Metal Transfer in gas metal arc (GMA) welding is a complex phenomenon affected by many parameters of the welding conditions and material properties. In this research, the correlation equation between the welding condition and detaching droplet size and detaching velocity in GMA welding was studied via recession analysis on the results of numerical analysis using the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method. Welding parameters and material properties were grouped into three dimensionless numbers and detaching droplet size was expressed as the function of them. Second order and exponential multi-variable correlation forms were assumed, and the coefficients of these equations were calculated for globular and spray modes as well as entire transfer modes. Applying correlation equation into available experimental data, it shows good agreement.

The application of SS400 carbon steel and AISI430 ferritic stainless steel joint has been increased in industries because of the advantage of both metals was able to increase the service lifetime of the important structures. Therefore, a fusion welding process that could produce a sound weld and good joint properties should be optimized. This research is aimed to weld a butt joint of SS400 carbon steel and AISI430 ferritic stainless steel using Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) welding process and to study the effects of welding parameters on joint properties. The experimental results were concluded as follows. The optimized welding parameter that produced the tensile strength of 448 MPa was the welding current of 110A, the welding speed of 400 mm/min and the mixed gas of $80%Ar+20%CO_2$. Increase of the welding current affected to increase and decrease the tensile strength of the joint, respectively. Lower welding current produced the incomplete bonding of the metals and indicated the low tensile strength. Microstructure investigation of the welded joint showed a columnar grain in the weld metal and a coarse grain in the heat affected zone (HAZ). The unknown hard precipitated phases were also found at the grain boundaries of the weld metal and HAZ. The hardness profile did not show the difference of the hardness on the joint that was welded by various welding currents but the hardness of the weld metal was higher than that of the other location.

Electromagnetic force is one of the most important factor that effect on metal transfer mode, short-circuit rate, spatter generation rate and mechanical properties of weld metal etc. Also, shielding gas and welding current have influence on metal transfer mode in GMAW. In this paper, different ways for external electromagnetic forces are applied by attaching cylindrically rounded conducting wire solenoid on touch tip holding. With the applied electromagnetic field, the arc transfer mode changes from normal mode to rotating mode and spatter generation decreased in electromagnetic fields(N-pole). In MIG welding, the influences of electromagnetic force on the spatter generation showed different tendency as in the $CO_2$ welding. It is possible reasons were discussed.

Dynamics of molten drop detachment in the Gas Metal Arc (GMA) welding is investigated using the Volume of Fluid(VOF) method. The electromagnetic effects are included in the formulation of the VOF method which has been widely used to analyze the dynamics of the fluid having a free surface. The molten drop geometry, pressure and velocity profiles within the drop are calculated numerically in the cases of globular and spray transfer modes. It appears that the velocity and current distribution affect metal detachment. It is found that the taper is formed and maintained during the spray transfer by the electromagnetic force. Predicted results show reasonably good agreement with the available experimental data which validates the application of the VOF method to metal transfer analysis.

일반적으로 용접 Root 캡은 여러 가지 용접 결함들 중에 용접 품질을 저하시키는 중요한 요인 중의 하나이다. Gas metal arc welding (GMAW)에서 root 갭은 용접 전류, 아크 전압, 용적률 등과 같은 여러 가지 용접 파라미터들에 영향을 미친다. 그러나 용접 공정의 비선형성 때문에 root 갭과 많은 용접 파라미터들 사이의 관계를 분석하기가 힘들다. 그리고 아크센서를 사용하였을 경우, 감지된 신호에 대한 신호처리가 어렵지만 가격이 저렴하고 자동화하기가 쉬우므로 현재의 산업공정에서 대부분 아크센서가 사용되고 있다. 지금까지 언급된 여러 가지 어려운 문제점과 아크센서의 특정 때문에 본 논문에서는 GMAW에서 root 갭을 검출할 수 있는 적당한 용접 파라미터들을 선정하고, root 캡과 선정된 파라미터들의 관계를 인식할 수 있는 신경회로망을 이용하여 root 갭 검출 시스템을 설계하였다. 또한, 용접 품질의 검사에 용접 비드형상이 중요한 요인이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 신경회로망으로 용접 파라미터와 용접 비드형상과의 관계를 인식하여, 용접 품질을 추정하고 용접 파라미터들의 효과를 분석할 수 있는 용접 비드 형상의 실시간 모니터링 시스템을 제안하여 여러 실험 데이터들을 기반으로 한 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 시스템이 root 갭을 검출하고 또한 용접 비드 형상을 실시간으로 모니터링이 가능함 보여준다.

Recently just as in the automobile industry, shipbuilders also try to reduce material consumption and weight in order to keep operating costs as low as possible and improve the speed of production. Naturally industry is ever searching for welding techniques offering higher power, higher productivity and a better quality. Therefore it is important to have a details research based on the various welding process applied to steel and other materials, and to have the ability both to counsel interested companies and to evaluate the feasibility of implementation of this process. Submerged-arc welding (SAW) process is usually used about 20% of shipbuilding. Similar to gas metal arc welding(GMAW), SAW involves formation of an arc between a continuously-fed bare wire electrode and the work-piece. The process uses a flux to generate protective gases and slag, and to add alloying elements to the weld pool and a shielding gas is not required. Prior to welding, a thin layer of flux powder is placed on the work-piece surface. The arc moves along the joint line and as it does so, excess flux is recycled via a hopper. Remaining fused slag layers can be easily removed after welding. As the arc is completely covered by the flux layer, heat loss is extremely low. This produces a thermal efficiency as high as 60% (compared with 25% for manual metal arc). SAW process offers many advantages compared to conventional CO2 welding process. The main advantages of SAW are higher welding speed, facility of workers, less deformation and better than bead shape & strength of welded joint because there is no visible arc light, welding is spatter-free, fully-mechanized or automatic process, high travel speed, and depth of penetration and chemical composition of the deposited weld metal. However it is difficult to application of thin plate according to high heat input. So this paper has been focused on application of the field according to SAW process for thin plate in ship-structures. For this purpose, It has been decided to optimized welding condition by experiments, relationship between welding parameters and bead shapes, mechanical test such as tensile and bending. Also finite element(FE) based numerical comparison of thermal history and welding residual stress in A-grade 3.2 thickness steel of SAW been made in this study. From the result of this study, It makes substantial saving of time and manufacturing cost and raises the quality of product.

The static force balance model (SFBM) has been used to analyze drop transfer in gas metal arc welding. Although the SFBM is capable of predicting the detaching drop size in the globular mode with reasonable accuracy, discrepancy between the calculated and experimental results increases with current. In order to reduce discrepancy, the SFBM is modified by considering the momentum of the molten metal flow, which is generated by the pinch pressure. The momentum increases with smaller drop size and becomes compatible to the electromagnetic force. The modified force balance model (MFBM) predicts the experimental results more accurately, and extends its application to the projected mode.
