초록

Increase of combat capability through the lightweighting of vehicles has been internationally issued. One of the methods for lightening is applying high hardness armor(HHA) steel which is outstanding ballistic performance and protection performance compared to weight. Development of HHA steel is currently completed in America, United Kingdom, Australia and Germany. It is used for not only combat vehicle, but also various combat device. Korea is developing new material of HHA steel according to this trend. When such HHA steel is applied to structure, welding process is used for connection of the structure. Cracks from hydrogen embrittlement and cold cracking are easily generated in welds of HHA steel and it greatly affects the strength of all structure. Decrease of strength from welding defect is critical to combat capability. Therefore, welding process optimization is important for performing the role of structure. In this study, international welding technology is reviewed through scientific research paper and patent.
