Since welding process for most pipelines with large diameter has been carried out by the manual process, automation of the welding process is necessary for the sake of consistent weld quality and improvement in productivity. Therefore the development of the optimized algorithm to decide the welding condition is an effective technique to prove the feasibility of interface standards and intelligent control technology to increase productivity and reduce the cost of system integration. In this study, the pipe welding experiment has been carried out using plused GMA welding process to select optimal welding condition. And necessary information in root-pass welding has been obtained by applying in the pipeline using the selected welding conditions through the welding experiment.

In case of manufacturing the high quality welds or pipeline, the full penetration weld has to be made along the weld joint. Thus the root pass welding is very important and has to be selected carefully. In this study, an experimental method for the selection of optimal welding condition was proposed in the root pass welding which was done along the V-grooved butt weld joint. This method uses the response surface analysis in which the width and height of back bead were chosen as the quality variables of the weld. The overall desirability function, which is the combined desirability function for the two quality variables, was used as the objective function for getting the optimal welding condition. In the experiments, the target values of the back bead width and the height are 6mm and zero respectively for the V-grooved butt weld joint of 8mm thickness mild steel. The optimal welding conditions could predict the back bead profile(bead width and height) as 6.003mm and -0.003mm. From a series of welding test, it was revealed that a uniform and full penetration weld bead can be obtained by adopting the optimal welding condition which was determined according to the method proposed.

선박 블록의 용접 공정에서는 용접선의 양쪽 끝이 벽에 의해 막혀있는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 벽이 있는 환경에서 맞대기 용접의 자동화를 위한 용접선 검출 시스템을 개발하였다. 용접선 검출 시스템은 벽에서 캐리지의 위치를 측정하고, 초층의 용접선을 검출하게 된다. 시스템은 레이저 변위센서와 초음파센서로 구성되어 있다. 레이저 변위센서는 모터에 의해 회전 왕복 운동하며 용접 모재까지의 거리를 측정하게 되고, 초음파센서는 양쪽 벽면까지의 거리를 측정한다. 초음파센서로 측정된 거리정보를 활용하여 용접선의 X(주행)좌표와 용접 시작 및 끝 위치를 판별한다. 그리고 레이저 변위센서에 의해 측정된 거리정보와 센서의 자세정보를 활용하여 용접선의 Y(위빙), Z(높이)좌표를 검출하게 된다. 용접선 검출 시스템은 용접 캐리지와 독립적인 구동을 위해 DSP를 이용하여 별도의 제어기를 구성하였다. 용접 도중 용접선 검출 시스템과 용접 토치(Torch)와 간섭을 피하고, 측정 불가능한 구간이 발생하지 않도록 용접선 검출 시스템을 캐리지의 양쪽에 부착할 수 있게 설계하였다. 최종적으로 용접 캐리지에 부착하고 실험을 수행하여 개발된 용접선 검출 시스템의 효용성을 확인하였다.

In this study, Microstructure and hardness of 1st layer with crystallographic orientation were investigated about solidification structure in multipass weld using high Mn-Ni flux cored wire. Microstructure of solidification consisted of austenite matrix and a little ${\varepsilon}-phase$ in grain boundaries. Orientation of grains was usually (001), (101), (111). According to crystallographic orientation, morphology of primary dendrite was different. The depletion of Fe and the segregation of Mn, C, Ni, Si, Cu, Cr, O were found along the grain boundaries. The area of segregation was wide with an order of (001), (101), (111) grains. And hardness of grains with crystallographic orientation increased with an order of (001), (101), (111) grains because of the segregation along dendrite boundary.
