Abstract

Welding preheating means that the surface of the base material to which the metal is welded before the main welding is heated to a constant temperature. It prevents the cracks of the adjacent influences such as reduction of material hardening degree by controlling the cooling rate, suppression of segregation of impurities, prevention of thermal deformation, and moisture removal. For this reason, it is a necessary operation for high quality welding. Induction heating is an efficient heating method that converts electric energy into heat energy by applying electromagnetic induction phenomenon. Compared with combustion heat generated by gas and liquid, it is clean, stable, and economical as well as rapid heating. It can be heated regardless of the shape, depth and material of the heating body by modifying the shape of the frequency and the coil with a simple structure. In this paper, we implemented a low frequency welding preheating system using induction heating technique and observed the temperature changes of coil resistance, inductance and automotive transmission parts according to the height of each transmission in winding coil for three kinds of automotive transmission parts. We confirmed that the change of current is a very important factor in the low frequency heating.

용접예열은 본 용접 전에 금속이 융착되는 모재면을 일정한 온도로 가열하는 것을 의미한다. 냉각속도 조절에 따른 재료 경화 정도 감소, 불순물 편석억제, 열적 변형방지, 그리고 수분제거 등 인접 영향부의 균열을 방지할 수 있다. 이러한 이유에서 고품질의 용접을 위하여 반드시 필요한 작업이다. 유도가열은 전자기유도 현상을 응용하여 전기에너지를 열에너지로 변환시키는 효율적인 가열방식이다. 기체 및 액체를 이용한 연소발열과 비교하여 신속한 가열뿐만 아니라 청결하고, 안정적이며, 경제적이다. 단순한 구조로 주파수와 코일의 형태를 변형하여 가열체의 형상, 깊이, 재질에 관계없이 가열할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 유도가열 기법을 이용하여 저주파 용접예열 시스템을 구현하였으며, 3종의 자동차 변속기 부품을 대상으로 권선코일 내에서 각 변속기 높이에 따라 권선코일 저항, 인덕턴스 및 자동차 변속기 부품의 온도변화를 관찰한 결과 전류의 변화는 저주파 가열에 있어 매우 중요한 요인으로 작용함을 확인하였다.
