This work is dedicated to the evaluation of the welding process in terms of assessing the impact of weldability based on the recording of the non-destructive testing of the acoustic emission (AE). Measurements are performed utilising both materials with guaranteed weldability and materials with reduced weldability. In addition to welding, the thesis also discusses the material (metallographic and fractographic) and mechanical verification of joint formation and the variations in behaviour of metals of differing chemical composition. It also includes an analysis of AE records in relation to the condition of the material during the developing of fusion and resistance joints.

Acoustic emission (AE) was originally developed for non-destructive testing of static structures, but over the years its application has been extended to health monitoring of rotating machines and bearings. It offers the advantage of earlier defect detection in comparison with vibration analysis. However, limitations in the successful application of the AE technique for monitoring bearings have been partly due to the difficulty in processing, interpreting and classifying the acquired data. The investigation reported in this paper was centred on the application of standard AE characteristic parameters on a radially loaded bearing. An experimental test rig was modified such that defects could be seeded onto the inner and outer races of a test bearing. As the test rig was adapted for this purpose, it offered high background acoustic emission noise providing a realistic test for fault diagnosis. In addition to a review of current diagnostic methods for applying AE to bearing diagnosis, the results of this investigation validated the use of r. m. s., amplitude, energy and AE counts for diagnosis. Furthermore, this study determined the most appropriate threshold level for AE count diagnosis, the first known attempt.
