Study of Dynamic Features of Surface Plasma in High-Power Disk Laser Welding

摘要

High-speed photography was used to obtain the dynamic changes in the surface plasma during a high-power disk laser welding process.A color space clustering algorithm to extract the edge information of the surface plasma region was developed in order to improve the accuracy of image processing.With a comparative analysis of the plasma features,i.e.,area and height,and the characteristics of the welded seam,the relationship between the surface plasma and the stability of the laser welding process was characterized,which provides a basic understanding for the real-time monitoring of laser welding.
