In this study, EH36 is thick steel plate, which welded by auto $CO_2$ gas welding machine, has been applied on offshore filed. The specimen was examined by indentation tester and it was measured for fracture toughness at $18^{\circ}C$, $0^{\circ}C$, $-20^{\circ}C$ and $-45^{\circ}C$ by low temperature chamber, respectively. The absorbed energy was got on same temperature by Charpy impact tester. The weld surface was observed for watch of changed crystalline structure by optical microscope, and fracture surface of impact test specimen were observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM).

Considering the fuel consumption of car, a light structure of aluminum alloys is desired fer car body nowadays. However, fusion welding of aluminum alloys has some problems of reduction of joint efficiency, porosity formation and hot cracking. In the present work, investigation to improve the joint performance of laser welded joint has been carried out by addition of Cu, Ni, and Zr to A6NO 1 alloy welds. Aluminum alloy plate of 2.Omm in thickness with filler metal bar was welded by twin beam Nd: YAG laser facility (total power: 5kW). The filler metals were prepared by changing the chemical compositions for adding the elements into the weld metal. Thirteen filler metal bars were prepared and pre-placed into the base metal before welding. Ar gas shielding with a flow rate of 10 1/min was used. The defocusing distance is kept at 0 mm. At travel speeds off 3 to 9 and at laser power of 5kW (front beam 2kW rear beam 3kW), full penetration welds were obtained, whereas at travel speeds of 12 to 18 m/min and same power, partial penetration was observed. The joint efficiency of laser-welded joint was improved by the addition of Cu, Ni, and Zr due to the solid solution hardening, grain refining and precipitation hardening. The type of hardening has been further considered by metallurgical examination.

Aluminum alloy plate of 2.0mm in thickness with filler metal bar was welded by twin beam Nd:YAG laser facility (total power:5kW). The filler metals were prepared by changing the chemical compositions for adding the elements into the weld metal. Thirteen filler metal bars were prepared and pre-placed into the base metal before welding. Ar gas shielding with a flow rate of 10 l/min was used. The defocusing distance is kept at 0 mm. At travel speeds of 3 to 9 m/min and at laser power of 5kW (front beam 2kW rear beam 3kW), full penetration welds were obtained, whereas at travel speeds of 12 to 18 m/min and same power, partial penetration was observed.

국내 화력발전의 $CO_2$배출량을 크게 줄이고, 친환경, 그린 화력발전시스템을 위한 가장 효과적인 수단은 발전효율을 획기적으로 증대시키는 것이기 때문에 이를 목표로 한 기술개발은 경제적으로나 산업적으로 파급효과가 매우 크다. 발전효율 증대를 위한 핵심기술은 증기터빈의 성능향상이다. 현재 일본, 미국, EU 등 각국이 가장 관심을 가지고 기술개발에 심혈을 쏟고 있는 초내열, 내식 합금소재는 $700^{\circ}C$이상에서 기계적 성능을 보장할 수 있는 Ni기 합금개발이고, 현재까지 상당한 기술수준에 이르고 있는 것으로 파악되고 있다. 국내의 경우는 관련기술개발을 위해 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 기술적으로 아직 미흡한 수준이다. Ni기 초내열, 내식합금을 개발해서 그것을 화력발전용 증기터빈 부품, 특히 초내열합금 용접형 터빈로터 소재로 이용하기 위해서는 체계적이고 실용적인 연구를 통하여 용접형로타의 내구성과 신뢰성이 보장되는 최적 수준의 접합기술 개발이 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 선행연구로 $700^{\circ}C$이상 초내열/내식 Ni기 합금소재의 용접기술 개발을 위한 후보 소재 Alloy 617의 동종재료 용접 기술 개발을 목표로 한다. 본 연구는 Alloy617 12.6t 맞대기 이음으로 U그루브 내로갭 TIG용접을 하였다. 1pass 1layer 방식으로 총 8pass 8layer로 용접하였다. 전류 및 용접속도는 동일하게 두고 실드가스를 Ar 또는 Ar-$H_2$ 가스로 변경하여 시험하였다. Ar가스 TIG용접은 비드표면에 산화스케일이 생기고, 비드면이 거칠며 전체적으로 산화되었다. 반면에 Ar-$H_2$가스 TIG용접은 비드표면에 산화스케일이 없으며 표면이 미려하고 산화되지 않았다. 실드가스에 수소가스 첨가시 환원성가스로 역할을 하게 되고 이에 따라 용융지 표면에 산화피막을 제거하여 용접비드를 청정하게 하는 효과를 가진다.
