Hybrid laser-TIG welding involves laser welding with the traditional TIG welding, resulting
in high productivity, efficiency and welding quality. Comparing hybrid laser-TIG welding
with TIG welding, the interference factors are much more complex in hybrid welding. So, in
this paper, the infrared thermography system was applied to measure the obverse temperature
distribution of the weld surface during hybrid laser-TIG welding process of AZ31 magnesium
alloy, a new method was introduced to decrease the radiant interference from arc light,
ceramic nozzle, electrode and laser nozzle, and the data of welding temperature field captured
by IR termography system was calibrated. In traditional experiment, IR image was captured
paralleling to the direction of welding seam, and IR temperature measurement of welding
temperature field was interfered badly by interferences mentioned above. In this paper, the IR
thermography system was placed perpendicularly to welding seam, so the interferences that
caused by specular reflection were transferred out of welding seam, Considering the
interference caused by diffuse reflection is little the IR temperature distribution data are
believable while IR thermography system is placed perpendicularly to welding seam. For
each sensing point in the IR image caught by IR thermography system, its temperature ti
altered when its emissivity εi altered. Through data analysis based on ti and εi, the relational
expression was validated as follows: 4√εi(ti + 273.15) ≈ C where C is a constant. It indicates
that, for each IR sensor, its output is able to comply with the Stefan–Boltzmann law of grey-
body radiation accurately.
