In weaving welding where a V groove exists, the heat input distribution is an important factor that determines the defectiveness of the bead shape, undercut and over-lap. In this study, the amount of heat input, which is determined by the welding current, voltage, speed and weaving conditions is calculated through numerical methods. Furthermore, the heat input distribution as a two- dimensional heat source was observed when applied to each groove. Therefore, a heat input control algorithm is suggested to prevent the defects generated from undercut or over-lap, which was verified through an analysis of the heat input distribution.

In torch weaving in arc welding on V groove, the heat input distribution on groove surface is a main factor determining the bead shape and the weld quality with and without the weld defects such as undercut, overlap, etc. In this study, we calculate the heat input varying with the welding current, arc voltage, welding speed and the touch weaving condition using numerical method. And we investigate the heat input distribution on groove surface while applying the various grooves having 2 dimensional heat sources.

In this study, experimental and computer simulation results are compared and analyzed. Three-dimensional (3D) fabricated matrices from an MJM 3D printer were joined with poly-acetate thermoplastic polymers using a diode laser. A power range of 5-7 W was used to irradiate the boundary of two polymers. The heated polymers flowed into the matrices of the 3D fabricated structure, and reliable mechanical joining was achieved. Computer simulation showed the temperature distribution in the polymers, and flow direction was estimated based on the flux and temperature information. It was found that the more than the minimum energy threshold was required to effectively join the polymers and that two scans at low-speed were more effective than four scans at high speed.

Steel materials, which are normally used in bridge structures, are prone to corrosion and have thin plate structures. Steel bridges that have been damaged through increased vehicle load and corrosion are frequently expected to be strengthened. Repair or strengthening methods generally include cutting, bolting, and welding. The basic characteristics of stress and deformation behavior generated by cutting and welding in the course of the repair work, however, are not yet understood. It is difficult to say whether the safety of the structure after welding conforms with existing safety evaluation methods.Therefore, to gain confidence in the material and to guarantee the safety of the structure after welding, the stress generated by heat, through welding and cutting, was generalized. The effect of additional loads with respect to stress generated by heat was also investigated.

Steel bridges, which have been damaged by load and corrosion, need repair or strengthening. That is a cause of decreasing the durability of structure. In order to solve these problems, welding repair and strengthening methods can be considered. In general, cutting and welding procedure is carried out during the repair welding. Therefore, the investigation of the behavior of residual stress and deformation generated by cutting and welding is very important for safety of structure. Residual stress and deformation produced by gas cutting and arc welding were analyzed using 2D and 3D thermal elasto-plastic FEM. According to the results, the magnitude of temperature was analyzed by 2D-FEM is smaller than that was analyzed using the 3D-FEM at the start and end edge of flange. And the magnitude and distribution of residual stress of perpendicular direction of the cutting line and welding line was analyzed by the 2D-FEM was similar to that was analyzed by 3D-FEM. Therefore, it is possible to predict cutting and welding residual stress by 2D and 3D FEM.

Narrow gap welding has many advantages over conventional V-grooved butt welding such as high productivity, small deformation and improved mechanical property of joints. With narrower groove gap, less arc heat input is expected will all the other advantages of narrow gap welding. The main defects of narrow gap welding include the lack of root fusion, convex bead surface and irregular surface, all of which have negative effects on the next welding pass. This paper suggests an up-and-down torch oscillation for ultra narrow gap welding with gap size of 5mm and investigates the proper welding conditions to fulfill the reliable and high welding quality. First, GMA welding model was suggested for ultra narrow gap welding system with Halmoy's model referenced for wire melting modeling. And the arc length in ultra narrow gap was defined. Secondly, based on the experimental results of up-and-down torch oscillation welding, phase shift of current and wire extension length were simulated for varying oscillation frequency to show that weld the bead shape in ultra narrow gap welding can be predicted. As the result, it was confirmed that reliable weld quality in ultra narrow gap welding can be achieved with up-and-down torch oscillation above 15Hz due to its ability to provide uniform heat input along the sidewall of gap.

There have been many studies on the two dimensional thermo-elasto-plastic analysis in welding process, mostly from viewpoint of residual stresses. In this study, the temperature distribution, transient thermal stress, and angular distortion during bead-on-plate gas metal arc welding of rectangular plates were analyzed by using the finite element method. A nonlinear heat transfer analysis was first performed by taking account of the temperature-dependent material properties and convection heat losses on the surface. This was followed by a thermo-elasto-plastic stresses and distortion analysis that incorporates the constrained boundary condition of the two dimensional solution domain to get the three dimensional size effect of the plate. The constrained boundary conditions adopted in this study were the constant displacement condition over the whole two dimensional section for axial movement in the welding direction, and the force boundary condition for rotational movementof the domain around the axis of the welding direction. It could be revealed that the theoretical predictions of the angular distortion have an improved agreement with the experimentally obtained data presented in the previous study.

최근에 건조되는 선박이나 구조물들은 점차 대형화 되어가고, 이에 사용되는 판재들은 점차 고강도 극후판재화 되어가고 있다. 극후판재의 용접성을 향상시키기 위해서는 대입열 용접이 주로 적용되고 있는 실정인데, 30 mmt 이상의 후판을 1 pass로 용접하기 위해서는 EGW(Electro-gas welding) 기법을 사용한다. 대입열 용접은 용접입열(heat input)이 매우 높아 용착금속과 열영향부의 냉각속도가 매우 느려 용접열영향부에서 특히 fusion line 근처의 열영향부는 결정립 조대화 및 취약한 미세조직을 형성함으로서 저온인성을 크게 저하시키고, 연화 현상(softening effect)을 발생시켜 강도가 저하되는 문제점이 주로 발생하였다. 하지만 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 대입열용접에 사용된는 강재의 미세조직을 제어하여 AlN, TiN, $TiO_2$ 등의 석출물을 이용한 용접열영향부의 저온인성을 향상시켰다. 이러한 문제점이 발생하는 대입열용접에서 저온인성 시험은 주로 fuison line + 1, 2mm에서 수행한다. 하지만 대입열 용접시 용착금속의 냉각속도도 매우 느리기 때문에 용착금속의 위치에 따라 저온 인성 특성이 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 EGW 용착금속의 위치에 따른 저온인성 특성을 평가하기 위해 EH-36N, 40mmt 판재를 사용하여 1pole EG 용접 하였다. 용착금속의 저온인성 특성을 평가하기위해 충격 시편의 노치 위치가 fusion line - 2mm와 용접부 중앙을 기준으로 4곳을 선정하여 충격시험을 수행하였다. 또한 용착금속의 경도 분포를 알아보기 위해 micro vickers hardness tester(mitutoyo UR-501)을 사용해 hardness mapping 시험을 하였다. 용착금속의 저온인성은 미세조직과, 산소량에 따라 변화 할 수 있기 때문에 용착금속 위치를 달리하여 미세조직과 산소량도 각각 분석하였다. 용착금속의 저온인성을 향상시킬 수 있는 침상형페라이트와 비금속개재물의 상관관계에 관해 검토 하였다.
