Abstract: The relationship between the keyhole behavior and arc light emission flux is studied by spectroscopic method in plasma arc welding of stainless steel. It is found that there are salient changes similar to negative pulse in arc light radiant intensity signal with the characteristic changes of keyhole behaviour. Also the above signal which is of particular advantage for estimating the keyhole formation or closure can be improved by the means of detecting sensitive spectral line intensity.
