A laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) system was combined with a bead-on-plate Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process for the in situ measurement of chemical compositions in austenitic stainless steels during welding.Monitoring the weld pool's chemical composition allows governing the weld pool solidification behavior, and thus enables the reduction of susceptibility to weld defects. Conventional inspection methods for weld seams (e.g. ultrasonic inspection) cannot be performed during the welding process. The analysis system also allows in situ study of the correlation between the occurrence ofweld defects and changes in the chemical composition in theweld pool or in the two-phase regionwhere solid and liquid phase coexist. First experiments showed that both the shielding Ar gas and the welding arc plasma have a significant effect on the selected Cr II, Ni II and MnII characteristicemissions, namely an artificial increase of intensity values via unspecific emission in the spectra.
In situ investigations showed that this artificial intensity increase reached a maximum in presence of weld plume. Moreover, an explicit decay has been observedwith the termination of thewelding plumedue to infrared radiation during sample cooling. Furthermore, LIBS can be used after welding to map element distribution. For austenitic stainless steels,Mnaccumulations on both sides of theweld could be detected between the heat affected zone (HAZ) and the base material.
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.
Time- and space-resolved in situ LIBS measurements of chemical compositions during TIG-welding
(2017)
An in situ monitoring of chemical compositions in the weld pool and the heat affected zone (HAZ) can enable the control of the welding process through the regulation of the welding parameters, and thus can prevent possible weld defects.
The most critical parameter for hot cracking -from a metallurgical point of view- is the chemical composition of the weld pool.
Chemical composition can be measured and quantified during the welding process with the LIBS technique having the appropriate calibration measurements.
A laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) system was combined with the Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG) Welding process for the in situ monitoring of chemical compositions in austenitic stainless steels during welding. The purpose of this project is to develop a prototype of an online chemical composition control system for welding applications. One of the use cases of this new LIBS-based measurement system can be the controlling of potentially dangerous emissions during the welding process in order to improve the working safety conditions.
