SAW (Submerged Arc Welding) is often used for ship construction or welding pressure vessels and involves spraying a flux in a powder form to a welding site to a certain thickness and continuously supplying electrode wires therein. This welding method enables high current welding up to 1,500 to 3,000 A. Arc efficiency is higher than 95% and the technique allows clean work as it creates less welding fume, which is composed of fine metal oxide particles, and the arc beam is not exposed. In this study, SM490C-TMC thick plates were heterogeneously welded by SAW. Mechanical properties of welds were measured, and welds were assessed macroscopically and for adhering magnetic particles. The following conclusions were drawn. Bending tests showed no spots exploded on sample surfaces or any other defect, and plastic deformation testing confirmed sufficient weld toughness. These results showed the 1F welding method has no shortcomings in terms of bending performance.

The newly developed super ductile duplex stainless steel (SDSS) has good strength and ductility, and it can be used to reduce weight and improve the fabrication efficiency of a carbody of a rolling stock. In this study, spot weldability tests were conducted to take advantage of SDDSS in a carbody for an intermodal tram. Specimens of various thickness (0.4 to 5.0 mm) were prepared to find the proper welding conditions, and tensile load tests were conducted to evaluate the tensile-shear strength of spot welded joints. Then, nugget diameters were measured to verify the quality. The tensile-shear strength was found to be proportional to the heat parameter. It was verified that the tensile-shear strengths and nugget sizes of the joints satisfy the standard requirements. The overall weldability tests confirmed that SDDSS can be used effectively for the carbody of an intermodal tram.

Reinforcing bar splices are inevitable in reinforced concrete structure. In these days, there are three main types of splices used in reinforced concrete construction site - lapped splice, mechanical splice and welded splice. Low cost, practicality in construction site, less time consuming and high performance make gas pressure welding become a favorable splice method. However, reinforcing bar splice experiences thermal loading history during the welding procedure. This may lead to the presence of residual stress in the vicinity of the splice which affects the fatigue life of the reinforcing bar. Therefore, residual stress analysis and tensile test of the gas pressure welded splice are carried out in order to verify the load bearing capacity of the gas pressure welded splice. The reinforcing bar used in this work is SD400, which is manufactured in accordance with KS D 3504. The results show that the residual stresses in welded splice is relatively small, thus not affecting the performance of the reinforcing bar. Moreover, the strength of the gas pressure welded splice is high enough for the development of yielding in the bar. As such, the reinforcing bar with gas pressure welded splice has enough capacity to behave as continuous bar.

The maximum butt-joint gap size in $CO_2$ laser beam welding of SAPH steel plates with different thicknesses and its bending formability were studied. In the range of the gap size$\geq$0.1mm, the optimal butt welding speed was faster than that of no gap (air gap) condition. This behaviour was independent on the difference of thickness at any combination. Also, the allowable gap size in steel plates with different thicknesses was larger than with same thicknesses. In the range of $T/T_0$(bead shape) $\geq$ 0.8, good bending formability was obtained at any combination of thickness. The formability was improved by reducing the hardness in weld bead using pre-heating process. Finally, FEM result of the laser beam welded underframe with different thicknesses was compared to that of the conventional spot welded underframe.

Friction welding has emerged as a reliable process for high-production commercial applications with significant economic and technical advantages. But nondestructive test in friction weld was not clearly developed. Therefore the experimental verification is necessary in order to understand the characteristcs of the pulse echo effects according to various change in welding conditions. This paper presents an attempt to determine the relationship between the varios welding conditions and the coefficients of reflection using the ultrasonic pulse echo method in dissibilar metals friction weld. The new approach of calculating the coefficients of reflection based on measured amplitudes of the echoes is applied in this paper. These coefficients provides a single quantitative measurement which involves both acoustic energy reflected at the welded interface as well as transmitted across the interface. As a result, it was known that the quantitave relationship between welding conditions and the coefficients of reflection using the ultrasonic pulse echo exists in dissimilar metals friction weld.

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.

This paper was to study the effect to Yongrak phenomenon of I groove submerged arc welding depending on the plasma cutting surface characteristics, and how to reduce the causes and characteristics Yongrak phenomenon. Shipbuilding and marine structures is designed to use the thick plates and welded by high current to obtain deep penetration. Yongrak phenomenon has been occurred frequently depending on the quality of cutting surface and it makes degrade of the welding quality and modification of the welding. As a result, it was confirmed that I Groove plasma cutting characteristics get bevel form of 2 to 4 degrees to one side direction from the vertical position with Yongrak phenomenon. This is the main reason of Yongrak phenomenon in butt joint welding and 4 degree reverse bevel on the upper surface of base metal by submerged arc welding brought the effect of significant reduction of Yongrak phenomenon.

조선업을 포함한 다양한 산업 분야에서 후판 강재의 수요량 증가와 함께 사용 범위 또한 폭넓게 되고 있다. 특히, 선박의 수송효율의 극대화를 위하여 컨테이너선의 대형화가 급속하게 진행되고 있으며, 2009년 현재1,300TEU 이상의 초대형 컨테이너선이 건조되고 이다. 이처럼 용접구조물의 초대형화에 따른 사용강재 또한 고강도 극후물화 되고 있다. 현재 선박에 적용중인 고강도 강재는 EH47 강재로 YP 460MPa 급의 강재가 Hatch Coamming부에 적용중에 있으며, 강재의 두께 또한 70mm 이상이다. 이러한 고강도 극후물재의 강구조물에 적용에 따른 선급협회에서는 용접부에서의 취성균열 전파에 의한 취성파괴의 위험성이 있으므로 강재의 두께를 제한하고 더욱 엄격한 파괴인성값을 요구하고 있다. 일본선급협회(NK)를 중심으로 취성균열의 정지를 위한 모재의 요구 성능등에 관한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 이 연구의 대부분의 전제 조건은 선박의 블럭과 블럭의 조립시에 용접부가 직선형이 아닌 계단형(Butt shift)를 하는 것으로 하고 있으므로, 국내의 조선건조 공법의 현실과는 거리감이 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 조선사에서 수행중인 직선 이음부에 대한 시공 공법에서 취성균열이 발생하여 진전 되더라도 균열을 정지 시킬 수 있는 기술에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 균열의 진전은 대부부의 연속면에서는 정지를 시키지 못하고 직진 전파 하여서 파괴에 도달하게 된다. 따라서 뭔가의 불연속적인 면을 임의로 생성하여야 균열을 정지 시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 균열의 정지 방법으로 형상적인 측면과 재료적인 측면에서 검토를 수행하였다. 형상적인 측면에서는 균열을 정지 시키고자 하는 위치에 불연속적인 면을 만들기 위하여 일정 크기의 hole을 만들어서 균열을 정지시켰으며, 재료적인 측면에서는 고인성의 용접재료를 사용하여서 취성균열이 진행하는 경로에 인성을 높은 재료를 적용하여 불연속적인 면의 생성과 함께 인성을 높여서 균열을 정지 시키는 기술을 개발하였다. 이러한 기술의 개발을 통하여 취성균열의 전파에 의한 파괴를 방지 할 수 있으며, 용접구조물의 안전성 확보를 가능하게 하였다.
