Abstract

This study was conducted to develop a quantitative evaluation system for arc characteristics such as arc stability and welding spatter generation related to shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) without human sensory evaluation. Factors that correspond to sensory evaluations by welders were investigated based on image processing. For the quantitative evaluation of arc stability, results show that the root mean square and the standard deviation of the arc center fluctuation, respectively, correspond to welders’ sensory evaluation at AC and DC discharges. For welding spatter generation, a method of counting white pixels in a binarized image evaluates the number and size of welding spatters which closely coincide with welders’ sensory evaluations.
