Abstract

The present invention provides a welding method and apparatus for carrying out the method, which employs inspection of a weld formed by the welding method. The inspection of the weld is performed by an inspection apparatus at an inspection location on one or more welded substrates, the inspection location being at an elevated temperature above ambient temperature, for example, the elevated temperature being at least 180° C. above ambient temperature, or at least 350° C. above ambient temperature. In this manner, the inspection may be performed without the need to cool the substrates, achieving faster inspection and faster weld repair times.
