Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to material processing technology, and more specifically relates to a method and device for detecting properties of laser plasma during laser welding. Background technique [0002] Laser welding is an important welding method. During the laser welding process, photoinduced plasma, also known as laser plasma, will be generated, which has an important impact on the welding process. Metal evaporation will occur inside the laser plasma, and energy radiation, scattering and absorption will have a shielding effect on the laser and directly affect the welding process. The application purpose of the present invention is to detect the laser plasma, detect the temperature of the laser plasma in real time, and help implement the quality monitoring of the laser welding process. In the detection of plasma by means of electrical probes, the Langmuir probe is the most widely used, which is an active probe suitable for the detection of steady-st...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 2) The laser plasma cloud (laser plasma outside the molten pool) has certain volatility, and the rod-shaped probe has a small diameter and a limited detection range. The swaying fluctuation of the laser plasma cloud may make the probe detect at certain moments or conditions less than plasma

In order to make the detection more reliable, the probe should be as close as possible to the center of the plasma cloud (the passage of the laser beam), and to prevent it from being burned by the laser, its positioning and adjustment are very difficult
