The fatigue life of welded joints is associated with crack initiation and propagation life. Theses cannot be easily separated, since the definition of crack initiation is vague due to the initiation of multiple cracks that are distributed randomly along the weld toes. In this paper a method involving a notch strain and fracture mechanical approach, which considers the characteristics of welded joints, e.g. welding residual stress and statistical characteristics of multiple cracks, is proposed, in an attempt to reasonably estimate these fatigue lives. The fatigue crack initiation life was evaluated statistically, e.g. the probability of failure occurrence in 2.3, 50 and $97.7\%$, in which the cyclic response of the local stress/strain hi the vicinity of the weld toes and notch factors derived by the irregular shape of the weld bead are taken into account. The fatigue crack propagation life was simulated by using Monte-Carlo method in consideration of the Ad-factor and the mechanical behavior of mutual interaction/coalescence between two adjacent cracks. The estimated total fatigue life, $(N_T)_{P50\%}$, as a sum of crack initiation and propagation life under the probability of failure occurrence in $50\%$ showed a good agreement with the experimental results. The developed technique for fatigue lift estimation enables to provide a quantitative proportion of crack initiation and propagation life in the total fatigue life due to the nominal stress range, ${\Delta}S$.

Bead shape control with gas force process has been developed to overcome the concave back bead in pipe orbital welding. However, It is impossible to make a convex back bead using the existing gas nozzle, because it has high gas-consuming and low gas force. The purpose of this paper, to develop optimum shape of nozzle which to reduce the consumption of gas, maximizing the shield gas force with low cost and high productivity coincide the Green welding. In this paper venturi-type nozzle was designed by using the Venturi meter and compared velocity, pressure, arc shape in the flat position with existing CP-nozzle. As a result, Venturi-type nozzle's maximum velocity and pressure was improved at the same flow rate. Also heat input was increased by the arc contraction in the flat position.

The purpose of this paper, to develop optimum shape of nozzle which to reduce the consumption of gas, maximizing the shield gas force with low cost and high productivity coincide the Green welding. In this paper venturi-type nozzle was compared with existing CP-type nozzle by TIG pulse welding in overhead position. As a result, CP-type occurs the wormholes in the overhead position, but the Venturi-type without the pore and formed a good bead appearance.

강교량 부재인 십자연결형 접착부를 하중비전달형과 하중전달형으로 각각 제작하여 피로 강도 저감 정도와 응력비 변화에 따른 피로거동을 평가하였다. 또한, 필렛용접 비드의 기하학적 형상에 따른 응력집중을 확인하기 위하여 전산해석을 수행하였다. 피로실험 결과 시험편의 응력비가 피로 강도에 미치는 영향은 거의 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 하중전달형 시험편과 대부분의 밀착 시험편은 용접지단부에서 균열이 발생하여 모재가 파단됨을 알 수 있었다. 모재가 파단된 십자형 시험편의 피로강도는 ${\Delta}\sigma_c$=63.5 MPa로 하중 비전달형 시험편의 피로강도 ${\Delta}\sigma_c$=83.8 MPa보다 약 24% 작게 나타났다. 본 연구대상 시험편은 도로교 시방서상에 모재단면에 대한 응력으로 피로범주 C등급으로 규정하고 있으므로, 실험결과를 모재단면에 대한 응력으로 피로강도를 환산하면 78.27 MPa로 허용 피로강도보다 작은 것으로 나타났다.

The automatic welding systems, have received much attention in recent years, because they are highly suitable not only to increase the quality and productivity, but also to decrease manufacturing time and cost for a given product. Automatic welding work in semiconductor or space industry to be carried out in pipe line and butt joint mostly and plasma arc welding(PAW) is actively applied. To get the desired quality welds in automated welding system is challenging, a mathematical model is needed that has complete control over the relevant process parameters in order to obtain the required mechanical properties. However, In various industries the welding process mathematical model is not fully formulated for the process parameter and on the welding conditions, therefore only partial variables can be predicted. Therefore, this paper investigates the interaction between the welding parameters and mechanical properties for predicting the weld bead geometry by analyzing the S/N ratio.

플럭스 코어 아크 용접(flux cored arc welding, FCAW)에서 플럭스(flux)로 사용되는 합금 분말 내의 염소이온은 용접 금속의 비드 표면에 기공을 유발하여 불량을 유발하거나, 합금 분말에 잔류한 염소가 금속의 부식을 유발할 수 있다. 합금 분말의 염소이온 정량은 주로 연소-이온크로마토그래피법이 사용되나, 장비가 고가이며 고도의 전문성이 요구되는 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 합금 분말의 염소이온 정량으로 주로 쓰이는 방법인 연소-이온크로마토그래피 법과 X-선 형광분석법, 그리고 전위차 적정법을 비교하여 현장에서 적용하기 쉽고 정확한 정량법을 찾고자 한다. 염소이온 정량의 대상으로는 플럭스로 가장 흔히 사용되는 마그네슘-알루미늄 합금 분말을 대상으로 한다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해, 전위차 적정법을 현장에서 합금 분말의 염소이온 정량에 적용할 수 있다.

The automation and control of robotic welding process is a very complex assignment because the system is affected by a number of variables which are very difficult to determine or predict in practice. Not only the optimization of the robotic welding process is considered from the point of view of the time and the cost of manufacturing. as well as quality of the weldment. the human factors of the production and many other factors must taken into consideration. hi order to determine the optimal parameters of robotic welding process, it is necessary to build a computer model representing all parameters influencing the welding process as well as the mutual dependence between them. This paper presents an approach to modeling the robotic welding process in which all parameters affecting the welding process are included using a neural network. A detailed analysis of the simulation results has been carried out to evaluate the proposed neural network model.

Pulse laser welding of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was simulated to optimize welding conditions by using commercial finite element code MARC. Due to geometric symmetry, a half model of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was considered. for the heat transfer analysis, user subroutines were applied to boundary condition. The material properties such as conductivity, specific heat, and mass density were given as a function of temperature and the latent heat associated with a given temperature range was considered. A moving heat source was designed on the basis of experimental data. As a result, Nd:YAG laser welding for AISI 304 stainless steel was successfully simulated and it should be useful to determine optimal welding condition.

Burr grinding, Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) dressing, ultrasonic impact treatment, and peening are used to improve fatigue life in steel structures. These methods improve the fatigue life of weld joints by hardening the weld toe, by improving the bead shape, and by creating the compressive residual stress. In this study, a new post-weld treatment method improving the weld bead shape and metal structure at the welding zone using Friction Stir Processing (FSP), a welding process, is proposed to enhance fatigue life. For that, a pin-shaped tool and processing condition employing Friction Stir Processing (FSP) is established through experiments. Experimental results revealed that fatigue life is improved by around 50% compared to as-welded fatigue specimens by reducing the stress concentration at the weld toe and by generating a metal structure finer than that of flux-cored arc welding (FCAW).

This paper shows the experimental results controlling the height of surface and back bead in GMAW by analyzing the unexpected gaps between base metals produced in welding and by controlling welding velocity due to the variation of the gap between base metals in thin-plate welding. The back bead behavior and burn-through in I-type butt joint $CO_2$ welding of thin mild steel are analyzed in the views of short circuit time ratio and short circuit frequency. It is shown through experimental consideration that the short circuit time ratio method is more reasonable than the short circuit frequency method in analyzing the formulation of back bead under changing the gap between base metals. Based on the these results, welding manipulator is designed so as to satisfy the bead height control in real time by measuring the short circuit time ratio. To show the effectiveness of the developed bead formulation control system, the experiment is implemented under two welding conditions such as increasing gap from 0mm to 0.8mm and gradually increasing gap from 0mm to 1.2mm. The experimental results show that the bead formulation can be controlled uniformly in spite of the variation of the gap between base metals.
