There have been continuous efforts for automation of joint tracking system. This automation process is mainly used to do in root pass of gas metal arc welding in the field of heavy industry and shipbuilding etc. For automation, it is important using of vision sensor. Welding robot with vision sensor is used for weld seam tracking on welding fabrication. Recently, it is used to on post-weld inspection for weld quality evaluation. For real time seam tracking, it is very important role in vision process technique. Vision process is included in filtering and thinning, segmentation processing, feature extraction and recognition. In this paper, it has shown performance comparison results of seam tracking for real time root pass on gas metal arc welding. It can be concluded better segment splitting method than iterative averaging technique in the performance results of seam tracking.

Plasma arc welding(PAW) technology is a proven process that has already been adopted by other industrial fields and recently has been considered to join the tank structure of LNG carrier. The purpose of this study is to introduce PAW process for the root welding of stainless steel pipes instead of TIG welding. There are distinctive features of the PAW compared to TIG welding; higher energy density that can increase welding speed by more than twofold, and longer arc length that can be controlled to trace seam line easily because of allowable gap between workpiece and torch. However, PAW process is also very sensitive to the root gap and misalignment due to the characteristics of long and narrow arc shape. So, we have done various experiments to establish the allowable fit-up condition by changing welding parameters including arc length, with or without filler metal, groove shape, and obtained satisfactory result.

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.

In GMA welding of sheet metal, the short circuit metal transfer mdoe is preferred because of its low heat input and capability of bridging the root gap. The molten electrode is transferred to the workpiece during repectitive short circuit in the model. The waveform of welding current or voltage and the frequency of short circuiting are affected by a number of factors including: magnitude of welding current and voltage, root gap, electrode extension, power supply characteristics, and so on. In this study experimental models were proposed, which are able to determine the relationship between the root gap and short circuit frequency and the relationship between the root gap and appropriate welding speed that produces the good quality of back bead without burn through. Using the experimental models, the root gap can be obtained from measuring the short circuit frequency, and then the appropriate weldig speed to the root gap can be determined. Thus a back bead control system was constructed by controlling the welding speed for maintaining the quality of back bead. The developed system has shown the successful capability of back bead control.

본 연구에서는 평면결함의 일종인 용입부족의 크기가 맞대기 용접부의 피로 특성에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 규명하였다. 정적실험 결과 비드를 삭제하지 않은 맞대기 용접부의 인장강도와 항복강도는 용입부족 크기에 관계없이 일정하였다. 또한 피로실험 결과 완전용입된 맞대기 용접부의 피로강도는 국내 외의 시방서에서 규정하고 있는 피로 등급을 모두 만족하며, 용입부족 크기에 따른 피로강도의 저하는 용입부족 크기가 증가함에 따라 피로강도가 급격하게 감소하였다. 파단형태에서 완전용입 시험체와 용입부족 시험체의 파단형태가 서로 다른 형식을 취하고 있음을 알 수 있었는데 이는 용접지단부와 용접루트부의 기하학적 형상에 따른 응력집중계수의 변화에 기인하는 것을 유한요소해석에서 확인하였다. 따라서 강구조물에 대한 용접제작시 발생할 수 있는 용접결함 중 평면결함의 일종인 용입부족은 반드시 피해야만 강구조물의 공용수명을 충분히 확보할 수 있을 것이다.

발전설비의 열교환기는 대형 헤더에 다수의 튜브가 용접된 구조로 협소한 튜브간격으로 인하여 안전성 확보와 수명진단을 위한 비파괴검사에 많은 제약을 받는다. 특히 일부의 헤더 용접부는 부분 용입형 용접구조로 이루어져 있어, 루트부에 용입부족 결함이 발생하기 쉽다. 이러한 용입부족 부분은 구조물의 형상과 결함을 구분하여 판정하기 어렵기 때문에 이를 검출할 수 있는 검사방법이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 헤더와 튜브로 이루어진 열교환기 부분 용입형 용접부에서 발생하는 용입부족 결함과, 용접비드 내의 결함을 검출 하고자 초음파검사 기법을 이용한 자동검사시스템을 개발하였고 이 시스템을 이용하여 용접부의 결함을 효과적으로 검출할 수 있었다.

Root gap out of standard by welding deformation is frequently produced at butt weld joints of steel bridge. For example although standard root gap is below 6mm at butt weld joints of plates under 15mm thickness. maximum 35mm root opening is produced at the weld field. At this case, the part out of standard is generally built up and the rest part is welded by WPS. Direct welding without built-up welding is preferred in weld field because built-up welding process bring about the cost-up at manufacturing. To apply this direct weld to root gap out of standard, the investigation about mechanical properties and fatigue at weldment is required. Inthisstudy, therefore the verification for direct weld without built up is performed at weldment as root gap. It includes tension, bending. hardness, impact and fatigue test for each welding specimen of 6mm, 25mm, 35mm root gap.

이 연구에서는 강교량 주부재의 연결에 주로 사용되는 횡방향 맞대기 용접부를 대상으로 입체결함의 일종인 블로우홀을 인위적으로 도입하고 블로우홀의 크기 및 형상에 따른 피로특성을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해서 일련의 실험을 실시하였다. 정적실험결과 블로우홀을 가진 횡방향 맞대기 용접부의 정적강도는 블로우홀의 크기 및 형상에 관계없이 일정한 경향을 나타내었다. 피로실험결과 블로우홀을 가진 횡방향 맞대기 용접부의 피로강도는 용접루트부 내부에 존재하는 블로우홀의 기하학적 형상이나 결함률에 크게 영향을 받으므로 이로부터 결함률과 피로강도 사이의 상관관계를 정량적으로 규명하였다. 또한 피로균열성장속도와 응력확대계수범위 사이의 관계로부터 블로우홀을 가진 횡방향 맞대기 용접부의 피로수명을 정확하게 산정할 수 있었다.

To implement full automation in pipe welding, it si most important to develop special sensors and their related systems which act like human operator when detecting irregular groove conditions. In this study, an automatic pipe Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) system was proposed to full control pipe welding procedure with intelligent sensor systems. A five-axes manipulator was proposed for welding torch to automatically access to exact welding position when pipe size and welding angle were given. Pool status and torch position were measured by using a weld-pool image monitoring and processing technique in root-pass welding for weld seam tracking and weld pool control. To overcome the intensive arc light, pool image was captured at the instance of short circuit of welding power loop. Captured image was processed to determine weld pool shape. For weld seam tracking, the relative distance of a torch position from the pool center was calculated in the extracted pool shape to move torch just onto the groove center. To control penetration of root pas, gap was calculated in the extracted pool image, and then weld conditions were controlled for obtaining appropriate penetration. welding speed was determined with a fuzzy logic, and welding current and voltage were determined from a data base to correspond to the gap. For automatic fill-pass welding, the function of human operator of real time weld seam control can be substituted by a sensor system. In this study, an arc sensor system was proposed based on a fuzzy control logic. Using the proposed automatic system, root-pass welding of pipe which had gap variation was assured to be appropriately controlled in welding conditions and in torch position by showing sound welding result and good seam tracking capability. Fill-pass welding by the proposed system also showed very successful result by tracking along the offset welding line without any control of human operator.
