclosed, which comprises, in weight percent: 30-68% Cr, 1.5-8% Ni, 1.6-6% C, and the balance Fe and incidental impurities, of which a Fe/Ni ratio is in a range from 5 to 10 and a Cr/C ratio is in a range between 10 and 33. Experimental data reveal that, samples of the high strength and corrosion resistant ferrochrome alloy bulk all possess hardness above HV400 and excellent corrosion resistance due to the high content of Cr. As a result, experimental data have proved that the high-strength and corrosion-resistant ferrochrome alloy bulk of the present invention has a significant potential to replace conventional high-strength stainless steels, so as to be widely applied in various industrial fields, e.g., aviation, transportation, marine facility components, chemical equipment and pipe fittings, engine parts, turbine blades, valves, bearings, building materials, and so on.
