The applying of the short — term cross correlation in optical diagnostics of melt convection in laser metal deposition

Abstract

The time dependences of the surface temperature and the surface area of the melt bath during the formation of the single track in the laser metal deposition technology were obtained using a multi-wave optical diagnostics complex. The short - term cross-correlation method was used to analyse the measured parameters of the bath surface, and relationship of the measured parameters with the processes of thermocapillary convection in the melt was shown.
