Abstract:
Online monitoring and diagnosis of welding quality is essential for intelligent welding manufacturing. The recognition performance of penetration for aluminum alloy in gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) still needs to be improved to meet the strict industry demands. This paper proposed a novel recognition method, time-frequency image based convolution neural network (TF-CNN), for GTAW penetration recognition. Time-frequency images were calculated from arc sound signals using short time Fourier transform and applied to analyze the non-stationarity of arc sound. The logarithm of time-frequency image was taken to construct the appropriate input matrix of CNN, which was optimized to improve its recognition performance, including the activation function, learning rate and architecture of network. The experimental results show that the proposed TF-CNN achieved an excellent recognition performance with 98.2% recognition accuracy and 0.21 accuracy variance for GTAW seam penetration recognition and outperformed the traditional methods. This paper provides some guidance for the application of CNN to other monitoring signals of intelligent manufacturing.
