The characteristics of the welding dynamic displacement field is high temperature, high strain velocity, thus ordinary methods such as resistance strain gauge or Moiré method can not be used for the measurement of the zone of high temperature. Speckle interference method has the merits of non-contact, resistance to the disturbance of impure lights, high accuracy of measurement (half of wavelength).The paper represents the measurement of dynamic displacement field of argon-arcspot welding, by which it shows that the method of speckle interference is feasible for the measurement of welding dynamic displacement.展开更多

Topside length Lt, maximum width Wt and half-length ratio Rh1 were selected to depict topside weld pool shape, and were measured on-line by vision sensing. A dynamic neural network model was constructed to predict the usually unmeasured backside width and topside height of the weld through topside shape parameters and welding parameters. The inputs of the model were the welding parameters （peak current, pulse duty ratio, welding speed, filler rate）, the joint gap, the topside pool shape parameters （Lt, Wt, and Rh1）, and their history values at two former pulse, a total of 24 numbers. The validating experiment results proved that the artificial neural network （ANN） model had high precision and could be used in process control. At last, with the developed dynamic model, steady and dynamic behavior was analyzed by simulation experiments, which discovered the variation rules of weld pool shape parameters under different welding parameters, and further knew well the characteristic of the welding process.展开更多

However, it is still not well understood by far due to the complex phenomena occurring in a wide temperature range. A transient 3D model including heat transfer, fluid flow and tracking of free surface is built in this study. The transport phenomena are investigated by calculating the temperature and velocity fields. The 3D dynamic keyhole evolution process is revealed through tracking free surface using volume-of-fluid method. The results show that the keyhole deepening speed decreases with laser welding process before the quasi-steady state is reached. The plasma can greatly affect the keyhole depth through absorbing a great amount of laser energy and thus lowering the recoil pressure. Moreover, the relationship between keyhole depth and weld penetration is also discussed. This paper can help to better understand the dynamics in molten pool and then improve laser welding process.展开更多
