Abstract: Welding apparatus, for example for a workpiece, comprises resistance welding electrode wheels which form a weld seam between components of the workpiece. The formed weld is monitored by an ultrasonic probe which is situated behind the rollers with reference to the weld direction. The ultrasonic probe comprises a linear phased array of piezoelectric elements. The probe enables real-time monitoring of the welding process, with the facility to adjust the process to correct deviations.
