System and method for monitoring a weld operation

A system (10) for monitoring a weld operation is provided. The system includes an ultrasonic wave generator (28) adapted to deliver an ultrasonic wave to a target material (12) during the weld operation and an ultrasonic receiver (30) adapted to receive the ultrasonic wave propagated through the tar...

Zusammenfassung:	A system (10) for monitoring a weld operation is provided. The system includes an ultrasonic wave generator (28) adapted to deliver an ultrasonic wave to a target material (12) during the weld operation and an ultrasonic receiver (30) adapted to receive the ultrasonic wave propagated through the target material (12). The system (10) also includes a signal processor (36) adapted to determine a quality level of a weld created during the weld operation by extracting data corresponding to a torsional mode from the ultrasonic wave and comparing the data to a profile that corresponds to an acceptable quality level.
