Pulse laser welding of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was simulated to optimize welding conditions by using commercial finite element code MARC. Due to geometric symmetry, a half model of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was considered. for the heat transfer analysis, user subroutines were applied to boundary condition. The material properties such as conductivity, specific heat, and mass density were given as a function of temperature and the latent heat associated with a given temperature range was considered. A moving heat source was designed on the basis of experimental data. As a result, Nd:YAG laser welding for AISI 304 stainless steel was successfully simulated and it should be useful to determine optimal welding condition.

Residual stress caused in the weldments with high restraint force are often observed during welding in the weldments of Inner and outdoor materials or radial tanks. The reason is that quantitative analysis about thermal stresses during laser welding is lacking for this weldments. To verify Finite Elements Method (FEM) theory, the temperature was measured with thermocouple in a real time in this paper. Also analysis of the thermal stress for welding condition is performed by Comsol program package on various welding condition in SCP1-S butt welding. The principal stress in laser welding process is seen through the width direction. Also, it was confirmed that a change in base metal by thermal expansion made the stress in width direction stronger. Base metal close to the weld bead as the process progresses to the tensile stress in the compressive stress was varied. It was shown that the change of stress was quantitative from the bead at a certain distance.

The application of a feedback control system in robotic arc welding is becoming more and more demanding than ever before. This requirement arises from the fact that robotic arc welding process needs no manual operator to monitor and manipulate the process parameters and hence a means of controlling the quality of the robotic arc welding process becomes apparent. Arc force sensor employed in this research to monitor the bead geometry of the arc welding process, A relationship between the bead dimension and the arc force distributions was established. Experimental configuration for measurement of arc force was used to quantify the changes in the arc force distributions of the plate being welded. Arc force sensor mounted at the end of the robot wrist was employed to measure the arc force applied to the weld. The sensor information was the used to establish a relationship between welding current and arc force. Arc force sensor have shown to be on of the most sophisticated technique to monitor perturbations that occurred during arc welding process.

이 연구에서는 덮개판 형상이 피로특성에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해서 강교량을 구성하는 구조세목 중 덮개판 필렛용접부를 대상으로 일련의 피로실험을 실시하였다. 피로실험결과 덮개판 형상에 따라 피로강도에 다소 차이를 나타내고 있었으나 국내 및 외국의 피로설계기준을 만족함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 비치마크실험결과로부터 피로균열 발생점은 용접지단부의 형상에 밀접하게 관련되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 용접지단부의 여러 곳에서 동시다발적으로 발생한 피로균열이 반타원형의 표면균열의 형태로 성장하고 이 균열이 서로 합체되어 관통균열의 형태로 성장함으로써 결국 파단에 이르렀다. 한편, 파괴역학적 해석결과로부터 기존의 제안식 및 유한요소해석에서 구한 균열보정 계수 중기하학적형상보정계수가 가장 지배적임을 알 수 있었으며, 피로균열성장속도와 유한요소해석에서 구한 응력확대계수범위 사이의 관계로부터 덮개판 필렛용접부의 피로수명을 산정 할 수 있었다.

SAW(Submerged Arc Welding) process is generally applied to a wide range of welding area in the fabrication of steel structure. This process has a good characteristic properties such as the high quality of welds and the high deposition rates, but in case of welding on a thick steel plate, it also has higher cold crack susceptibility than that of a thin steel plate. The purpose of this research is to find the main factor of crack generation and clarify the countermeasure for crack prevention, and then establish the optimum welding condition in a heavy thick steel plate. The results of this study are as follows, 1. The cause of crack generation is found the diffusible hydrogen penetrated into weld metal by decomposition of the remained moisture in SAW flux during welding. 2. For the removal of diffusible hydrogen, the raw materials of SAW flux are to be dehydrated at the high temperature in the initial manufacturing stage. 3. Mechanical properties of weld metal welded with the dehydrated SAW flux were evaluated very excellent, furthermore the weld metal has been proved to have low diffusible hydrogen content with 3.1ml /100g. 4. The weldability and quality welded with thick steel plates were improved by establishing the new optimum welding condition.

Metal transfer behavior of three shielded metal arc welding electrodes, AWS El1018, E6013 and E6010, were investigated through the characterization of size distribution of droplets and measurement of arc voltage signals. Of the three electrodes, Ell018 electrode showed the largest droplet size with the smallest amount of spatter, while E6010 electrode showed the smallest droplet size with the largest amount of spatter. Even though Ell0l8 electrode showed a good agreement between the frequencies of voltage drop in FFT processed voltage signals and the transfer rate of droplets, E6013 and E6010 electrodes showed weaker correlation because of their dominant explosive transfer behavior. The type of cathode used and electrode baking time also influenced the metal transfer behavior. Compared to bead-on-plate welding using steel plate as a cathode, welding on a water-cooled copper pipe showed less short-circuiting and higher melting rate in all electrodes because of higher arc potential and/or anode drop. When baked for a long time, E6010 electrode showed much more stable arc with less short-circuiting and explosion due to the loss of gas formation ingredients.

The purpose of this paper is to describe experimental results about the butt welding and bead on plate welding of the high power Continuous Wave (CW) Fiber laser for Ultra-low carbon Interstitial Free(IF) steel plate for gear part of car. After being welded of the gear parts by the fiber laser and electron beam Microstructures of melting zone had been mixed acicular, granular bainitic, quasi-polygonal and widmanstatten ferrite because of a radical thermal diffusion after welding, difference of critical volume and grain size. As a result of experiment, when gear parts were welded by the fiber laser and electron beam, the fiber laser welding has been stable properties without internal defects more than the electron beam welding. Therefore it has the very advantages of welding high quality and productivity more than conventional melting method. The optimal welding processing parameters for gear parts were as follows : the laser power and welding speed were 3kWatt, 30mm/sec respectively. At this time heat input was $21.2{\times}10^3J/cm^2$.

The purpose of this study is to establish the predictive method of angular distortion of the double-sided multi-pass butt weldment achieve it, the behavior of angular distortion in the butt weldment were investigated using comprehensive finite element analyses and experiments. The angular distortion in the multi-pass butt weldment strongly depends on the welding heat input(Q) and the effective bending rigidity of the weld throat. The effective bending rigidity of the first welding pass on the backing side was defined as the function of dimensionless parameter(k) and a bending rigidity of bead-on-plate weldment. Based on the results, the predictive equation for angular distortion of multi-pass butt weldment was proposed and verified by experiments.
