We compared the fatigue characteristics of weld metal with those of base metal, and not heat-treated with heat-treated. Also, we examined the influence of bead in a viewpoint of fatigue life. From the experimental results, it has been seen that the fatigue characteristics of welded specimens grinded the toe of bead are slightly better than not grinded. We have seen that the fatigue life is affected more by the stress concentration on the profile change in the weld toe rather than by residual stress influence, because heat-treated or not had almost no influence on the fatigue characteristics.

In case of hardfaced wrapping roll, beadmark shape appear at wrapping roll surface due to irregular wear between weld bead. Irregular wear of this is caused by difference of hardness between weld bead. This study aims at investigating which matrix is good for removing of beadmark at wrapping roll surface. So, we make specimen with martensitic matrix and austenitic matrix. The hardfacing alloys were deposited 4 times on a SS41 steel plate using self-shielding flux cored arc welding method. Difference of hardness between weld bead of specimen with matrix of martensite was higher than specimen with matrix of austenite both as-welded and after heat treatment. Therefore, austenitic matrix is better than martensitic matrix for removing of beadmark of wrapping roll surface.

The use of hull structural steel with heavy thickness has been enlarging due to the increase of ship volume. High heat input welding methods like EGW, FGB and SAW tandem are applied in field of ship-building. However the application of high heat input methods is clearly limited because welding method to be most widely used is semi-automatic FCAW but heat input for FCAW is limited in order to obtain impact property at low temperature. This paper will introduce the application of 30mm bead width of FCW with Ni free & low Ni content.

One of the major important tasks in the robotic $CO_2$ arc welding process is to understand how process variables affected bead geometry and to subsequently develop the mathematical models to predict the desired bead dimensions. Experiment results are compared to outputs obtained using a set of published formulae relating input variables to output parameters and also investigated process variables on bead geometry for robotic $CO_2$ arc welding process The university of results obtained using empirical equations taken from existing models provided to be limited in predicting experimental bead shapes.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate optimum welding conditions of STS 304 thin sheet by GTA welding and control 6 $\delta$--fenite which is harmful in mechanical processing, corrosion problem and can be formed brittle a phase in using long term at high temperature. One series of automatic welds was made using argon plus 10, 20, 30 % nitrogen to ensure a fully austenite deposit. Results obtained were summarized as follows: 1) 6 $\sigma$ferrite content in the weld metals is influenced largely by the nitrogen content. 2) Additions of nitrogen to the shielding gas can significantly reduce the amount of retained delta ferrite and result in an increase in hot cracking. 3) Bead width was increased when Ar + $N_2$ shielding gas was used and travel speed was increased. 4) Ar+$N_2$ shielding gas made weld metal ductile and reduce 6 -$\delta$-ferrite.

The high-speed rotating arc process forms a flat bead surface with decreased penetration depth because the molten droplets are deflected by centrifugal force. Therefore the rotating arc welding for horizontal fillet welding increases the leg length with the increase of rotation frequency and prevents the deflection of weld bead and overlap. In this study, the relationship between the welding parameters and the weld bead shape - leg length and undercut - are investigated experimentally. Consequently, the weld quality could be improved by rotating arc welding, and sound weld bead was achieved when applied to horizontal fillet welding with 4mm gap by avoiding the undercut which is inevitable for the conventional GMA welding methods.

Almost every die fur automobiles must be corrected or remodeled for minor geometrical changes or for better hardness characteristics by arc welding process. Although many other kinds of arc welding processes have been automated with robots, this molten metal deposition process for die remodeling still depend entirely on experienced welders. In this study, the database for bead shapes with respect to welding parameters are constructed by experiments to automate the molten metal deposition by arc welding process. And the changes of welding parameters for inclined base metal are studied to consider the effect of die geometries fur the welding process.

Wet Underwater arc welding process is inverstigated by using experimentally developed flux coated underwater arc welding electrode and SS400 steel plate of 12mm thickness as base metal. Two kinds of different flux covered wet arc welding electrode of 3.2mm diameter (UW-1, UW-2) are individually developed and one of the improved underwater welding electrode (UW-2) may be put to practical use for underwater arc welding process.

철강 플랜트 주요 설비인 전로를 지지하는 장치의 접합부 강도설계를 위해 작용하중은 해석적인 방법으로 신뢰성 있게 계산하였고, 정적하중에 의한 응력은 ASME 규정에 따른 허용응력으로 평가하였다. 한편 피로설계 측면에서는 전로와 같은 대형 용접구조물은 강도상 취약부인 용접부에서 다양한 용접비드 형상에 따라 국부응력이 크게 달라지므로 설계단계에서 피로수명 평가에 어려움이 있었다. 따라서 전로 지지장치 접합부 피로설계는 설계단계에서 피로수명을 평가하는 실용적이고 안전측 방법으로 알려진 Hot Spot 응력을 사용하고 공신력을 갖는 설계규정인 ASME와 영국 PD 5500 절차에 의해 평가하였다. 평가결과 두 규정 모두 안전측에서 평가되는 것을 확인할 수 있었고 이 방법은 피로하중이 지배적인 대형구조물의 설계단계에서 유용한 방법으로 활용할 수 있으리라 판단된다.
