In-Process Quality Monitoring in Welding
Continuous monitoring and control of welding parameters to ensure component quality.
Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action
During welding, various process parameters like temperature, voltage, and gas flow are continuously monitored. This data helps analyze the development of the microstructure and the behavior of the metal during welding.
Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks
Inaccurate monitoring can lead to deviations in process parameters, which in turn results in parts with undesirable properties like porosity, cracks, or insufficient strength. This increases the risk of defects and can shorten the service life of the parts.
Workshop Practice & Action Instructions
Use high-quality sensors for continuous recording of temperature, voltage, and gas flow. Set defined thresholds for these parameters to get automatic alarms when values fall outside the acceptable range. Document all measurements and inspections thoroughly to build a traceable process chain.
