증기발생기 전열관 보수를 위하여 sleeve pipe를 삽입하여 레이저 용접을 하는 과정에서 전열관과 sleeve pipe 의 간격을 최소한으로 줄여 용접 품질을 높이고, 균등하게 하기 위하여 sleeve pipe에 대하여 확관이 수행된다. 확관은 sleeve pipe의 상단부와 하단부에 각각 수행되는데 정확한 확관규격을 유지하기 위하여 컴퓨터로 확관압력의 미분치를 비교분석하여 압력펌프를 제어하였다. 압력신호의 변화가 크고 안정되지 못하여 전후신호와 비교분석하여 안정화시킨 후 미분치를 추출하여 제어함으로써 전열관의 확관이 0.02mm 이내가 되도록 하여 전열관의 과도한 확관을 방지하였다.

아크용접에 로보트가 적용되면서 그 적용대상 폭을 넓히기 위하여 여러 종류의 센서들이 개발되어 왔다. 그 중 로보트나 자동용접장치에 장착이 용이한 아크센서에 대하여 원리들과 응용한 예들을 소개하였다. 용접이음부의 최소두께 제한, 용접중 용융지의 처침(Distortion) 등에 따른 아크신호의 불안정이 문제로 남아 있으므로 아크센서의 신뢰도를 향상시키기 위해서는 각 용접공정의 보다 정확한 해석이 요구되며, 이들을 적용하기 위한 제어 알고리즘의 개선 또한 요구된다. 아크센서가 개선되어 신뢰도가 높아질수록 더욱 광범위하게 적용될 것이며, 아크용접작업의 생산성 향상에 크게 기여하게 될 것이다.

저항 스폿용접기에서 용접품질의 보증은 오래 계속 되어온 문제이었다. 본 논문에서는 용접품질과 전극분리와의 관계를 조사하였으며 전극분리가 하나의 제어변수로써 사용될 수 있음을 실험적으로 입증하였다. 피드백신호로서 전극분리를 이용한 퍼지제어에 기초를 둔 용접품질개선을 제시하였다. 저항 스폿용접기의 용접품질은 인장전단강도시험과 같은 파괴적인 검사에 의해 증명되었다. 시험결과는 퍼지 제어기를 이용한 전극분리 제어의 성능이 종래의 정전류 제어와 비교하여 훨씬 더 우수하였다.

Neural network-based signal classification systems are increasingly used in the analysis of large volumes of data obtained in NDE applications. Ultrasonic inspection methods on the other hand are commonly used in the nondestructive evaluation of welds to detect flaws. An important characteristic of ultrasonic inspection is the ability to identify the type of discontinuity that gives rise to a peculiar signal. Standard techniques rely on differences in individual A-scans to classify the signals. This paper proposes an ultrasonic signal classification technique based on the information tying in the neighboring signals. The approach is based on a 2-dimensional Fourier transform and the principal component analysis to generate a reduced dimensional feature vector for classification. Results of applying the technique to data obtained from the inspection of actual steel welds are presented.

Weld root gap is a important fact of a falling-off weld quality in various kind of weld defect. The welding quality can be controlled by monitoring important parameters, such as, the Arc voltage, welding current and welding speed during the welding process. Welding systems use either a vision sensor or an Arc sensor, both of which are unable to control these parameters directly. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain necessary bead geometry without automatically controlling the welding parameters through the sensors. In this paper we propose a novel approach using neural networks for detecting and monitoring of weld root gap and bead shape. Through experiments we demonstrate that the proposed system can be used for real welding processes. The results demonstrate that the system can efficiently estimate the weld bead shape and detect the welding defects.

An investigation has been made on the relationship between characteristics of Acoustic Emission (AE) signal in welding flaw and the stress corrosion defect in-service for the high pressure pipe steel. In order to tackle the problem of welding flaw in high pressure pipe, specimens were made by the aid of the application of both corrosion liquid usage and a quenching method after local heating. The amplitude of signal was $60{\sim}75\;dB$ in the territory which is suspected for defect, and the specimens which only have welding flaw showed gradients of 0.034, 0.034, 0.035. Moreover, there is a certain increase in gradient even though the differences are very slight. That is, corrosion specimens showed new gradients of 0.040, 0.039, 0.041 which put welding flaw and corrosion mechanism together. After pressurizing 3 minutes, AE signal has been detected from welding flaw easily in each part of the section. It is possible to predict the occurrence and also prevent the damage of stress corrosion crack which has characteristics of cleavage fracture.

Dissimilar metal welds in nuclear power plant are known as very susceptible to PWSCC flaws, and periodically inspected by the qualified inspector and qualified procedure during in-service inspection period. According to field survey data, the majority of their DMWs are located on tapered nozzle or adjacent to a tapered component. These types of configurations restrict examination access and also limit examination volume coverage. Additionally, circumferential scan for axially oriented flaw is very difficult to detect located on tapered surface because the transducer can't receive flaw response from reflector for miss-orientation. To overcome this miss-orientation, it is necessary adapt skewed ultrasonic transducer accomodate tapered surface. The skewed refracted longitudinal ultrasonic transducer designed by modeling and manufactured from the modelling result for axial flaw detection. Experimental results showed that the skewed refracted longitudinal ultrasonic transducer get higher flaw response than non-skewed refracted longitudinal ultrasonic transducer.
