Ferritic stainless steels, which have relatively small thermal expansion coefficient and excellent corrosion resistance, are increasingly being used in vehicle manufacturing, in order to increase the lifetime of exhaust manifold parts. But, there are limits on use because of the problem related to cosmetic resistance, corrosions of condensation and high temperature salt etc. So, Aluminum-coated stainless steel instead of ferritic stainless steel are utilized in these parts due to the improved properties. In this investigation, Al-8wt% Si alloy coated 409L ferritic stainless steel was used as the base metal during Gas Tungsten Arc(GTA) welding. The effects of coated layer on the microstructure and hardness were investigated. Full penetration was obtained, when the welding current was higher than 90A and the welding speed was lower than 0.52m/min. Grain size was the largest in fusion zone and decreased from near HAZ to base metal. As welding speed increased, grain size of fusion zone decreased, and there was no big change in HAZ. Hardness had a peak value in the fusion zone and decreased from the bond line to the base metal. The highest hardness in the fusion zone resulted from the fine re-precipitation of the coarse TiN and Ti(C, N) existed in the base metal during melting and solidification process and the presence of fine $Al_2O_3$ and $SiO_2$ formed by the migration of the elements, Al and Si, from the melted coating layer into the fusion zone.

A deposited metal specimen of ER2594 which is a super duplex steel welding wire used to investigate the effect of sigma(${\sigma}$) phase on electrochemical corrosion characteristics was prepared by gas tungsten arc welding. Aging treatment was conducted for the specimen at the temperature range of $700^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$ for 5 to 300 minutes after annealing at $1050^{\circ}C$. Corrosion current density has decreased a little with an increase of aging time over 60 minutes at $700^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$ and the uniform corrosion of deposited metal had more influence on the precipitation of ferrite than the precipitation of sigma phase. Therefore, the precipitation of sigma phase did not have much effect on the uniform corrosion. Pitting potential representing pitting corrosion has shown decreasing tendency as the precipitation of sigma phase increased. The degree of sensitization representing intergranular corrosion has shown increasing tendency as the precipitation of sigma phase increased at $700^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$, while it has decreased at $900^{\circ}C$ for 60 to 300 minutes.

Adaptive control in the robotic GMA(Gas Metal Arc) welding is employed to monitor the information about weld characteristics and process paramters as well as modification of those parameters to hold weld quality within the acceptable limits. Typical characteristics are the bead geometry composition micrrostructure appearance and process parameters which govern the quality of the final weld. The main objectives of this paper are to realize the mapping characteristicso f penetration through the learning. After learning the neural network can predict the pene-traition desired from the learning mapping characteristic. The design parameters of the neural network estimator(the number of hidden layers and the number of nodes in a layer) were chosen from an error analysis. partial-penetration single-pass bead-on-plate welds were fabricated in 12mm mild steel plates in order to verify the performance of the neural network estimator. The experimental results show that the proposed neural network estimator can predict the penetration with reasonable accuracy and gurarantee the uniform weld quality.

Currently knowledge of strain in welds has mainly been obtained form strain gaging method:; that is directly attaching most of the material to the gate. The very few non-contact method are still in the early stage. One of the non-contact methods is by the use of the laser that has high-level of the accuracy for the measurement, and this laser also has excellent characteristics on which many studies for its applications are focused throughout the many fields. The dissertation is on the measurement of the strain caused by the characteristics and the temperature changes of the TIG welded zone which is used with 3D ESPI system that is functionally modified through the laser ESPI system. This system employed the aluminum sheet-metal which are mainly used for the steel plate such as for the electronics, chemisry, food instrument and electronic appliances.

Recently, the production of oil and gas at the arctic ocean and offshore has been growing. Accordingly, S500 steel with the high tensile strength and excellent toughness has been used and flux cored wire that can be welded to the S500 has been required. In this study, we carried out observation of microstructures, mechanical properties and CTOD (crack tip openning displacement) in the weld zone that GMA (gas metal arc) welded with different component of $TiO_2$ flux core wire (the main components, rutile or Ti-slag) for S500 steel. Weld zone produced with Ti-slag flux cored wire has formed a enough acicular ferrite and shown excellent impact toughness at $-40^{\circ}C$, tensile strength at room temperature and CTOD at $-20^{\circ}C$. As a result, the developed flux cored wire was suitable for S500 steel.

본 연구에서는 LNG 저장탱크의 안전성을 확보하기 위한 연구의 일환으로서, 실제 탱크의 건설에서와 같은 조건으로 SMAW(Shielded Metal Arc Welding) 방식으로 용접된 $9\%$ Ni강의 X-개선 후판용접부내의 파괴인성의 변화를 평가하고 미세조직을 분석하였다. 이때 파괴인성의 평가는 본 연구자들이 제안한 '개선한 CTOD(crack tip opening displacement) 시험법'으로 행하였으며 열영향부내의 미세조직 및 파면은 광학현미경, 주사전자현미경 및 X-선 회절 분석기로 관찰하였다. 결과로부터 열영향부 내의 CTOD 값은, 평가위치가 용융선(Fusion Line-F.L.)으로 접근할수록 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이는 잔류 오스테나이트의 양이 줄어들고 결정립 미세화 효과가 없어지는 영역인 결정립 조대화영역이 열영향 부내에서 차지하는 분율이 증가함에 따른 것이다. 한편, 잔류 오스테나이트의 열적 안정성이 상대적으로 감소하게 되는 F.L.${\~}$F.L.+3mm에서 온도감소에 따른 인성감소의 정도가 F.L.+5mm${\~}$F.L.+7mm보다 상대적으로 매우 큼을 알 수 있었다.

Recently nickel based superalloys are extensively being regarded as the materials for the steam turbine parts for hyper super critical (HSC) power plants working at the temperature over $700^{\circ}C$, since the materials have excellent strength and corrosion resistance in high temperature. In this paper, alloy 617 of solution strengthened material and alloy 263 of ${\gamma}^{\prime}$-precipitation strengthened material were prepared as the testing materials for HSC plants each other. Post weld heat treatment (PWHT) was conducted with the gas tungsten arc (GTA) welded specimens. The microstructure of the base metals and weld metals were investigated with Electron Probe Micro-Analysis (EPMA) and Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM). The experimental results revealed that Ti-Mo carbides were formed in both of the base metals and segregation of Co and Mo in both of the weld metals before PWHT and PWHT leaded to precipitation of various carbides such as Mo carbides in the specimens. Furthermore, fine ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ particles, that were not precipitated in the specimens before PWHT, were observed in base metal as well as in the weld metal of alloy 263 after PWHT.

본 연구는 현장의 GMAW 용접기에 더블 와이어 릴을 겸비한 원격제어토치의 시스템에 관한 것이다. 산업현장 용접에서는 용접기 본체로부터 와이어 송급장치까지의 거리가 약 30m 떨어져 있고 송급장치로부터 토치까지의 거리는 약 3~5m 정도이다. 이에 따라 차량 및 탱크 내부의 용접에서 제어 패널을 볼 수 없는 곳이나 작업장이 먼 곳 등에서 용접사가 용접을 하면서 용접조건에 맞는 전류와 전압을 조절할 수가 없고 또한 용접와이어가 완전히 소모되면 용접을 중단하고 와이어 릴을 갈아 끼워야하는 번거로운 문제점이 있다. 이 때문에 전류와 전압 조절 및 와이어를 교체하기 위해 용접을 중단하고 잦은 이동으로 용접구조물의 순간적인 냉각에 의해 용접결함이 발생된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 제반 문제를 감소하기 위해 기존의 GMAW 용접기의 제반기능을 토대로 간소화 및 합리화하여 더블 와이어 릴을 겸비한 원격제어토치를 자체 제작하였다. 실험은 SM50A 용접구조용 압연강재 6mm를 사용하여 와이어 더블 릴을 겸비한 원격제어 토치와 기존 $CO_2$ /MAG 용접토치를 V형 맞대기 수직자세로 용접을 실행하였다. 용접 완료 후 용접부의 표면비드 상태의 형상을 육안검사 관찰하고 또한 이를 방사선투과검사를 통해 용접부의 내부 용접품질에 대하여 용접현상을 분석하였다. 이 연구를 통해 용접결함 감소, 원가절감 및 기존 상용용접기에 교체사용에 대한 성능 및 호환성여부에 미치는 영향에 대해 평가하였다.

Generally, the mechanical components and structures are joined by many welding techniques, and therefore the welded joints are inevitable in the construction of structures. The Alloy 617 was initially developed for high temperature applications above $800^{\circ}C$. It is often considered for use in aircraft and gas turbines, chemical manufacturing components, and power generation structures. Especially, the Alloy 617 is the primary candidate for construction of intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) on a very high temperature reactor (VHTR) system. In the present paper, the low cycle fatigue (LCF) life of Alloy 617 base metal (BM) and the gas tungsten arc welded (GTAWed) weld joints (WJ) are evaluated by using the previous experimental results under strain controlled LCF tests. The LCF tests have been performed at room temperature with total strain ranges of 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 and 1.5%. The LCF lives for the BM and WJ have been evaluated from the Coffin-Manson and strain energy based life methods. For both the BM and WJ, the LCF lives predicted by both Coffin-Manson and strain energy based life methods was found to well coincide with the experimental data.
