In this research, laser welding of automotive transmission components was investigated to replace electron beam welding which is normally conducted under vacuum condition. Fiber laser welding was applied to the automotive transmission components - hub clutch and annulus gear. In the component welding, the laser welding parameters were optimized to eliminate spatters and the end crater. By applying laser welding to the transmission parts, the process time could be reduced up to 70% compared with the current electron beam welding process.

The welding has a high proportion of the production and drying of ships or offshore plants. Non-destructive testing is carried out to verify the quality of welds in Korea, radiography test (RT) is mainly used. Currently, most shipyards adopt analog-type techniques to print the films through the shoot of welding parts. Therefore, the time required from radiography test to pass or fail judgment is long and complex, and is being manually carried out by qualified inspectors. To improve this problem, this paper covers a platform for scanning and digitalizing RT films occurring in shipyards with high resolution, accumulating them in management servers, and applying artificial intelligence (AI) technology to detect welding defects. To do this, we describe the process of designing and developing RT film scanning equipment, welding inspection information integrated management platform, fault reading algorithms, visualization software, and testing and verification of each developed element in conjunction.

The purpose of this study was to develop a new connection method between steel beams and PC columns known as SL connectors. Composite moment frames consisting of PC columns (or composite columns) and steel beams make the best use of advantages of both concrete and steel materials. However, the connection between two members of different materials can be complex and/or increase the fabrication costs significantly. The concept of SL connectors is based on using wedges and the emphasis is on a self-locking (SL) feature. SL connectors are easy to install and provide better seismic performance compared to conventional connections. To evaluate the seismic performance of the steel beam-to-PC column joints with SL connectors, cyclic load tests were conducted. Test result showed that steel beam-to-concrete column joint with SL connectors was able to provide sufficient performance for use in seismic resistant moment frames.

In this research work attempts were made to study the bonding of thermoplastics with adhesives using solar energy. In order to study the curing behaviour necessary experiments were conducted under varying conditions of temperature, exposure time and power. The cured samples were then studied under the optical microscope before subjecting to tensile testing in order to study their mechanical properties. The fracture surfaces were further studied under the Scanning Electron Microscopy in order to study the microstructural changes that are taken place during curing. From the present study it is evident that curing under higher solar energy temperature, generally improves bond strength and quality of the adhesive joints when compared to other modes of curing process expect the microwave curing process.

With the progress in process automation, it becomes necessary that a robot should have various sophisticated capabilities. A robot programming language is a tool that can give a robot such capabilities without any change in robot architecture. Especially a task level automatic programming system enables a robot able to perform a job intelligently. Therefore anyone who is not an expert on welding or robot programming can easily use it. In this research, basic automatic welding program is combined with workspace information, which makes users do an arc welding job automatically.

로봇 경로프로그래밍 작업의 단순화는 산업용 로봇응용분야중 경로가 복잡할 경우, 예를 들어 연삭, 디버링, 폴리싱등 의 가공분야 그리고 아크용접같은 작업에서, 더욱 절실한 문제가 되고있다. 기존 로봇 프로그래밍 방식은 죠이스틱 또는 티칭 유니트, 오프라인 그리고 메스터-슬레이브 방식으로 구분될 수 있는데 각각 많은 프로그래밍 시간소요, 현장성부족 그리고 적용 로봇에의 한계를 문제점으로 들 수 있다. 여기서는 6축 수직 다관절 로봇의 손목부위에 6자 유도의 F/T 센서를 부착하여 작업자가 직접 로봇의 엔드 이펙트를 잡고 원하는 경로를 따라가는 동안 경로가 자동 프로 그래밍되는 알고리즘을 실험 결과와 함께 제시하고 있다.

Zinc coated steel sheets have been widely used in automotive industry. High power laser welding has been used as an excellent welding means for thin sheets. The welding residual stress, which was brought in laser welding, causes making weak the mechanical strength. The purpose of this study is to get the residual stress distribution in various laser welding condition by FEM and verify the results by X-Ray diffraction. Welding residual stresses have been calculated by thermal elasto-plastic analysis using finite element method. Form the results, it can be known that the laser welding condition affects to distribution of the residual stress.

자동용접용 솔리드와이어를 위한 치환동도금층 밀착력 향상을 위해 착화제로 Alanine을 사용하였다. 테이프 시험결과 Alanine 첨가에 따라 밀착력이 현저히 증가하였다. 또한 도금층내에 혼입되는 H와 Fe 분석결과 Alanine을 첨가하지 않았을 때 도금층 전체 영역에서 H와 Fe의 검출강도가 높게 나타났으나, Alanine 10g/l추가시 도금층내에서 미량 검출되었다.
