In this study, the feasibility of using non-contact Infrared thermography as a potential tool to monitor the CMT welding process is explored. The presence of internal defects such as porosity, lack of filler material deposition and formation of improper weld bead produce perturbations in the surface temperature which can be identified using an Infrared thermography technique. We present recent results obtained from online monitoring of the the dissimilar joining using CMT weld brazing of Aluminum and Steel using a transmission mode measurement approach. The effect of loss of zinc coating on the weldability of the cold metal transfer joining of aluminum to galvanised steel was investigated. A correlation between measured online thermal indications with the weld anomalies is successfully attempted and the results are compared with the conventional post-weld NDT inspection methods.
In diesem Beitrag werden zerstörungsfreie Untersuchungen mittels aktiver Thermografie an Probekörpern aus CFK und GFK mit unterschiedlichen künstlichen Fehlstellen vorgestellt. Dabei wird die zeitliche und örtliche Temperaturverteilung nach Erwärmung mit Blitzlampen oder mit einem Infrarot-Strahler mit einer Infrarot-Kamera erfasst. Zur Rekonstruktion der Messdaten wurde ein numerisches Modell entwickelt. Dazu war die Bestimmung der thermischen und optischen Materialeigenschaften erforderlich.
Estimation of heat flux parameters during static gas tungsten arc welding spot under argon shielding
(2017)
A multi-physics modelling of a static Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) operation has been established in order to estimate the heat flux exchanged between the arc plasma and the work-piece. The heat flux was described with a Gaussian function where two parameters required to be estimated: process efficiency and radial distribution. An inverse heat transfer problem (ihtp) has been developed in the aim to estimate these parameters from experimental data. Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was used as the regularization method in addition to an iterative process. The experiment consisted in a static spot weld with GTAW process. The weld spot was on for 5 s under Argon shielding gas, 2.4 mm pure tungsten electrode on a SS304L disc. Temperatures were measured with thermocouples and weld pool growth monitored with a high speed camera. The experimental data were used to solve the ihtp what led to values such as 0.7 for process efficiency and average radial distribution of 1.8 mm.
In the current work a 3D model has been developed to predict the thermal cycles during the Tungsten Inert Gas welding of Aluminum 2219. This paper describes the step by step procedure adopted to get the actual cooling rate during the TIG welding process both experimentally and numerically. The model was developed in the COMSOL Finite Element Package and considered a Gaussian heat distribution. The developed model then validated using the experimental data collected in field experiments on actual large propellant tanks. Temperature measurements were performed using Infrared Camera. Results show a close comparison between model and experiment.
The detection of cracks before the failure is highly significant when it comes to safety-relevant structures. Crack detection in metallic samples at high surface temperature is one of the challenging situation in manufacturing industries.
Laser thermography has already proved its detection capability of surface cracks in metallic samples at room temperature. In this work a continuous wave (CW) laser use to generate a laser, which is using to scan the metal surface with notch.
The corresponding heat distribution on the surface monitored using infrared thermal (IR) camera. A simplified 3D model for laser thermography is developed and validated with experimental results. A dedicated image processing algorithm developed to improve the detectability of the cracks. To understand the dependency of surface temperature, laser power, laser scanning speed etc. in defect detection, we carried out parametric studies with our validated model. Here we Report the capability of laser thermography in crack detection at elevated temperature.
The detection and characterization of surface cracks in steel specimens prior to damage is a technologically and economically highly significant task and is of utmost importance when it comes to safety-relevant structures. In steel production where steel billets at high temperatures have to be inspected while moving a number of well-established NDT methods cannot be applied. Laser thermography however is a promising candidate to serve as a fast, non-contact and remote tool in this case. We present a study that shows that the crack detection capabilities of laser thermography can be extended also to specimens at high temperature. A combination of inductive and laser heating allows to systematically study the contrast formation as well as the optimization of the important measurement parameters. The experiments are accompanied by FEM simulations that provide a better insight of the physical correlations and support the experimental developments. The aim of these studies is to develop a system with high inspection speed and detection performance to be in-line operated under the hostile environment of steel production lines.
