Abstract

The use of Al alloys instead of fiber-reinforced plastic(FRP) in ship construction has increased because of the advantages of Al-alloy ships, including high speed, increased load capacity, and ease of recycling. This paper describes the effects of probe diameter on the optimum friction stir welding conditions of 5456-H116 alloy for leisure ship, measured by a tensile test. In friction stir welding using a probe diameter of 5 mm under various travel and rotation speed conditions, the best performance was achieved with a travel speed of 61 mm/min. Using a probe diameter of 6 mm, rotation speeds of 170-210 rpm, and a travel speed of 15 mm/min produced a rough surface and voids because of insufficient heat input produced by the low rotation speed. At 500-800 rpm, chips were observed, although there were no voids, and the weld surface was excellent. However, at 1100-2500 rpm, many chips were produced due to excessive heat input. Heat effects were very evident on the bottom. For a travel speed of 15 mm/min, heat input caused by friction increased as the rotation speed increased. The mechanical characteristics were degraded by accelerated softening due to increasing heat input.

선박 구조재료 FRP 재료의 대체 재료로 빠른 선속과 선적량 증가는 물론 재활용이 용이한 Al 선박으로 전환되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 인장실험을 통해 레저선박에 사용되는 5456-H116 합금에 대한 최적의 마찰교반용접 조건에서 프루브 직경의 효과를 기술하였다. 마찰교반용접에서 이송속도, 회전속도를 변수로 5 mm의 프루브 직경을 사용하여, 이송속도가 61 mm/min의 조건에서 가장 우수한 결과를 나타냈다. 프루브 직경 6 mm, 회전속도 170-210 rpm, 이송속도 15 mm/min 에서는 낮은 회전속도로 인하여 불충분한 용접열이 발생하여 거친 표면과 기공이 형성 되었다. 회전속도 500-800 rpm인 경우, 용접부에 칩이 관찰되었으며, 기공은 생기지 않았고, 용접표면은 우수하였으나 1100-2500 rpm에서는 지나친 용접열의 발생으로 많은 칩이 발생하였다. 열에 의한 영향은 용접 배면에서 관찰되었다. 이송속도가 15 mm/min에서 회전속도의 증가하게 되면 마찰이 증가함에 따라 용접열이 발생한다. 기계적 특성은 용접 입열량이 증가할수록 재질의 연화가 가속화되어 저하하였다.
