Recently, as consumer's claim fur car safety is increased, quality inspection method fur welding zone is strengthened. Therefore, from the methods that depend on welding zone bead shape size of seat frame in macrography or passive examination, the quality control by whole recording inspection is required. In this study, the system that is measuring automatically if worker checks welding bead fur quality inspection of seat frame is developed using LabVIEW. If the quality standard for the bead width and length of welding zone is inputted, the system measures automatically whether welding zone is bead length or bead width. Measured data is preserved by points and quality recording of welding zone is stored. The car seat きme welding zone is applied and experimented. The results gave good influence o9 the quality control of work efficiency.

This paper reports on a study of the influence of welding variables on the weld shape of Al-7020 in pulse-GMA welding. Five variables, i.e., wire feed rate, peak pulse current, welding speed, welding votage, and pulse frequency were investigated for their effects on the weld shape. From the results of the 2$^{n-1}$ fractional factorial design, quantitative effects of each variable and the interaction of two variables were obtained, and consequently wire feed rate, welding voltage, and welding speed were determined as the main welding variables. Supplementary experiment was performed for ivestigating the detailed relationship between the main variables nd the seld shape. In this experiment, the penetation of the seldment increased when the wire feed rate was raised, nad the bead width increased when the welding voltage was raised or the welding speed was reduced.d.

The shape of excessive penetration mainly depends on welding conditions(welding current and welding voltage), and welding process(groove gap and welding speed). These conditions are the major affecting factors to width and height of back bead. In this paper, back-bead prediction and weldability estimation using artificial neural network were investigated. Results are as follows. 1) If groove gap, welding current, welding voltage and welding speed will be previously determined as a welding condition, width and height of back bead can be predicted by artificial neural network system without experimental measurement. 2) From the result applied to three weld quality levels(ISO 5817), both experimented measurement using vision sensor and predicted mean values by artificial neural network showed good agreement. 3) The width and height of back bead are proportional to groove gap, welding current and welding voltage, but welding speed. is not.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm of welding bead detection and evaluation using geodesic active contour algorithm and high pass filter with image processing technique. The algorithm uses histogram equalization and high pass filter as gaussian filter to improve contrast. The image processing techniques smoothens the welding beads reduce the noise on an image. Then, the algorithm detects the welding bead area by applying the geodesic active contour algorithm and morphological ooperation. It also applies the balloon force that either inflates in, or deflates out the evolving contour for a better segmentation. After that, we propose a method for determining the quality of welding bead using effective length and width of the detected bead. In the experiments, our algorithm achieved the highest recall, precision, F-measure and IOU as 0.9894, 0.9668, 0.9780, and 0.8957 respectively. We compared the proposed algorithm with the conventional algorithms to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm achieved better performance compared to the conventional ones with a maximum computational time of 0.6 seconds for segmenting and evaluating one welding bead.

고밀도 에너지를 열원으로 이용하는 고출력 레이저로는 CO$_{2}$레이저와 Nd;YAG 레이저가 있다. 레이저는 열가공임에도 불구하고 빔의 스폿경을 작게하여 높은 에너지 밀도($10^{6}$ W/cm$_{2}$ 이상)을 얻을 수 있으므로 열영향이 작고 작은 변형범위내에서 용접을 할 수 있고 입력 에너지의 제어성이 좋아서 미세한 용접이 가능하게 하고, 빔폭 대비 용입깊이가 커서 깊은 용접 비드가 형성되며, 자동화가 용이하다는 장점이 있다. 특히 Nd;YAG 레이저의 경우는 광 섬유를 이용하므로서 에너 지의 시간 분할 및 에너지 분할을 할 수 있는 등 분기 및 배치가 용이하며 펄스의 활 용을 극대화 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나, 결점으로도 맞대기 용접의 경우 갭의 여유가 판두께, 초점위치, 빔모드에 따라 변화하는데 이는 빔 스폿이 작음에 따른 장점이 단점으로 작용하는 경우이다. 레이저 용접부의 비드 폭이 좁기 때문에 인장 강도가 모재의 인장강도보다 밑도는 것도 겹쳐서 용접된 이음 부분의 인장강도에 있 어서 단점이 되고 있다.

In GMA welding processes, bead contour and penetration patterns are criterion to estimate weld quality. Bead geometry is commonly defined with width, height and depth. When weaving is taken into account, selection of welding conditions is known to be difficult. Thus, empirical or trial-and-error method are usually introduced. This study examined the correlation of welding process variables including weaving parameters with bead geometry using srtificial neural networks(ANN). The main task of the Ann estimator is to realize the mapping characteristics from the sampled welding process variables to the actual bead geometry through training. After the neural network model is constructed, welding process variables for desired bead geometry is selected by inverse model. Experimental varification of the inverse model is conducted through actual welding.

Laser welding is a high-density energy welding method. Hence, deep penetration and high welding speed can be realized with lower heat input as compared with conventional welding. The heat input of a CW laser welding is determined by laser power and welding speed. In this study, bead and lap welding of $0.5mm^t$ pure titanium was performed using a fiber laser. Its weldability with laser power and welding speed was evaluated. Penetration, bead width, joining length, and bead shape were investigated, and the mechanical properties were examined through tensile-shear strength tests. Welds with sound joining length were obtained when the laser power and welding speed were respectively 0.5 kW and 2.5 m/min, and 1.5 kW and 6 m/min, and the weld obtained at low output presented better ductility than that obtained at high output.

공초점 자가 간섭 현미경은 측정 광학계에 복굴절 물질을 사용하여 반사된 빛에 대해 간섭 현상을 일으키는 것을 특징으로 한다. 이 간섭을 자가 간섭이라고 부르는데, 이는 시편의 한 점에서 반사되어 나온 빛이 간섭을 일으키기 때문에 붙여진 이름이다. 공초점 자가 간섭 현미경의 점 확산 함수는 종래의 공초점 현미경의 점 확산 함수와 자가 간섭의 곱으로 나타나며, 자가 간섭의 주기가 종래의 공초점 현미경의 점 확산 함수의 중심폭보다 작은 경우 점 확산 함수의 중심폭이 작아져서 수평 방향으로의 분해능이 향상되게 된다. 이러한 분해능 향상 정도를 측정하기 위하여 지름이 100nm 인 금으로 된 비드를 사용하였다. 측정된 결과는 전산모사한 결과와 잘 일치하며 공초점 자가 간섭 현미경에서 2배의 분해능 향상을 보여준다.
