Acoustic Emission Metrology for Real-Time TIG Welding Monitoring: Spectral Characterization and Interpretability via Explainable AI
Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding of AA5083 aluminum alloy is sensitive to heat input and shielding conditions, which can lead to defects such as porosity and burn-through that compromise weld quality. Conventional non-destructive testing methods are generally performed after welding and therefore provide limited capabi...
