Abstract

Latest developments in heat flux thermography show that the reliable detection of all relevant welding defects has now – finally – become a reality. While testing previously required two-sided access, it is now also possible to carry out testing from only one side; the range of weld seam types that can be tested fully automated has been expanded to include complex weld seam geometries. The implementation of various levels of automation and flexible interfaces enables the integration into a wide range of manufacturing and testing environments.
