In this study, the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of an internal defect introduced in the welded region of an aluminum plate has been demonstrated by photoacoustic microscopy (PAM). The internal defect is a blowhole and an incomplete fusion, which were formed in the weld metal during welding. Experiments were carried out at different modulation frequencies. Furthermore, a stereoscopic image of the fractured specimen was obtained by destructive inspection using scanning laser microscopy (SLM) and compared with a photoacoustic (PA) amplitude image. The size of the internal weld defect measured by both methods was approximately the same.
