알루미늄합금 철도차량의 차제를 조립하기 위하여 적용하는 용접방식으로는 가스 메탈 아크용접과 가스 텅스텐 아크용접이 주로 적용되고 있다. 그러나 알루미늄합금은 강재에 비해 용접성이 불리하며, 용접결함을 제어하기 위하여 보다 엄격한 용접조건과 용접설비의 작업환경이 요구된다. 따라서 선진국을 중심으로 비 용융 고상접합 방식인 마찰교반용접(FSW)이 널리 상용화 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대형 중공형 알루미늄합금 차량에 적용되는 압출재 A6005 소재의 마찰교반용접 시 용접변수에 따른 용접부의 기계적 특성을 평가하고, 적용 공구에 대한 최적의 용접조건을 파악하고자 하였다.

해양구조물의 설치 환경 및 제품의 사용환경이 악화됨에 따라서 높은 내식성을 보이는 수퍼 이상 스테인리스강(이하: SDSS)의 사용이 많아지고 있다. 해양 구조물에 사용되는 SDSS는 대부분이 파이프자재로서 내부에서의 접근이 불가능하여 용접은 GTAW로 초층을 용접하여 이면 비드를 형성시키는 One side 용접법이 채택되고 있다. (중략)

In this work, the effect of welding variables on weldability of gas tungsten arc(GTA) welding was investigated with experimental analysis for a commercial pure(CP) titanium (Grade.1). The GTA welding tests on sheet samples with 0.5mm in thick were carried out at different process variables such as arc length, welding speed and electrode shape. In order to search an optimum arc length with full penetration, bead- on-plate welding before butt-welding were performed with different arc length conditions. From the bead- on-plate welding results, the optimum condition considering arc stability and electrode loss was obtained in the arc length of 0.8mm. Butt-welding tests based on the arc length of 0.8mm were carried out to achieve the optimum conditions of welding speed and electrode shape. Optimum conditions of welding speed and electrode shape were suggested as 10 mm/s and truncated electrode shape, respectively. It was successfully validated by the microstructural observation, tensile tests, micro-hardness tests and formability tests.

A spacer grid assembly, which is an interconnected array of slotted grid straps and is welded at the intersections to form an egg crate structure, is one of the main structural components of the nuclear fuel assembly for Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). The weld quality of spacer grids in PWRs fuel is extremely important for the fuel assembly performance in the nuclear renter. The spacer grid welds are currently evaluated mainly by the metallographic examination although it reveals only cross-points which are welded by the laser beam. This experiment is also to compare the weldability of Zircaloy-4 spacer grids using by the GTA and LB. The effect of node geometries of spacer grids for the GTAW and LBW has been studied and optimum conditions of spacer grid welding have been found. Microstructures and micro-hardness of the GTA and LB welded zones have been also compared.

Titanium and titanium alloy can be reproduced immediately even if oxide films($TiO_2$) break apart in sea water. Therefore, since titanium demonstrates large specific strength and outstanding resistance to stress corrosion cracking, crevice corrosion, pitting and microbiologically influenced corrosion in sea water environment, it has been widely applied to heat exchanger for ships. In particular, with excellent elongation, pure titanium may be deemed as optimal material for production of heat exchanger plate which is used with wrinkles formed for efficient heat exchange. Conventional plate type heat exchanger prevented leakage of liquid through insertion of gasket between plates and mechanical tightening by bolts and nuts, but in high temperature and high pressure environment, gasket deterioration and leakage occur, so heat exchanger for LPG re-liquefaction device etc do not use gasket but weld heat exchanger plate for use. On the other hand, since welded plate cannot be separated, it is important to obtain high quality reliable welds. In addition, for better workability and production performance, lasers that can obtain weldment with large aspect ratio and demonstrate fast welding speed even in atmospheric condition not in vacuum condition are used in producing products. So far, 1st report and 2nd report compared and analyzed embrittlement degrees by bead colors of weldment through quantitative analysis of oxygen and nitrogen and measurement of hardness as fundamental experiment for the evaluation of titanium laser welding, and evaluated the welding performance and mechanical properties of butt welding. This study welded specimens in various conditions by using laser and GTA welding machine to apply edge welding to heat exchanger, and evaluated the mechanical strength through tensile stress test. As a result of tensile test, laser weldment demonstrated tensile strength 4 times higher than GTA welds, and porosity could be controlled by increasing and decreasing slope of laser power at overlap area.

Alloy 617은 초고온가스로(VHTR)의 중간열교환기(IHX)의 유력한 후보 재료 중의 하나이다. $850^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 Alloy 617 용접재의 저사이클 피로 거동을 고찰하기 위하여, 완전 양진 변형률제어 피로시험이 0.6에서 1.5%의 전변형률범위에서 수행되었다. 용접재 시험편은 V-그루브 형상의 가스텅그스텐아크 용접한 용접 패드로부터 가공되었다. 피로수명은 전변형률범위가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 모든 실험조건에서 Alloy 617 용접재 시험편의 반복 응력 반응 거동은 초기 수 사이클에서 반복 변형률 경화현상을 나타내었다. 또한 모든 피로 균열의 발생과 전파는 입내파괴의 파손 모드를 보였다.

The base metal and weld metal of alloy designed austenitic stainless steels were electrochemically tested in artificial sea water. Pitting resistance of 14 different stainless steels was evaluated by measuring pitting potential. The effect of alloy element to pitting potential was evaluated by changing chromium, nickel, sulfur content. The site of pitting initiation was observed by optical microscope. As a result of electrochemical test, pitting resistance of weld metal was higher than base metal, and rapidly cooled weld metal has higher pitting potential than slowly cooled weld metal. In case of primary δ-ferrite solidification, pitting potential was increased, but residual δ-ferrite was detrimental to pitting resistance. Chromium was more effective to pitting resistance than nickel, and sulfur was very detrimental element to pitting resistance.

Feasibility study of the application of a developed annealed austenitic stainless steel at cryogenic temperature has been performed for membrane tank of LNG ship. Chemical properties of developed stainless steel are compared with a domestic commercial stainless steel and a foreign stainless steel which are used for LNG ships. Tensile properties at cryogenic temperature and fatigue strength at room temperature are measured for but and lap joints which are TIG welded specimens. Developed stainless steel having a small amount of titanium component shows the finest grain size in the HAZ, compared with the other stainless steel studied. Tensile strength, elongation and fatigue strength of the developed stainless steel are equal to those of the foreign stainless steel studied and are higher than the domestic commercial stainless steel studied.

최근에 철도의 고속화에 따라 차량의 경량화가 요구되기 때문에 알루미늄을 적용한 차량이 증가하고 있다. 알루미늄 차량의 차체는 대부분이 가스용접을 사용하였으나, 이 용접방법은 접합부의 기계적 성질이 모재에 비해 상당히 저하되는 경향이 있다. Hitachi, Bombardier 등의 철도 선진 제작사를 중심으로 가스용접에 비해 접합부의 기계적 성질이 우수한 마찰교반용접을 알루미늄 차체의 용접에 적용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 철도차량에 사용되고 있는 A6005의 알루미늄 합금 압출재에 대하여 기존의 가스 용접방법인 GMAW와 새로운 용접방법인 마찰교반용접(FSW)을 적용한 경우에 접합부의 기계적 성질을 비교 분석하여 FSW가 GMAW에 비해 기계적 성질이 우수하다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, FSW를 적용한 경우에 대해 용접 변수가 접합부의 기계적 성질에 미치는 영향을 민감도 분석을 통해 확인한 결과, 공구의 이송속도가 가장 큰 영향을 주는 용접 변수임을 알 수 있었다.
