FCAW(Flux Cored Arc Welding), SAW(Submerged Arc Welding), EGW(Electro Gas Welding), and three-pole SAW are applicable in manufacturing the offshore wind tower. In this paper, mechanical properties of these welded-joints for TMCP steels were evaluated in all above welding processes. The tensile strength of welded-joints for all the welding methods satisfied the standard guideline (KS D 3515). No cracking on weldment was found after the bending test. Changes of weldedments hardness with welding processes were observed. In a weld HAZ (heat-affected zone), a softened HAZ-zone was formed with high heat input welding processes (SAW and EGW). However, the welded-joint fractures were found in the base metal for all cases and small decrease in welded-joint strength was caused by a softened zone. The multi-pole SAW welds exhibited similar mechanical properties comparing to the one with one-pole SAW process.

This paper has an aim to evaluate microstructure and fracture toughness of TMCP steel weldment applied for off-shore wind tower with the focus on the effect of heat input on the weldment with various welding processes; FCAW(13kJ/cm and 30kJ/cm), SAW(62kJ/cm), and EGW(177kJ/cm). Based on experimental results developed from this study, it was found that the impact toughness of top side for TMCP steel weldments with heat input up to 62 kJ/cm satisfied the required minimum value except the EGW(177kJ/cm). The heat input and microstructure are the main factors of impact toughness. The heat input of 13kJ/cm on back side with low heat input increased the amount of grain boundary ferrite which has low impact toughness, and heat input of 177kJ/cm on top side is significant enough to produce the austenite grain growth. The compositions and sizes of inclusions which are the dominant factors for the formation of acicular ferrite were analyzed by OM and EDS. As the heat input increased, the inclusions also grew and a nucleation site decreased. The size of nonmetallic inclusions and the crack width was nearly similar, therefore the inclusions were related with the crack propagation.

플럭스 코어 아크 용접(flux cored arc welding, FCAW)에서 플럭스(flux)로 사용되는 합금 분말 내의 염소이온은 용접 금속의 비드 표면에 기공을 유발하여 불량을 유발하거나, 합금 분말에 잔류한 염소가 금속의 부식을 유발할 수 있다. 합금 분말의 염소이온 정량은 주로 연소-이온크로마토그래피법이 사용되나, 장비가 고가이며 고도의 전문성이 요구되는 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 합금 분말의 염소이온 정량으로 주로 쓰이는 방법인 연소-이온크로마토그래피 법과 X-선 형광분석법, 그리고 전위차 적정법을 비교하여 현장에서 적용하기 쉽고 정확한 정량법을 찾고자 한다. 염소이온 정량의 대상으로는 플럭스로 가장 흔히 사용되는 마그네슘-알루미늄 합금 분말을 대상으로 한다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해, 전위차 적정법을 현장에서 합금 분말의 염소이온 정량에 적용할 수 있다.

This paper is to evaluate fracture characteristics of API 2W Gr.50 TMCP steel weldment typically applied for offshore structures, with the focus on the influence of heat input arising from flux cored arc welding. Based on the results and insights developed from this study, it is found that the toughness for both CTOD and impact exhibits a tendency to decrease as the weld heat input increases. The reheated zone of weldmetal exhibit lower hardness than solidified zone and microstructure that are liable to affect the toughness are acicular ferrite and martensite-austenite constituents (M-A). In particular, M-A is a more effective micro-phase for CTOD toughness than impact toughness.

A number of health hazards are generated in welding processes. In this paper, the characteristics of fumes and some other hazardous agents in welding are reviewed. Fumes in welding are generated by complex mechanism like physical ejection of particles, oxidation-enhanced vaporization, vaporization-condensation-oxidation, and spatter contribution. Fume generation rates could be described as a power function in a given process. Most of fume constituents was originated from consumables rather than base metal. The mass distribution for the welding fumes is unimodal and very small to penetrate respiratory system. So, almost fractions of fumes are classified into the respirable particulate mass. Total chromium contents in FCAW were similar to those from SMAW whereas hexavalent chromium concentrations in fume were similar to those produced from MIG welding fume. Hexavalent chromium was mostly soluble which was similar to the characteristic solubility of fume hexavalent chromium from SMAW.

Vibration occurs due to the wind and vehicles, etc., in the field welded joints of steel bridges. However, the effect of vibration on the fatigue strength of field welded joints in steel bridge are not yet clearly understood. In this paper, the effect of vibration on the fatigue strength of welded joints was elucidated in order to improve reliability in the field welded joints of steel bridge. The base material used in this investigation was SM 490A steel of weldable grade. Flux Cored Arc Welding(FCAW) process was used to fabricate the doubte 'V' butt joints. Welding was performed on the steel under the mechanical vibration of given frequency. The applied frequency was resonant frequency. Also, weldments formed under no vibration were fabricated. Fatigue tests were conducted using a servo hydraulic controlled 50ton1 capacity UTM with a frequency of 5Hz under constant amplitude loading.

A brief overview is given of the development of various structural steels and their welding application technology. Firstly, the general characteristics and welding performance of structural steels used in architecture and bridge are introduced. For safety against earthquakes or strong wind, and for highly efficient welding in high-rise building constructions, ultra high strength steel with tensile strength over 800 MPa or high HAZ toughness steel plates under high heat input welding have been developed. In particular, efficient welding technology ensuring high resistance to cold and hot cracking of ultra high strength steel is reviewed in the present paper. Secondly, various coated steels used mainly for outer part in construction are briefly discussed. Moreover, a major drawback of coated steel during welding operation, and several solutions to overcome such technical problem are proposed. It is hoped that this review paper can lead to significant academic contributions and provide readers interested in the structural steels with useful welding technology.

An arc sensor for seam tracking is developed to automate sub-assembly welding in shipbuilding. We utilize a moving average method, which produces an effect of low-pass filter, to generate the position compensation. Therefore the sensor is able to modify the path of the weld seam in real time. By simplifying the compension process, the tunning time is reduced so that operators react quickly. It turns out that this sensor is highly reliable and it is installed and being used in SHI Keoje shipbuilding yard.

In this paper, a study on the residual stress of plate with longitudinal stiffeners is explained in terms of the welding sequences. In order to verify the results of numerical analysis, the hole drilling method (HDM) is performed, to measuring the residual stresses of the test plates in $CO_2$ Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) under various welding conditions. The non-linear transient analysis technique for the numerical analysis in a large and complicate structure is considered. The residual stress of plate in consideration of the welding sequences and directions is evaluated by some numerical simulations and also by experiments. Comparison of numerical analysis results with experimental data shows the accuracy and validity of the proposed method.

선박건조에 있어서 대형 블록의 조립이 이루어지는 선행 탑재 및 탑재 단계에서 Tank Top과 Upper Deck의 V 개선 용접은 FCAW+SAW의 복합용접이 실시되고 있다. 그러나 가장 범용적 모재 두께인 18~20t의 경우 SAW 시공에만 약 5~6Pass가 소요됨으로써 다급한 진수 일정에 많은 지장을 초래하고 있다. 또한 능률 향상을 목적으로 용착량 증가효과를 얻기 위해 철분말이나 절선와이어를 개선면내에 충진하고 용접을 수행하나 획기적인 용접능률을 기대하기 어렵고 용접사 기량에 따라 용접 결함이 발생될 수 있다. 이에 따라 용접패스 수를 줄이고 결함 발생이 없는 용접기법 개발이 절실히 필요하였다. 이를 위해 매우 간단하고 효율적인 위빙장치를 제작하여 선탑/탑재 아래보기 용접이음에 1~2패스의 SAW 용접법을 개발하여 용접생산성은 물론 용접품질까지 획기적으로 향상시키는 기술 개발을 완료하였다.
