Nondestructive testing of resistance spot welds using eddy current thermography

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The paper presents the use of eddy current thermography for detecting cracks in resistance spot welds. The sample is a three-sheet stack-up joined together by welding spots. Inductive Helmholtz coil is used for heating up the sample, and the thermal response of each spot is monitored using a cooled indium antimonide camera. The sequence of images captured is processed using the pulsed-phase thermography technique. The phase image is completed with a supplementary filtering operation to allow outlining defects. The result was confirmed with confocal microscopy inspection.
