Technical Field

Background
The light weight is an important trend in the design and manufacture of automobile parts, and on one hand, a new structure, such as a hollow pipe fitting, is used for replacing a solid rod; secondly, new materials, such as cast aluminum or cast steel, are used to replace the forged steel; in addition, new joining processes such as magnetic arc welding and friction welding are used instead of conventional arc welding. Compared with the traditional arc welding, the magnetic arc welding and the friction welding of the hollow tube can obviously improve the welding efficiency and the quality stability, in addition, welding wires are not needed to be added in the welding process, the welding automation degree is high, and the operation requirement on workers is lower, so the magnetic arc welding and the friction welding are widely applied to the field of automobile part manufacturing.
Although the welding quality stability of magnetic arc welding and friction welding is high, post-welding quality inspection is still required. The traditional method is to perform destructive testing according to batch sampling, has certain randomness and higher cost, and needs to destroy welding pieces.
In order to avoid destructive testing in the prior art, developers developed a reliable non-destructive testing method for detecting internal defects of welds, such as X-ray, ultrasonic flaw detection, and the like. However, the welding seam joint positions of magnetic arc welding and friction welding have obvious welding flashes, the flashes on the outer surface of the welding seam are required to be milled by using common ultrasonic testing, the manufacturing cost is increased, the detection process is extremely easy to be influenced by the flashes on the inner wall of the pipe, and the detection accuracy is reduced; in addition, although the defects inside the weld joint can be accurately detected by the X-ray, the defects at the flash position may interfere with the inspection and judgment of the quality inside the weld joint due to the fact that the defects cannot be directly detected on site due to the X-ray radiation, and great inconvenience is brought to the detection work of the weld joint.
