Abstract

A method for detecting a surface welding quality of friction stir welding includes: acquiring a continuous surface depth image of a welding seam; intercepting a surface depth image segment of the welding seam with a proper step size, and dividing the intercepted surface depth image segments of the welding seam into a front reference region, a thinned region and a rear reference region; judging whether flatness of the front reference region is less than a threshold, and if yes, taking a height of the front reference region at this point as a latest reference height; if no, judging whether the flatness of the rear reference region is less than the threshold, and if yes, taking a height of the rear reference region at this point as the latest reference height; if no, taking the reference height of previous depth image segment as the latest reference height; and calculating a difference.
