Abstract

In this study, fatigue tests were performed on longitudinal out-of-plane gusset fillet welded joints and transverse non-load-carrying cruciform rib fillet welded joints, and then applicability of hammer-peening treatment on improvement of fatigue life for fatigue damaged weld joints were investigated. Fatigue tests were carried out on three types of gusset and rib welded specimens: as-welded specimens, post-weld hammer peened specimens and hammer peened specimens at 50% of as-welded specimen's fatigue life. Before and after hammer peening treatment, the geometry of weld toes and surface stresses near weld toes were measured. As a result of hammer peening treatment, compressive residual stresses of 30-83MPa were introduced near weld toes of the gusset and rib welded joints, and 130% increase in fatigue life and fatigue limit of the welded joints could be realized by hammer peening treatment at 50% fatigue life of as-welded conditions.

본 연구에서는 피로 손상된 용접이음의 피로수명 향상을 위한 방법으로 햄머피닝 처리법의 적용성을 검토하기 위하여 면외거셋 필렛 용접이음과 하중비전달형 리브 필렛 용접이음의 피로실험을 실시하였다. 본 실험에서는 면외거셋과 리브를 필렛 용접한 후 햄머피닝 처리를 하지 않은 용접그대로의 시험편, 용접후 햄머피닝 처리한 시험편, 그리고 용접그대로 시험편의 피로수명의 50% 시점에 햄머피닝 처리를 한 시험편의 피로실험을 실시하였다. 그리고 햄머피닝 처리에 의한 면외거셋과 리브 용접토우부의 형상 및 표면응력의 변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 햄머피닝처리에 의해 30~83MPa의 압축잔류응력이 도입 되었으며, 이로 인하여 강구조물의 제작시 용접후에 햄머피닝 처리를 실시하면 피로수명을 크게 향상 시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 이를 공용기간이 예상 피로수명의 50% 이하인 강구조물의 용접이음에 적용하여도 최소 1.3배 이상의 피로수명과 피로한계 향상효과를 기대할 수 있음을 제시하였다.
