There was extreme improvement in the processing result of weld toe, but there is possibility that the fatigue failure occurs from the weld root part where the fatigue strength became low relatively. This study did the fatigue test at the cross rib specimens which implemented a partial penetration weld to improve the fatigue strength of the weld root part. As a result of the fatigue test of the partial penetration weld and the fillet weld specimens, almost the same fatigue strength appeared. Because the fatigue failure began from toe, there was not a reinforcement effect in the weld root part by the partial penetration weld. So, it examined fatigue strength at the partial penetration welding specimens which processed toe to stop the fatigue failure of toe part. As a result, there was big fatigue strength improvement from the partial penetration weld than the fillet weld. Therefore, if fatigue crack occurrence can be restrained from toe, it thinks that the fatigue strength of the root part can improve by the partial penetration weld, after all, it thinks that the overall fatigue life can improve.

본 연구는 조선 소조립, 판넬조립 등의 공정에서 발생되는 필렛 용접 부위의 용접 자동화를 위한 로봇 시스템 개발에 관한 연구이다. 조선등의 중공업 분야에서는 작업이 중량이고 대형임에 따라 로봇이 부재의 특정위치로 이동하여 작업해야 한다. 또한 작업대상의 형상이나 치수가 매번 변경됨에 따라 이에 능동적으로 대처할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 두 대의 로봇(2대x6축=12축)이 다축 문형 캔트리(4축)에 장착된 조선용 필렛용접 로봇 시스템(16축)을 개발하였다. 필렛용접부재를 중심으로 두 대의 로봇이 양쪽을 동시에 용접하는 방식으로 고속회전토치를 적용하여 위빙동작없이 원하는 용접각장(Leg Length)을 생성할 수 있다. 캔트리 시스템은 PC 기반의 별도 제어기로 구성하여 두 대의 로봇 제어기와 신호 입출력에 의해 동시동작이 가능하도록 하였으며, 작업장에 놓인 부재의 위치오차를 보장하기 위하여 시각센서를 적용하였다. 용접시작점의 위치보정을 위한 시작점 검출을 위해접촉센서(Touch Sensor)를 적용하였으며, 용접선 추적을 위해서 아크센서(Arc Sensor)를 적용하였다. 본 시스템 2000년 1월 제작 설치가 완료되어 현재 성능 테스트가 완료된 상태로 향후 생산현장에 적용될 계획이다.

In this study, fatigue tests were performed on longitudinal out-of-plane gusset fillet welded joints and transverse non-load-carrying cruciform rib fillet welded joints, and then applicability of hammer-peening treatment on improvement of fatigue life for fatigue damaged weld joints were investigated. Fatigue tests were carried out on three types of gusset and rib welded specimens: as-welded specimens, post-weld hammer peened specimens and hammer peened specimens at 50% of as-welded specimen's fatigue life. Before and after hammer peening treatment, the geometry of weld toes and surface stresses near weld toes were measured. As a result of hammer peening treatment, compressive residual stresses of 30-83MPa were introduced near weld toes of the gusset and rib welded joints, and 130% increase in fatigue life and fatigue limit of the welded joints could be realized by hammer peening treatment at 50% fatigue life of as-welded conditions.

In the study herein, the fatigue test was conducted on the fillet welds of the load carrying cruciform joint, which is frequently used in the steel structures such as bridges, ships, etc. In addition, the fatigue strength was analyzed with respect to the different post-weld treatment. The treatment methods used include Toe Grinding, TIG Dressing, and Weld Profiling. The fatigue test was under constant amplitude with repeated load for these test specimens. In the load carrying full penetration fillet welded joints, regardless the conduction of the post-weld treatment or not, they all secured the fatigue strength of category "F", which exceeds the fatigue design specifications of BS Code. In the comparison of the fatigue strength upon the post-weld treatment, the fatigue strength tends to increase according to the order: Toe Grinding, TIG Dressing, and Weld Profiling.

The stress concentration factor gives the significant effect the fatigue strength of welded joints. The model used herein is the type of the load carrying fillet welded cruciform joint with full or partial penetration. In order to obtain the stress concentration factor at the weld toe of fillet joint, the reasonable element size of the toe part is investigated and the stress analysis for the series models by FEM under tensile load is performed. On the basis of the calculation results, the estimated formulae for the stress concentration factor(Kt) at weld toe part of the fillet welded joint, which the effect of toe radius, flank angle and other parameters are taken into account, is derived.

In order to study the distribution of welding residual stress through the plate thickness. experiment and analysis of fillet welding details were carried out. Especially, a residual stress in the weld root part of T-joint fillet weld whose measurement was difficult up to now was measured. By using the heat input and the number of the weld layers as parameters, the distribution of the 3-dimensional residual stress was investigated. As a result, we can say that with increasing the heat input, the residual stress in the weld toe and weld root barely changes. But, the area of the tensile residual stress became wide. Then, comparing a single pass with multi-pass weld method, it was found that the residual stress decreased more in multi-pass than in single pass. Moreover, it was found the thing that the area of tensile residual stress by multi-pass is lower than that by single-pass in the near weld part.
