- Abstract
In the process of laser-based direct energy deposition (DED-LB), the quality of the deposited layer will be affected by the process parameters and the external environment, and there are problems such as poor stability and low accuracy. A molten pool monitoring method based on coaxial vision is proposed. Firstly, the molten pool image is captured by a coaxial CCD camera, and the geometric features of the molten pool are accurately extracted by image processing techniques such as grayscale, median filtering noise reduction, and K-means clustering combined with threshold segmentation. The molten pool width is accurately extracted by the Canny operator combined with the minimum boundary rectangle method, and it is used as the feedback of weld pool control. The influence of process parameters on the molten pool was further analyzed. The results show that with an increase in laser power, the width and area of the molten pool increase monotonously, but exceeding the material limit will cause distortion. Increasing the scanning speed will reduce the size of the molten pool. By comparing the molten pool under constant power mode and width control mode, it is found that in width control mode, the melt pool width fluctuates less, and the machining accuracy is improved, validating the effectiveness of the real-time control system.
