The use of heat exchangers in various applications such as chemical, air conditioning systems, fuel processing, and power industries is increasing. In order to improve the performance of the heat exchanger, the problem of bonding quality of the copper tube, which is a major member, is emerging. However, since the copper tube is in the form of a pipe, it is difficult to identify internal defects with external factors. In this study, a thermal imaging camera was used to develop and verify an algorithm for detecting defects in the brazing part, and in the process, the brazing performance characteristics were analyzed according to the electrode position, and finally, a learning model was developed and performance evaluation was performed. It was confirmed that the method of supplying heat to the base material and melting the filler metal through the heat transfer effect is more effective than supplying heat input to the filler metal in the bonding process of copper tubes through high-frequency induction heating brazing. Thermal image data was used to develop a defect discrimination model, and 80% of training data and 20% of test data were selected, and a neural network-based single-layer copper tube brazing defect discrimination model was developed through k-Flod cross-validation., the prediction accuracy of 95.2% was confirmed as a result of the error matrix analysis.
