Abstract :
In this paper, an automatic detection system to recognize welding defects based on Time of flight diffraction technique is described. The proposed classification consists in detecting the four types of austenitic stainless steel weld defects and non-defect type. The austenitic stainless steel welds with artificially created defects have been considered. A scan Signals are obtained by conducting TOFD experiment on these weld defects. To improve the efficiency of defect detection, a discrete wavelet transform based denoising was also adopted as a preprocessing technique. Time scale features have been extracted from the denoised TOFD signals and an artificial neural network for weld defect classification was developed. A multi layer feed forward network with BFGS quasi-Newton back propagation has been applied for classification of the signals. The effect of hidden layers on the network was analyzed. The optimum performance function for this network was also found.
