The Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process was combined with a Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) system for the in situ measurement of chemical compositions in austenitic stainless steels. The main aim of this project was the development of a prototype for a real-time chemical composition analysis system for welding applications. In principle, the measurement of the weld pool composition allows governing the weld pool solidification behaviour by controlling the welding parameters. This control loop allows avoiding weld defects.
Chemical compositions of the weld seam is from a metallurgical point of view the most critical parameter for the occurrence of weld defects. Additionally, this new LIBS-based measurement system can be used for the monitoring and controlling of potentially dangerous emissions during the welding process in order to improve the working safety conditions. Preliminary investigations show that the chemical composition measurement of welds with LIBS is possible during and after welding.
In situ laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy measurements in stainless steels during TIG welding
(2018)
Chemical composition of the welding seam and HAZ has significant effect on weld quality. Current inspection methods for weld seams measure and investigate post factum and cannot prevent weld defects. Element burn-off may significantly affect solidification leading to embrittlement or cracking Control of weld chemical compositions insures a controlled solidification and resistance to related weld defects. A prototype of a LIBS controlled welding process is presented.
