초록
In this study, the low temperature toughness was evaluated by using the instrumented Charpy impact testing procedures for A15083-O aluminum alloy used in the LNG carrying and storage tank. The specimens were GMA(Gas Metal Arc) welded with four different mixing shield gas ratios (Ar100%+He0%, Ar67%+He33%, Ar50%, and Ar33%+He67%), and tested at four different temperatures(+25, -30, -85, and $-196^{\circ}C$) in order to investigate the influence of the mixing shielding gas ratio and the low temperature. The specimens were divided into base metal, weld metal, fusion line, and HAZ specimen according to the notch position. From experiment the maximum load and displacement were shown the highest and He lowest at $-196^{\circ}C$ than the other test temperatures. The absorption energy of weld metal notched specimens was not nearly depends on test temperature and mixing shield gas ratio because the casting structure was formed in weld metal zone by melting welding wire. On the other hand, the others specimens was shown that the lower temperature, the higher absorption energy slightly up to $-85^{\circ}C$ but the energy was decreased so mush at $-196^{\circ}C$.
