XIRIS Blog How to Get Better GTAW Welds Through Melt Pool Thermal Analysis

If you’re wondering how to analyze a GTAW or TIG weld pool during welding, you’re not alone. Nearly every welder at some point has wanted to do some sort of analysis by measuring the size, shape and location of the melt pool as a way of determining how well the GTAW process is performing. Often this is done by eye through a weld helmet, but recent technology has enabled the generation of such data from the output of a thermal weld camera that acquires thermal images of the welding process.
