Abstract :
Welding processes are widely used in most industrial sectors, but the issue of on-line quality monitoring to detect or avoid the occurrence of defects is still a subject of intense research. In this paper and optical spectroscopic technique is presented. Optimizations and field trials in the automotive, aeronautical and nuclear sectors are reported.
