A Weld Defects Detection System Based on a Spectrometer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Improved product quality and production methods, and decreased production costs are important objectives of industries. Welding processes are part of this goal. There are many studies about monitoring and controlling welding process. This work presents a non-intrusive on-line monitoriment system and some algorithms capable of detecting GTAW weld defects. Some experiments were made to simulate weld defects by disturbing the electric arc. The data comes from a spectrometer which captures perturbations on the electric arc by the radiation emission of chosen lines. Algorithms based on change detection methods are used to indicate the presence and localization of those defects.

Automatic classification of weld defects using simulated data and an MLP neural network
The radiography technique (RT) used in non-destructive testing (NDT) of welds has evolved rapidly in recent decades and has become an established technology in the field of weld assessment. RT is widely used as an inspection tool for detecting flaws inside welded structures, pressure vessels, structural members and pipelines(1). Most radiographic exposures and film interpretations in RT are sti...

Received Sep 9, 2017 Revised Dec 20, 2017 Accepted Jan 7, 2018 Welding is a fabrication of joining materials into one component. Defects are unavoidable during the welding process, and hence the inspection of welds is a most important task in many industries. In this work, a Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system is designed to detect weld defects based on image processing techniques. It is a no...
متن کاملUncertainty modelling using Dempster-Shafer theory for improving detection of weld defects
This paper presents an approach that is based on the combined use of Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory and fuzzy sets for improving automatic detection of weld defects. It consists in modelling detection uncertainty in feature space through using the mass function weighted by membership degrees, and fusing the features of objects using DS combination rule. The method is demonstrated on the typical in...
