용접부 인성을 향상시키기 위해 Ti 산화물을 첨가한 Ti 산화물강에 대하여 용접시 최고가 열온도와 냉각속도의 변화가 용접열영향부의 미세조직에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 용접열영향부의 인성향상에 기여하는 acicular ferrite는 140$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 최고가열온도와 $\Delta$t800-500가 40초보다 빠른 냉각속도에서 활발해 생성되었다. 오스테나이트 결정립내에서 개재물로부터 핵생성된 일차 acicular ferite의 생성량은 전체 aicular ferrite의 약 20% 정도로 적었으며 대부분의 acicular ferrite는 일차 acicular ferrite로부터 생성된 이차 acicular ferrite인 것으로 나타났다. 이차 acicular ferrite는 plate사이에 Fe3C층이 존재하는 것으로 보아 확산기구에 의해 생성되는 것으로 생각된다. 개재물은 TiO, TiO2, TiN, MnS, AI2O3 MnO(galaxite)등으로 구성된 복합상이었으며 개재물이 일차 acicular ferrite의 핵생성 site로 작용하기 위해서는 약 1$\mu\textrm{m}$이상의 크기가 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. Ti 산화물과 TiN는 직접적인 acicular ferrite의 핵생성 site로 작용하기보다는 MnS, galaxite 등의 석출 site로 작용하여 개재물의 크기를 증가시킴으로써 acicular ferrite의 생성을 촉진시키는 것으로 생각된다.

Post weld heat treatment (PWHT) of weldment of the low alloy Cr-Mo steel, in general, is carried out not only to remove residual stress and hydrogen existing in weldment but to improve fracture toughness of weld heat affected zone (HAZ). There occur some problems such as toughness decrement and stress relief cracking (SRC) in the coarse grained region of weld HAZ when PWHT is practiced. Especially, embrittlement of structure directly relates to the mode of fracture and is appeared as the difference of fracture surface such as grain boundary failure. Therefore, in this paper, the effect of heating rate on PWHT embrittlement under the various kinds of stresses simulated residual stress in weld HAZ was evaluated by COD fracture toughness test and observation of fracture surface. Fracture toughness of weld HAZ decreased with increment of heating rate under no stress, but it was improved to increment of heating rate under the stress. Grain boundary failure didn't almost appear at the heating rate of 600.deg.C/hr but it appeared from being the applied stress of 294 MPa at 220.deg.C/hr and 196 MPa at 60.deg.C/hr.

Optimizing investigation of characteristics of underwater welding by a gravity type arc welding process was experimentally carried out by using six types of domestic coated welding electrodes for welding of domestic marine structural steel plates (KR Grade A-1, SWS41A, SWS41B,) in order to develop the underwater welding techniques in practical use. Main results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The absorption speed of the coating of domestic coated lime titania type welding-electrode became constant at about 60 minutes in water and it was about 0.18%/min during initial 8 minutes of absorption time. 2. Thus, the immediate welding electrode could be used in underwater welding for such a short time in comparison with the joint strength of in-atmosphere-and on-water-welding by dry-, wet-or immediate-welding-electrode. 3. By bead appearance and X-ray inspection, ilmenite, limetitania and high titanium oxide types of electrodes were found better for underwater-welding of 10 mm KR Grade A-1 steel plates, while proper welding angle, current and electrode diameter were 6$0^{\circ}C$, above 160A and 4mm respectively under 28cm/min of welding speed. 4. The weld metal tensile strength or proof stress of underwater-welded-joints has a quadratic relationship with the heat input, and the optimal heat input zone is about 13 to 15KJ/cm for 10mm SWS41A steel plates, resulting from consideration upon both joint efficiency of above-100% and recovery of impact strength and strain. Meanwhile, the optimal heat input zone resulting from tension-tension fatigue limit above the base metal's of SWS41A plates is 16 to 19KJ/cm. Reliability of all the empirical equations reveals 95% confidence level. 6. The microstructure of the underwater welds of SES41A welded in such a zone has no weld defects such as hydrogen brittleness with supreme high hardness, since the HAZ-bond boundary area adjacent to both surface and base metal has only Hv400 max with the microstructure of fine martensite, bainite, pearlite and small amount of ferrite.

TIG 용접에서는 후판 용접의 경우 용입의 한계 때문에 깊고 넓은 그루브 가공을 하여 다층 용접을 한다. 이 때, 그루브를 채우는 용착금속에 의한 응고 수축과 과대한 입열로 인한 변형이 문제시 되고 있다. 변형을 줄이기 위해서는 용착금속의 양과 입열량을 줄여야 한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 그루브의 루트패이스를 두껍게 하고 그루브각을 줄여서 용착량을 줄인다. 이때, 좁은 그루브에서 두꺼운 루트패이스를 완전 용입할 수 있는 용접 프로세스가 필요하다. 비드가 좁고 깊은 용입 특성을 가지는 Plasma welding(PAW) 경우에는 좁은 그루브 속에 토치가 접근하기 어려워 적용하기 어렵다. 따라서 접근성이 용이한 TIG 용접에서 높은 용입형상비를 가지는 용접공정 개발이 필요하다. 선행연구로 높은 용입 형상비를 가지는 Active flux Tungsten Inert Gas(ATIG) 용접이 연구되었다. ATIG의 용입 증가 메커니즘으로는 Marangoni effect, 음이온들로 인한 아크 수축 효과, 절연 플럭스에 의한 아크 수축효과 등으로 알려져 있다. 또한 선행연구에서 ATIG에서 Ar가스에 He 또는 $H_2$ 가스를 첨가하면 용입이 더욱 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 A-TIG에 He 가스를 적용하고 아크길이 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 2.0mm와 전극 선단각 30도, 60도, 90도에 따른 용입 형상비와 변형량을 검토하기 위해 실험을 하였다. 실험 결과는 아크길이가 감소할수록 전극 선단각이 증가할수록 용입 형상비는 증가하였고, 변형량은 감소하였다.

This paper deals with a method to minimize the welding time for an AC spot welding system. The spot welding system using a conventional SCR type circuit has a disadvantage of slow control speed and no precise current control. Therefore, recently, the using of inverter type welding system is increasing. Conventional welding machine adopts several tens of switching devices connected in parallel to obtain a huge current of several thousands ampere with a short welding time. This paper analyzed a welding system consisting with 4 IGBT switches for a full-bridge inverter and conventional 60 [Hz] transformer. The simulation and experimental results show the validity of the proposed method.

Analytical model for the temperature distribution and the cooling rate of weld in dual beam laser welding is presented for investigating the possibility of controling the cooling rate. The model is based on the solutions to the problem of heat flow due to the distributed and line heat sources for preheating and welding respectively in plates with finite thickness. The effects of beam power, beam distribution parameter, interbeam distance, and welding speed on the resulting temperature distribution and cooling rate are presented. The cooling rates of dual beam laser weld at the weld centerline under the investigated conditions are reduced to as one third of those of welds which were produced by single beam laser. And it appeared that the cooling rate of dual beam laser weld is strongly dependent on the process parameters of preheating laser beam power and welding speed.

During PWHT, it is well known that residual stress in weld HAZ is one of the reasons for PWHT embitterment. In case of static loading, it was experimentally found that fracture toughness of weld HAZ was dependant upon PWHT conditions. However, the effects of PWHT on fatigue behavior are not clearly verified. Therefore, in this paper, the effects of heating rate PWHT conditions and residual stress simulated in weld HAZ of Cr-Mo steel on fatigue crack propagation behavior were evaluated by fatigue Testing and SEM observation. The obtained results are summarized as follows; 1. Applied stress($10 Kgf/mm^2$) in weld HAZ during PWHT tneded to decrease fatigue strength and to increase fatigue crack growth rate. 2. Applied stress and slow heating rate of 60.deg. C/hr during PWHT contributed to precipitin of impurity elements as well as carbide, which promoted the fatigue crack growth. 3. Fatigue crack growth rate decreased at the heating rate of 220.deg. C/hr in contrast with 600.deg. C/hr and 60.deg. C/hr.

TIG welding process is applied for the active metal such as aluminum and titanium, also sometimes for overlay welding of superalloy. However the welding speed to be applied is very low because of the unstable bead formed in the region of high current and high welding speed. The present study was carried out to examine the basic phenomena of high speed TIG melt run welding by the 2% Th - W electrode(dia.3.2mm) of various tip shapes.

Laser beam welding parameters have experimentally investigated, using a continuous wave 3kW $CO_2$ laser with the various travel speeds, beam mode and laser beam power in low carbon steels. An optimum position of focus and the effect of shielding gas on penetration depth with varying the flow range of 0.5 to 5.1m/min have been combined to investigate the effect of laser power and travel speed on penetration depth and bead width. It is found that the optimum position of focus in 3kW class laser is 0.5 to 1.5mm below the surface of the material. The flow rate of shielding gas affects the penetration depth and He is more effective than Ar. The penetration depth in laser welds of low carbon steels is between two and four times of the bead width. Laser beam welding of butt joints in 2mm thick carbon steel has been carried out to establish a weldability lobe. The lobe indicating acceptable welding conditions is introduced.
