Automatic detection of lack of fusion defects in CO2 laser gear welding
Source abstract
Abstract
Laser welding is becoming increasingly important in the automotive industry and quality of the weld is critical for a successful application. In many cases the increase in welding speed provided by laser welding has resulted in the need for an automated, on-line weld monitoring system. This article describes a methodology for monitoring laser gear welding with the objective of detecting lack of fusion defects. The proposed system is evaluated experimentally. It is also shown that the proposed signal processing and modeling technique can be used to detect porosity in the welds.
