The following observations can be made: - The estimated strain and displacement for conducted tensile test are generally very close to those measured with conventional DIC-technique. - The LK technique allows measurement of strain or displacement without special selection of a region of interest. Using a novel optical measurement technique together with the optical flow algorithm, a twodimensional deformation analysis during welding was conducted. This technique is the first to provide a measurement of the full strain field locally in the immediate vicinity of the solidification front. Additionally, the described procedure of the optical measurement allows the real material-dependent values of critical strain characterizing the transition to hot cracking during laser welding processes to be determined.

The solidification cracking in the weld root is a result of interaction between metallurgical and geometrical and thermomechanical factors. Experimentally, a direct correlation between the welding speed and the crack number was observed. That is by reducing the welding velocity, the crack number was decreased. The focal position shows also a significant influence on the crack number. By focusing the laser on the specimen surface, the crack number has been significantly diminished. The wire feed speed showed a very slight influence on the crack formation. That is due to the large distance between the critical region for cracking and the arc region. The numerical model shows a high stress concentration in the weld root for both components (vertical and transversal). Numerically, the reduced welding speed showed a strong impact on stress, as the model demonstrated a lower stress amount by decreasing the welding speed. The metallurgical factors, such as the assumed accumulation of the low-melting eutectics in the weld root, should be a contribution for solidification cracking, where the tensile stress is acting.

Characterisation of cracking susceptibility requires knowledge of the precise and spatially resolved temperature distribution near the solidification front in the welding process. Thermography is a standard tool that provides a qualitative estimate of the 2D temperature field. The general disadvantage of this method is its dependence on the emission characteristics of the measured object. For welding applications, these can vary significantly in the temperature range above and below the melting temperature. For this purpose, we have developed a thermography-based measurement technique using a SWIR camera system in combination with two narrow bandpass filters that use the principle of two-wavelength pyrometry to estimate absolute temperature values. This technique was used to determine the temperature distributions and gradients near the solidification front of laser-welded austenitic steel. The results were validated by other measurements.

T1 - Strain Prediction Using Deep Learning during Solidification Crack Initiation and Growth in Laser Beam Welding of Thin Metal Sheets N2 - The strain field can reflect the initiation time of solidification cracks during the welding process. The traditional strain measurement is to first obtain the displacement field through digital image correlation (DIC) or optical flow and then calculate the strain field. The main disadvantage is that the calculation takes a long time, limiting its suitability to real-time applications. Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made impressive achievements in computer vision. To build a good prediction model, the network structure and dataset are two key factors. In this paper, we first create the training and test sets containing welding cracks using the controlled tensile weldability (CTW) test and obtain the real strain fields through the Lucas–Kanade algorithm. Then, two new networks using ResNet and DenseNet as encoders are developed for strain prediction, called StrainNetR and StrainNetD. The results show that the average endpoint error (AEE) of the two networks on our test set is about 0.04, close to the real strain value. The computation time could be reduced to the millisecond level, which would greatly improve efficiency.

Solidification cracking as well as the weldability of materials is still since many years a highly contentious issue, particularly regarding the causes of the hot crack formation. Many of studies have been conducted to determine the critical conditions of occurrence of the solidification cracking. In this study a 2D in-situ observation technique in conjunction with laser diodes as the illuminating source has been employed to measure the arising strain field during the laser beam welding process. For the first time the employed technique enabled the in-situ measurement of the transient strain field at the surface of the workpiece directed to the laser beam in the critical range, where the solidification cracking normally occurs. Thus the critical threshold strain values at high temperatures characterizing transition from crack free to crack concomitant welding process could be deduced.
