HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.
When plasma optical spectroscopy is applied to on-line welding quality monitoring, the plasma electronic temperature is commonly selected as the spectroscopic parameter to determine. However, several processing stages have to be considered in this case, including plasma emission line identification, which is significantly costly in terms of computational performance. In this paper, the wavelength associated with the maximum intensity of the plasma background emission is proposed as the new monitoring signal, as it will be demonstrated that there is a clear correlation between this parameter and the welding quality. The resulting processing scheme is clearly simpler, and experimental and field tests will prove the feasibility of the proposed technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
