Abstract

A weld scallop is a small quadrant or half circle type hole installed in the weld line cross area for easy welding operation. Many types of T-bars with a scallop can be welded in a block assembly stage in shipbuilding. The difficulties arise from the fact that scallops are to be filled by build-up welding after welding of the cross line is complete. In this study, a non-scallop block joint welding method was developed using special type CBM (ceramic backing material). The wedge shaped CBM was devised to insert a CBM into just the V groove of weld line cross area without weld scallop. A saw-toothed shape was adopted for easy cutting of the unnecessary part in the CBM fitting process. The applicability of the developed method was verified through welding experiments based on the yard welding conditions.

용접 스캘럽은 작은 사분원 또는 반원 형상의 구멍으로서 용접의 작업성 향상을 위한 목적으로 용접선이 교차하는 위치에 시공된다. 선체 블록의 탑재 단계에서는 수많은 T-bar 조인트 용접이 수행되어야하며, 플랜지-웨브의 교차용접이 완료된 후에 육성용접을 통해 모든 스캘럽을 메공하는데 많은 생산시수가 소요된다. 본 연구에서는 특별한 타입의 CBM(ceramic backing material)을 고안하여 T-bar 조인트 용접 시 플랜지-웨브의 교차용접 지점에 시공되던 스캘럽을 삭제함으로써 논-스캘럽 블록 조인트 용접 공법을 개발하였다. 플랜지간 용접 시 플랜지 이면에 접촉한 웨브의 V 용접개선에 삽입이 용이하도록 CBM을 웨지 형상으로 제작하였고 웨브간 용접 개선의 루트갭에 맞추어 불필요한 부분의 절단이 용이하도록 예비 절단면들을 톱니 형상으로 배치하였다. 조선소의 실제 용접조건에 기초한 일련의 실험을 통하여 개발된 논-스캘럽 용접 공법의 유용성을 확인하였다.
