The microstructure and electrochemical analysis of welds of electric resistance welding(ERW) pipe were investigated. The direction of metal flow line in HAZ of ERW pipe shifted to the inner(or outer) surface of pipe by plastic deformation during welding. The lowest heat input welds of ERW pipe was showed crack by liquid penetrant testing. Accelerated corrosion test by constant current density of 20mA/$cm^{2}$ developed groove at the welds of ERW pipe and the measured grooving factors were about $1.2{\sim}1.5$. Corrosion potential of base metal obtained by cyclic polarization in artificial sea water(3.5wt.% NaCl solution) was 100mV higher than that of weld metal of ERW pipe.

강관은 물, 유류, 천연 가스 등을 운송하는 배관용 및 건물의 골조, 유압 및 공압 실린더, 가이드 레일 등 의 기계적 부품으로도 널리 사용되기도 한다. 이렇게 사용되는 강관의 70% 이상은 고주파 전기저항용접(High Frequency Electrical Resistance Welding,이하 ERW)으로 제조되고 있다. 아파트 등 실제 현장에서 ERW 강관에 흐르는 유체는 비드가 제거된 내면 부위에서 와류 (vortex)를 일으켜 기계적 침식(erosion)을 수반할 가능성이 있으며, 수격현상으로 인해 부식 부위에서 반복피로 하중을 받아 부식의 전파속도가 증가되어 최종적 으로 파손되는 경우도 예상할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 입열량을 달리하여 제조된 ERW 강관을 대상으로 강관 내부에서의 유속에 따라 홈부식 감수성에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 실제 사용 환경을 모사할 수 있는 장치를 제작하고 경계 조건을 선정하여 실험을 실시하였다. ERW 강관의 내부에서 유속이 빨라질 경우 부식속도는 증가를 하였고, 입열을 많이 받은 강관의 경우 부식속도가 감소하는 경향을 가졌다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 하여 ERW 강관에서 발생하고 있는 결함발생에 의한 피해를 극소화시킴으로서 안전하고 효율적인 관리에 기여하고자 한다.

Active oxygen species or free radicals are considered to cause extensive oxidative damage to biological macromolecules, which brings about a variety of diseases as well as aging. Electrolyzed reduced water(ERW) has been regarded as a ideal antioxidative agent in recent years. ERW is produced by passing a diluted salt solution through an electrolytic cell, within which the anode and cathode are separated by membrane. It can be produced reactive materials in ERW near the cathode during the electrolysis of water. ERW have the following advantages over other traditional cleaning agents: effective antioxidative agent, easy preparation, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly. The main advantage of ERW is its safety and antioxidative effect. ERW with strong reducing potential can be used to remove dirt and grease from items such as cutting boards and other kitchen utensils. The primary aim of this study is the activation mechanism of oxidation reduction potentials, ion conductivity, pH, and electrochemical properties with reactive materials in ERW.

본 고에서는 배관 재료일반과 용접공정에 대해 ERW강관을 중심으로 알아보았다. 국내 가스배관에서 ERW강관이 사용되는 것은 외경 24인치 이하 배관이며 그 이상 크기의 배관에서는 SAW강관이 사용된다. 배관의 안전성 및 건전성 확보를 위하여 가장 주의를 가지고 평가해야 할 대상은 손상 및 결함의 발생 비율이 가장 높은 심용접부 및 원주용접부 이다. 이들 배관 용접부의 건전성 확보를 위해서는 모재와는 다른 특성을 지닌 용접부위에서 다양한 금속학적, 역학적 인자들의 영향에 대한 정확한 분석과 평가를 실시하여야 한다. 용접부위 품질확보는 가스배관의 안전과 안정적운용에 반드시 필요한 부분이다.

Electrical resistance welded steel pipes showed leakage failure within 5 years usage. Microstructural analysis and hardness test were carried out, whose results gave no evidences about the reason of failure. For the analysis, 3 kinds of ERW pipes with different heat inputs were produced. Microstructural differences according to the different heat inputs were detected. Differences of the amount of inclusion in the weld line were observed. It is concluded that the difference of heat input during ERW pipe production caused the microstructural changes which resulted in the leakage failure.

A pressure reversal is where ERW pipes fail at an applied pressure lower than one experienced previously. The susceptibility to pressure reversals of ERW joints has been investigated by varying heat input in the range of 230-268㎾ power and seam annealing temperature of 850-970$^{\circ}C$. The application of repeated loading to notched three point bend specimens was used in this study. There was no occurrence of reversals in all the condition investigated. Furthermore, the bond line ductility is found to be satisfactory. These results can be explained by the fact that a bond line free from defects is successfully obtained from a wide range of ERW conditions.

Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) process is the most efficient process to manufacture the linepipe. To develop the high performance ERW linepipe using the high strength and the high alloy steels, the modulation of input power waveform such as sinusoidal waveform is introduced because the conventional ERW technology is not sufficient enough to produce the high quality linepipe due to its strength and high alloy contents (high Ceq). In this article, the material used for the experiment was API X60 with 8.2mm thickness, and ERW simulator at POSCO was used to develop a waveform control system for the power modulation. The frequency of power modulation was varied from 50Hz to 150Hz with the fixed amplitude of ${\pm}2%$ power. The non-modulated power input and the modulated power input cases are conducted to demonstrate the variation of the narrow gap length and the arcing frequency due to power modulation. From results of the non-modulated power input case, the excessive power causes the longer narrow gap length and the low arcing frequency due to the large heat input and the strong electro magnetic force that increase the weld defect. On the contrary, the small narrow gap length and the high arcing frequency reduce the weld defect. After modulating the power input with 50Hz and 100Hz at the fixed power, the arcing frequency increases, but the narrow gap length does not change much. The high arcing frequency prevents the formation of weld defect because the sweeping frequently cleans the oxides on the narrow gap edges. As a result, the manufacturing window can be expanded by the power modulation that provides the stable ERW process for the quality improvement of the linepipe made from the high strength/high alloy steels.

Although leakage at a low carbon steel pipe made by electrical resistance welding (ERW) was reported due to grooving corrosion, the cause for the corrosion has not yet been cleared. In order to clarify the main cause, failure analysis on the leaked pipe was carried out, followed by metallographic investigation and corrosion test for the various ERW pipe made with different welding heat input. The microstructure, particularly inclusion content, of the weldment is dependant on the welding heat input applied. For an improper low heat input, the amount of inclusion at the weld was high. High inclusion content accelerated grooving corrosion at the weld. It is therefore that welding heat input should be controlled based on the carbon content of the pipe in order to improve the corrosion resistance of the ERW pipe.
