Mo 변화에 따른 Cr-Mo 강의 미세조직 및 물성병화를 알아보기 위해 새로 디자인된 용접봉을 사용하여 Flux cored arc welding(FCAW) 공정으로 용접하였다. 또한 고온에서의 용접부 물성을 알아보기 위하여 각각의 시편을 $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$, $700^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 동안 열처리 하였다. 용접부의 미세조직은 미세한 베이나이트 및 침상 페라이트로 구성되었으며 Mo의 함량이 높아질수록 베이나이트 조직이 증가하여 경도 및 강도가 증가하였다. 높은 항복강도와 인장강도를 가지며 연신율이 매우 낮음을 관찰하였다. 열처리후의 미세조직은 $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$는 템퍼드 베이나이트 조직이 나왔으나 $600^{\circ}C$에서 베이나이트 조직이 성장하였다. $700^{\circ}C$ 로 갈수록 베이나이트가 감소하고 페라이트로 미세조직이 변태 하였으며 탄화물의 석출 및 성장이 관찰되었다. 이로 인하여 경도값이 $400^{\circ}C$, $;500^{\circ}C$ 에서 증가하였고 $600^{\circ}C$는 소폭 감소하였으며 $700^{\circ}C$의 경우 완전 페라이트 조직의 형성으로 경도가 크게 감소하고 Mo 함량에 따른 경도 차이 또한 보이지 않았다.

It is well known that a considerable amount of scatter is shown in experimental results relating to fatigue crack growth even under identical and constant amplitude cyclic loading conditions. Moreover, flux cored arc welding (FCAW) is a common method used to join thick plates such as the structural members of large scale offshore structures and very large container ships. The objective of this study was to investigate the macro- and microscopic observations of the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of the FCAWed API 2W Gr. 50 steel joints typically applied for offshore structures. In order to clearly understand the randomness of the fatigue crack growth behavior in the materials of three different zones, the weld metal (WM), heat affected zone (HAZ), and base metal (BM), experimental fatigue crack growth tests for each of five specimens were performed on ASTM standard compact tension (CT) specimens under constant amplitude cyclic loading. Special focus was placed on the fatigued fracture surfaces. As a result, a different behavior was observed at the macro-level, depending on the type of material property: BM, HAZ, or WM. The variability in the fatigue crack growth rate for WM was higher than that of BM and HAZ.

Characteristics of dissimilar metal welds between alloy steel ASTM A387 Gr. 91 and carbon steel ASTM A516 Gr.70 made with Flux cored arc welding(FCAW) have been evaluated in terms of microstructure, mechanical strength, chemical analysis by EDS as well as corrosion test. Three heat inputs of 15.0, 22.5, 30.0kJ/cm were employed to make joints of dissimilar metals with E91T1-B9C wire. Post-weld heat treatment was carried out at $750^{\circ}C$ for 2.5 h. Based on microstructural examination, tempered martensite and lower bainite were formed in first layer of weld metal. The amount of tempered martensite was decreased and the amount of lower bainite was increased with increasing heat input and layer. Heat affected zone of alloy steel showed the highest hardness due to the formation of tempered Martensite and lower Bainite. Tensile strengths of dissimilar welds decreased with increasing heat inputs. Dissimilar welds seemed to have a good hot cracking resistance due to the low HCS index below 4. The salt spray test of dissimilar metals showed that the corrosion rate increased with increasing heat inputs due to the increase of the amount of lower Bainite.

Microstructural characteristics of two high strength (600 MPa & 800 MPa) weld metals produced by flux-cored arc welding process (FCAW) were evaluated. The 600 MPa grade weld metal was consisted of 75% acicular ferrite and 25% ferrite which was formed at relatively high temperature (grain boundary ferrite, widmanstatten ferrite, polygonal ferrite). However, the 800 MPa grade weld metal was composed of about 85% acicular ferrite and 15% low temperature forming phases (bainite, martensite). The prior austenite grain size of 800 MPa grade weld metal was decreased by solute drag force. The compositions and sizes of inclusions which are the dominant factors for the formation of acicular ferrite were analyzed by a transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In both 600 MPa and 800MPa grade weld metals, the inclusions were mainly consisted of Ti-oxide and Mn-oxide, and the average size of inclusions was $0.7{\mu}m$. The 800 MPa grade weld metal exhibited higher tensile strength and similar toughness compared with the 600 MPa grade weld metal. This result is mainly due to a higher fraction of low temperature products and a lower fraction of grain boundary ferrite in the 800 MPa grade weld metal.

In the present study, to estimate the mechanical properties of 800 MPa grade weld metal, welding was carried out using 800 and 600 MPa grade flux cored arc welding (FCAW) consumable and characteristics of the weld metals were investigated. The chemical composition of weld metals was investigated by an optical emission spectroscopy (OES) method. The microstructure of weld metals was analyzed by optical microscopy (OM) and secondary electron microscopy (SEM). The compositions and sizes of inclusions which are the dominant factors for the nuclei of acicular ferrite were analyzed by an transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition, mechanical properties of the weld metals were evaluated through tensile tests and charpy impact tests. Mostly the acicular ferrite phase which has high strength and toughness was observed. The 600 MPa grade weld metal was consisted of 75% acicular ferrite and 25% ferrite which was formed at high temperature (grain boundary ferrite, widmanstatten ferrite, polygonal ferrite). However, the 800 MPa grade weld metal was composed of about 73% acicular ferrite and 27% low temperature phase (bainite, martensite). Toughness was considerably decreased due to the increase of tensile strength (from 600 MPa to 800 MPa). The sizes of inclusions which were observed in both weld metal were $0.4{\sim}0.8\;{\mu}m$, it is effective size to form acicular ferrite.

AISI 316L 용접금속의 크롬/니켈 당량비에 따른 시그마상의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 응고모드가 다른 3종류의 플럭스 코어드 와이어를 제작하였다. AISI 316L 시편에 FCAW 프로세스를 적용한 용접재를 $650^{\circ}C$, $750^{\circ}C$, $850^{\circ}C$, $950^{\circ}C$에서 각 각 1H, 5H, 24H, 72H동안 열처리하였다. 크롬/니켈 당량비가 높을수록 즉, 크롬의 함량이 높아질수록 $\delta$-페라이트 함량은 증가하였으며, $\delta$-페라이트는 고온에서 시그마상으로 변태되었다. $\delta$-페라이트는 $650^{\circ}C$에서 가장 느리게 분해되었으며 $850^{\circ}C$에서 가장 활발히 분해되었다. 용접부의 특성상 크롬과 니켈 등의 합금원소에 의하여 응고온도범위가 넓어져 $950^{\circ}C$에서도 시그마상이 석출되었으며, 5시간 이상 유지 시 구형으로 존재하였다. 충격시험 시 시그마상에 의해 취약해진 inter-dendrite 를 따라 파면이 형성되었으며, $-100^{\circ}C$이하의 극저온에서는 시그마상의 양과 무관하게 충격흡수에너지는 0에 가까워졌다. 하지만 3%미만의 $\delta$-페라이트를 함유하는 AF모드에서 발생한 DDC와 미량의 시그마상은 충격흡수에너지에 결정적인 영향을 미치지 않았다.

Characteristics of dissimilar metal welds between alloy steel ASTM A387 Gr. 91 and carbon steel ASTM A516 Gr.70 made with Flux cored arc welding(FCAW) have been evaluated in terms of microstructure, mechanical strength, chemical analysis by EDS as well as corrosion test. Three heat inputs of 15.0, 22.5, 30.0kJ/cm were employed to make joints of dissimilar metals with E71T-1C wire. Post-weld heat treatment was carried out at $750^{\circ}C$ for 2.5 h. Based on microstructural examination, Intragranular polygonal ferrite and grainboundary ferrite were formed only in first layer of weld metal. Another layers consisted of acicular ferrite and $Widmannst{\ddot{a}}tten$ ferrite. The amount of acicular ferrite was increased with decreasing heat input and layer. Heat affected zone of alloy steel showed the highest hardness due to the formation of tempered martensite and lower bainite. Lower and upper bainite were formed in heat affected zone of carbon steel. Tensile strengths of dissimilar metal welds decreased with increasing heat inputs. Dissimilar metal welds showed a good hot cracking resistance due to the low HCS index below 4. The salt spray test of dissimilar metals welds showed that the weight loss rate by corrosion below 170 hours was decreased with increasing heat inputs due to the increase of the amount of acicular ferrite.

This pitting corrosion study of welded joints of austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304L and 316L) has addressed the differentiating solidification mode using three newly introduced filler wires with a flux-cored arc welding process (FCAW). The delta ferrite (${\delta}$-ferrite) content in the welded metals increased with an increasing equivalent weight ratio of chromium/nickel ($Cr_{eq}/Ni_{eq}$). Ductility dip cracking (DDC) was observed in the welded metal containing ferrite with none of AISI 304L and 0.1% of AISI 316L. The potentiodynamic anodic polarization results revealed that the $Cr_{eq}/Ni_{eq}$ ratio in a 3.5% NaCl solution didn't much affect the pitting potential ($E_{pit}$). The AISI 316L welded metals with ${\ddot{a}}$-ferrite content of over 10% had a superior $E_{pit}$ value. Though the AISI 316L welded metal with 0.1% ferrite had larger molybdenum contents than AISI 304L specimens, it showed a similar $E_{pit}$ value because the concentration of chloride ions and the corrosion product induced severe damage near the DDC.
