In this study, carbon steel (A53) is used as the material for the pipes in a marine plant and ship industry. Welds are necessary to join the carbon steel, and the effect of this welding on the properties of the carbon steel has been studied by many researchers. In this study, the dynamic behavior of welded carbon steel was studied using an acoustic emission (AE) technique, which is a nondestructive test. There are numerous AE parameters that can be used to analyze the damage behavior of carbon steel by external loading. The AE parameters of energy, cumulative count, amplitude, and AE event were used, and each parameter was differentiated according to the degree of damage to the carbon steel. The energy showed a high level at the elastic range of the load curve, while the amplitude had the highest value at the hardening region. The cumulative count showed a growth tendency similar to the loading curve. In addition, an ultrasonic technique and hardness test were applied to evaluate the mechanical properties according to the base zone, HAZ region, and weld zone of the weld specimen. The velocity and attenuation ratio showed little change between zones, and an evaluation of the ultrasonic waves on each zone of the specimen was found to be a useful method to clarify the mechanical properties of the carbon steel.

마찰용접은 축 대칭 단면금속을 용접하는 매우 유용한 결합 과정이다. 본 논문에서는 굴삭기용 호스 니플의 관대관 마찰용접을 시행하여 수송산업 등에 적용 가능성을 제안하고 마찰용접 변수의 기계적 특성을 분석하여 최적화 조건을 결정하고자 하였다. 회전속도, 마찰가열압력 및 가열시간 등 주요 변수를 선정하고 각 매개변수의 세 가지 수준에서 실험을 수행하였다. 한편, 최적의 마찰용접조건을 비파괴적으로 도출하기 위하여 음향방출기법이 적용되었으며 카운터, 이벤트 및 파형과 주파수 스팩트럼 등의 AE 파라미터들을 이용하여 마찰용접시 발생하는 신호를 분석하고자 하였다. 인장시험 결과 최적의 용접 변수는 회전속도 1300 rpm, 마찰가열압력 15 MPa, 마찰가열시간 10초로 나타났으며, 이벤트는 마찰용접된 시험편의 인장강도를 추정하는데 유용한 파라미터가 되었다.

In this paper, friction welded joints were constructed to investigate the mechanical properties of welded 15-mm diameter solid bars of Mg alloy (AZ31B). The main friction welding parameters were selected to endure reliable quality welds on the basis of visual examination, tensile tests, impact energy test, Vickers hardness surveys of the bonds in the area and heat affected zone (HAZ), and macrostructure investigations. The study reached the following conclusions. The tensile strength of the friction welded materials (271 MPa) was increased to about 100% of the AZ31B base metal (274 MPa) under the condition of a heating time of 1 s. The metal loss increased lineally with an increase in the heating time. The following optimal friction welding conditions were determined: rotating speed (n) = 2000 rpm, heating pressure (HP) = 35 MPa, upsetting pressure (UP) = 70 MPa, heating time (HT) = 1 s, and upsetting time (UT) = 5 s, for a metal loss (Mo) of 10.2 mm. The hardness distribution of the base metal (BM) showed HV55. All of the BM parts showed levels of hardness that were approximately similar to friction welded materials. The weld interface of the friction welded parts was strongly mixed, which showed a well-combined structure of macro-particles without particle growth or any defects. In addition, an acoustic emission (AE) technique was applied to derive the optimum condition for friction welding the Mg alloy nondestructively. The AE count and energy parameters were useful for evaluating the relationship between the tensile strength and AE parameters based on the friction welding conditions.
