A multi-task spatiotemporal deep neural network for predicting penetration depth and morphology in laser welding
This paper introduces an innovative multi-task deep learning model that accurately predicts penetration state, depth, and weld seam morphology in laser penetration welding. The model uses weld pool images from a CMOS camera and welding parameters, integrating spatiotemporal features via CNNs and state space models. Test results show 99.35% accuracy for penetration state, 1.79 mm error for depth, and 95.65% accuracy for weld cross-section reconstruction.

Abstract:In laser penetration welding, the assessment of penetration state and weld seam morphology plays a crucial role in determining the weld quality. This paper presents a comprehensive introduction of the innovative muti-task deep learning model that has the capability to predict penetration state, depth, and weld seam morphology with high accuracy. The monitoring platform relies on weld pool images captured during the laser welding process using a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor camera. The proposed model integrates spatiotemporal features extracted from top weld pool images along with welding parameters, establishing a deep learning framework based on convolutional neural networks and state space models for more efficient extraction and processing of spatial-temporal information. Furthermore, a reliable method for constructing the dataset is proposed to enhance both robustness and generalization capability of the developed model. Validation results on the test set demonstrate that prediction accuracy for penetration state can reach 99.35%, while prediction error for penetration depth is 1.79 millimeter, and accuracy of reconstructing the weld cross-section is 95.65%. This study provides new insights and methodologies for in-situ quality control strategies in laser penetration welding systems.
