최근 레이저와 아크를 동시에 사용하여 용접 속도와 품질을 향상시킬 수 있는 하이브리드 용접 기술이 개발되어 활발히 연구가 진행되고 있다. 레이저와 아크를 동시에 사용하게 되면 각각의 열원이 서로 영향을 주어 새로운 용접 열원으로서 동작하게 되는데 특히 레이저에 의해서 발생하는 모재의 금속 증기는 아크 플라즈마의 안정화를 가져오는 것으로 알려져 있다. 또한 금속 증기 속의 이온과 전자가 아크 플라즈마의 음극점을 형성하는데 도움을 줌으로써 플라즈마의 국부적인 온도 상승을 가져오게 된다. 본 연구에서는 effective electrical potential 개념을 도입하여 이러한 현상을 해석하였고 용접 조건에 따른 플라즈마의 거동 변화를 시뮬레이션 하였다.

최근 레이저 가공에 대한 관심이나 인식이 높아지고 재료가공분야에서 급속한 기술혁 신이 추진되고 있다. 여러 종류의 재료 가공 분야중 용접분야의 기술발전은 용접을 할때 사용되는 열원의 발전에 크게 영향을 받아 왔다. 현재 공업적으로 용접에 이용되고 있는 가장 발전 된 열원으로는 레이저 빔과 전자 빔이 있으나, 전자 빔 용접은 작업 환경과 피용 접물의 조건에 제한이 있으므로 레이저 빔 용접에 비하여 불리하다. 레이저 용접은 1960 년대에 전자부품의 용접에 적용된 이후 기술적으로 상업적으로 미약하던 레이저 용접 응용 과 1971 년 Brown과 Banas에 의해 수kw급 $Co_2$ 레이저로 심층 침투 용접이 발표된 이후 크게 증가하였다. 레이저 빔의 특성을 이용하여 전자 빔만으로 할 수 있었던 특수 정밀용접 을 해야하는 용접하기 어려운 재료의 용접에 레이저 빔을 이용하는 많은 실험이 행해져 오고 있다. 여기서는 레이저 용접의 특징, 용접 품질에 영향을 미치는 각 변수들, 레이저 용접의 응용사례에 대하여 개설하고자 한다.

Laser-assisted machining (LAM) is one of the most effective methods for enhancing the machinability of difficult-to-cut materials, such as titanium alloys and various ceramics, and has been studied by many researchers. LAM is a method that facilitates machining by softening a workpiece using a laser heat source. The advantages of the LAM process are decreases in tool wear, cutting force, and surface roughness. However, when the material is over-heated, melting or burning can occur. This study analyzed the heat source distribution with regard to overlapping of preheating on the laser heating path with an acute angle, a right angle and obtuse angles. Then, a power reduction method was proposed to reduce the melting and burning of the workpiece.

Today the welding for LNG carrier is known to be possible using arc and plasma arc welding process. But because of the lower energy density, arc welding is inevitable to multi-pass welding for thick plate and has a limit of welding speed compared to laser which is high energy density heat source. When thick plate is welded, weld defect by multi-pass welding and heat-affected zone by high heat-input were formed. Therefore one-pass welding by key-hole has been considered to work out the problems. It is possible for Laser, electron beam, plasma process to do key-hole welding. Nowadays, plasma process has been used for welding membrane of cargo tank for LNG carrier instead of arc process. Recently, many studies have examined to apply laser process to welding of membrane. In this paper, weldability, microstructure and mechanical properties of stainless steel for LNG carrier welded by fiber laser were compared to those by plasma. As a result, although the laser welding has several times faster speed, similar properties and smaller weld and heat affected zone were obtained. Consequently, this study proves the superiority of fiber laser welding for LNG carrier.

In this paper, the structural-thermal-optical performance analysis of the mirror was performed by setting the laser heat source as the boundary condition of the thermal analysis. For the laser heat source model, the Beer-Lambert model considering semi-transparent optical material based on Gaussian beam was selected as the boundary condition, and the mechanical part was not considered, to analyze the performance of only the mirror. As a result of the thermal analysis, thermal stress and thermal deformation data due to temperature change on the surface of the mirror were obtained. The displacement data of the surface due to thermal deformation was fitted to a Zernike polynomial to calculate the optical performance, through which the performance of the mirror when a high-energy laser was incident on the mirror could be predicted.

Laser-assisted machining has shown its potential to significantly improve product quality and reduce manufacturing costs; additionally, laser-assisted turning (LAT) and laser-assisted milling (LAM) have been studied by numerous researchers. A research study on the determination of the distance between the laser heat source and the tool for laser-assisted machining, however, has not yet been attempted; we conducted such an analysis by using a finite-element method and heat-transfer equation. The results of this analysis can be used as a reference for the determination of the distance between the laser heat source and the tool for laser-assisted machining.

LAT(Laser Assisted Turning) is a method that applies a machining process after softening a workpiece in which a preheating process is locally applied to its machining section using laser heat source. LAT shows several advantages, such as high productivity, reduction of manufacturing cost, high quality. Analysis of temperature distribution after preheating for LAT is very difficult due to its very small heat input area and large energy and its movement. Also, the LAT for a square bar is more difficult because the shape of a laser heat source can be changed according to the rotation of the workpiece. In this study, thermal analysis for LAT of square bar was performed using laser heat source projection method. And, the analysis results were compared with the results of the prior study of numerical calculation method. It is thus shown that the proposed method is efficient for the thermal analysis of a shaped bar.

Laser is high density heat source, so it can make high speed welding with minimum heat input possible. Especially the high power fiber laser is recently commercialized and has high beam quality and the smallest system size compared with conventional laser due to it's unique oscillating mechanism. Because of these advantages it's thought that the most suitable heat source for LNG cargo tank welding precess which has to be conducted inside of ships. In this study fiber laser was used for welding of stainless steel for LNG carrier to applicate laser welding technique for shipbuilding industry. 1.2mmt STS304L of austenite stainless steel which apply to cargo tank was used for fiber laser welding. Butt and lap welding was conducted changing laser power, welding speed, then penetration characteristic was analyzed and optimal parameters for each materials. Consequently, we found that same or better mechanical properties were obtained in weld compared to base metal.
