Fatigue tests were carried out for butt welded joints with SM520-TMC steel plate with thickness between 20mm and 80mm. The test results were analysed statistically and the effect of plate thickness on the fatigue strength investigated. The fatigue strengths based on nominal stress range satisfy the requirement of the standards. Due to misalignment of the specimens, the measured stresses are higher than the nominal stresses especially for 20mm thick plates. If fatigue strengths are evaluated based on the measured stresses, then the fatigue strengths are greater than those based on nominal stresses. The results show that the thickness effect is similar to the formula proposed by Gurney.

Laser beam welding is increasingly being used in welding of structural steels. The laser welding process is one of the most advanced manufacturing technologies owing to its high speed and deep penetration. The thermal cycles associated with laser welding are generally much faster than those involved in conventional arc welding processes, leading to a rather small weld zone. Experiments are performed for 304 stainless steel plates changing several process parameters such as laser power, welding speed, shielding gas flow rate, presence of surface pollution, with fixed or variable gap and misalignment between the similar and dissimilar plates, etc. The following conclusions can be drawn that laser power and welding speed have a pronounced effect on size and shape of the fusion zone. Increase in welding speed resulted in an increase in weld depth/ aspect ratio and hence a decrease in the fusion zone size. The penetration depth increased with the increase in laser power.

These days, world wide interest about global warming and environmental pollution and exhausting fossil fuel which have been main energy source in all around the world. So many country have tried to find out the solution by investing new & renewable and clean energy. Therefore LNG have been widely used as a substitution of fossil fuel and clean energy that emits less pollutant like SOx, NOx. Therefore LNG consumption has been quickly raised and LNG carriers have been getting larger for decades. In this study, high power fiber laser was used for welding of stainless steel for LNG carrier to increase its productivity. Used material was STS316L which has low carbon less than 0.03% and its thickness was 8 mm. We carried out bead, lap and butt welding by using the fiber laser which has maximum power up to 5kW. As a result, we could find out that lap and butt joint was possible at welding speed of 2.0m/min and 3.0m/min respectively.

In this paper weld distortion both in butt and fillet welds by flux cored arc welding has been investigated by changing welding parameters such as heat input and plate thickness, and the weld distortion was expressed as a function of welding parameters adopting the inherent strain theory as proposed by Watanabe and Satoh in 1961. As results of the research it is proposed that transverse shrinkage in root pass butt welds in proportional to ln[(Q/t_-tan.theta.] where Q is heat input(cal/mm), t is plate thickness(mm), and 2.theta. is groove angle(degree), and angular distortion .phi.(radian) in one pass of fillet welds has the following relationship: .phi..var.(Q/ $t^{1.5}$)$^{3}$exp[-(Q/ $t^{1.5}$ )$^{2}$3/] These equations provide us with basic tools to predict the amount of weld distortion in welded structures.

최근 컨테이너선은 점차 대형화되고 있으며, 이에 따라 선체의 외판 상부의 철판 두께도 최대 80mm 까지 설계되고 있다. 블록 외판의 수직 맞대기 용접의 경우 고능률 용접기법인 Electro Gas Weldig(이하 EGW)이 적용되고 있으나, 극 후판의 경우, 기존의 한 개의 전극만으로는 적용 가능한 두께 범위의 한계가 있어 수직 맞대기 용접의 용접생산을 향상시키기 위해 2개의 전극을 사용하는 탄뎀 EGW 기법에 의한 시공법이 고려되었다. 탄뎀 EGW 기법의 시공법에 관한 보고서는 국내외에서 많이 발표되어져 왔다. 하지만 실선 적용에 있어 두께 80mm, 길이 2M 이상의 철판을 안정적으로 용접하기 위한 장애요소는 용접 중 적절한 슬래그의 배출 조절이다. 두개의 용접 와이어를 동시에 공급할 때 발생하는 슬래그를 균형있게 배출하지 못하는 경우 용융, 금속 상부에 적층되는 슬래그의 양이 증가하게 되고, 아크는 불안해져서 전극팁에의 슬래그 부착, 전극 팁의 발열 등에 의한 요인들이 송급을 불안하게 하여 연속 용접이 어려워진다. 본 연구에서는 탄뎀 EGW 기법을 실제로 현업에 적용하기 위해서는 안정적인 슬래그 배출에 착안하여 동당금의 형상에 따라 슬래그의 배출 성능을 확인하고 형상별 전류, 전압 파형을 측정하고, 파형 결과에 따라 아크 안정성을 평가함으로서 탄뎀 EGW 용접기법에 적정한 동당금을 설계한 결과를 소개하고자 하였다.

In the fabrication of steel bridges, blast cleaning prior to painting is carried out on the steel members to clean the forged surface and to increase the adhesive property of the applied painting systems. The effect of blast cleaning on the fatigue strength improvement of the weld joints, however, is not clear. In this study, Almen strips and steel specimens were blast-treated, conforming to ten types of blast-cleaning conditions deducted from the blast-cleaning conditions of seven steel structure fabrication companies. The arc height, roughness, hardness, and compressive residual stress were measured before and after the implementation of the ten blast-cleaning methods, and the relationship between the blast conditions and the measured values was studied. The geometry of the weld toe and the compressive residual stress near the weld toe were also measured before and after the blast cleaning of the butt-welded joints, and fatigue tests were carried out on the butt weld joints. The test results showed that blast cleaning significantly increases the fatigue strength and limit.

용접에 의해 발생하는 용접잔류응력은 강구조물의 피로성능, 파괴양상 등에 영향을 주고 있으나 이러한 용접잔류응력을 예측하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 이러한 용접잔류응력을 예측하는 방법으로는 열탄소성해석과 같은 수치적 방법과 실험적 방법이 있다. 열탄소성해석의 경우 실제문제를 이상화하는 과정에서 매우 복잡한 모델링 기술이 필요하다. 또한, 측정방법에서는 표면의 잔류응력을 측정할 수 있는 홀드링법과 X-선법 등이 있고, 내부 잔류응력의 측정방법으로는 중성자회절법이 있다. 그러나 홀드링법의 경우, 사용범위의 한계와, 중성자회절법에서의 내부 잔류응력을 측정할 수 있는 두께의 제약이 있어 후판의 잔류응력을 측정하는 것은 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 용접잔류응력의 생성근원인 고유변형도를 측정하고 이것으로부터 맞대기용접에서 발생하는 두께방향의 용접잔류응력을 계측하였다.

It is important to investigate the relationship between weld process parameters and weld bead geometry for adaptive arc robot welding. Howeve, it is difficult to predict an exact back-bead owing to gap in process of butt welding. In this paper, the quantitative prediction system to specify the relationship external weld conditions and weld bead geometry was developed to get suitable back-bead in butt welding which is widely applied on industrial field. Multiple regression analysis for the prediction of process parameters was used as the research method. And, the results of the prediction method were compared and analyzed.
