Abstract

A laser welding quality inspection method of a welded portion between a joining object and a joined object, when the joining object and the joined object are welded by being irradiated with a laser beam, the method includes: acquiring first data indicating a signal intensity of thermal radiation light radiated from the welded portion during the welding; acquiring second data indicating a signal intensity of plasma light radiated from the welded portion during the welding; and determining whether or not the welded portion includes an abnormality based on a comparison between the signal intensity of the thermal radiation light and the signal intensity of the plasma light which are acquired.
