Recently, friction stir welding of dissimilar materials are one of the biggest issues in terms of light-weight and eco-friendly technology of the automotive, aircraft and ship industry. In this study, friction stir welding of dissimilar materials is introduced with different tool rotational speed. Materials used in experimentation consist of A357 gravity cast aluminum alloy and FB590 high-strength steel plates. Dissimilar materials of plate type are fabricated with width of 150mm, length of 300mm and thickness of 3mm and welding is carried out by the lap joint method. The correlation between probe length and mechanical properties were investigated according to rotational speed and welding speed at tool tilt angle 0 degree. Consequently, feasibility of FSWed dissimilar materials were successfully presented in case of cast aluminum and high-strength steel at lap joint method.

In this study, Hot-wire laser welding (HWLW) without keyhole which deposits filler material by feeding hot wire into the process zone has been performed to increase process performance. From the analysis of High Speed Imaging (HSI), for higher voltage, the process is prone to arc formation and drop transfer, which is disagreeable transfer mode. It is necessary that arc formation and drop (globular) transfer should be avoided by lower voltage. Therefore, continuous wire melting and transfer mode is preferred when adopting this process. The HWLW technique has high potential in terms of performance, precision, robustness and controllability for thick section of narrow gap.

On this research, laser welding technology for manufacturing automobile body is studied. Laser welding technology is one of the important technologies used in the manufacturing of lighter, safer automotive bodies at a high level of productivity; the leading automotive manufacturers have replaced spot welding with laser welding in the process of car body assembly. Korean auto manufacturers are developing and applying the laser welding technology using a high output power Nd:YAG laser and a 6-axes industrial robot. On the other hand, the robot-based remote laser welding system was equipped with a long focal laser scanner system in robotic end effect. Laser system, robot system, and scanner system are used for realizing the high speed laser welding system. The remote laser welding system and industrial robotic system are used to consist of robot-based remote laser welding system. The robot-based remote laser welding system is flexible and able to improve laser welding speed compared with traditional welding as spot welding and laser welding. The robot-based remote laser systems used in this study were Trumpf's 4kW Nd:YAG laser (HL4006D) and IPG's 1.6kW Fiber laser (YLR-1600), while the robot systems were of ABB's IRB6400R (payload:120kg) and Hyundai Heavy Industry's HX130-02 (payload:130kg). In addition, a study of quality evaluation and monitoring technology for the remote laser welding was conducted. The welding joints of steel plate and steel plate coated with zinc were butt and lapped joints. The quality testing of the laser welding was conducted by observing the shape of the beads on the plate and the cross-section of the welded parts, analyzing the results of mechanical tension test, and monitoring the plasma intensity and temperature by using UV and IR detectors. Over the past years, Trumf's 4kW Nd:YAG laser and ABB's IRB6400R robot system was used. Nowadays, the new laser source, robot and laser scanner system are used to increase the processing speed and to improve the efficiency of processes. This paper proposes the robot-based remote laser welding system as a means of resolving the limited welding speed and accuracy of conventional laser welding systems.

As the industrial technology has been developed, a dissimilar welding has been received huge attention in various engineering fields. To understand the mechanical properties and possibility of applications of dissimilar metals joining, the laser welding of Cu and Ni dissimilar metals was studied in this paper. Cu and Ni have differences in materials properties, and Cu and Ni make no intermetallic compounds according to typical binary phase of Cu and Ni system. In this study, lap welds of Cu and Ni dissimilar metals using single-mode fiber laser with high welding speed were tried, and mechanical properties of the welds zone were evaluated using a Vickers hardness test and a tensile shear test. To recognize the relation between hardness and tensile shear load, weld fusion zone of interface weld area were observed. And it was confirmed that the ultra-high welding speed could make good weld beads and higher hardness parts had higher tensile shear load under the all conditions.

The metal transfer in $CO_2$ welding shows the transition of transfer mode from short-circuiting to repelled transfer will the increase of welding current. While the short-circuiting mode in $CO_2$ welding has been studied very extensively relating with droplet formation and spatter generation, the repelled transfer has little been understood. In this study, high current $CO_2$ welding has been performed with bead-on-plate welds along with the waveform analyzer and high speed camera. The image of high speed camera was synchronized with its waveform so that the moment of spatter generation could be realized during drop detachment. As a results of this study, it was found that welding arc changes its location either once or three times and thus single or double pulse signals were developed in the voltage waveform. Whenever the arc moved its location, new arc was developed in a explosive way and thus it caused spatter generation. Specially severe spattering took place when the waveform showed a double-peak pattern. As a consequence of these results, new waveform control techniques could be suggested for suppressing the spatter generation in the high-current $CO_2$ welding.

We are in transitional period of welding technique, which has changed from the stage of quantity and quality to the stage of future technique, imported and introduced from many advanced countries. Therefore, many researches and studies for development on high speeding and making welding machines with high effectiveness has been doing vigorously. In this dissertation, I have studied on a pulsed MAG welding machine, with which welding of thin plates may perform high speeding and effecting. First, I produced a phase shifted full bridge DC-DC convert, which is the type of reduced conduction loss and the power supply for welding machine. And then, I found out an output waveform control algorithm about one pulsed one droplet and short waveform control for thin plates with high speed by deriving the circuit model utilizing the circuit averaged method for full bridge converter.

Laser beam welding is increasingly being used in welding of structural steels. The laser welding process is one of the most advanced manufacturing technologies owing to its high speed and deep penetration. The thermal cycles associated with laser welding are generally much faster than those involved in conventional arc welding processes, leading to a rather small weld zone. Experiments are performed for 304 stainless steel plates changing several process parameters such as laser power, welding speed, shielding gas flow rate, presence of surface pollution, with fixed or variable gap and misalignment between the similar and dissimilar plates, etc. The following conclusions can be drawn that laser power and welding speed have a pronounced effect on size and shape of the fusion zone. Increase in welding speed resulted in an increase in weld depth/ aspect ratio and hence a decrease in the fusion zone size. The penetration depth increased with the increase in laser power.

The results of high speed photography, acoustic emission detection and plasma UV radiation intensity measurement during CO2 laser welding of stainless steel 304 are presented. Video images with high spatial and temporal resolution allowed to observe the melt dynamics and keyhole evolution. The existence of a high speed melt flow which originated from the part of weld pool and flowed along the sides wall of keyhole was confirmed by the slag motion on the weld pool. the characteristic frequencies of flow instability and keyhole fluctuations at different welding speed were measured and compared with the results of Fourier analyses of temporal acoustic emission (AE) and light emission (LE) spectra. The experimental results were compared with the newly developed numerical model of keyhole dynamics. (The model is based on the assumption that the propagation of front part of keyhole into material is due to the melt ejection driven by laser induced surface evaporation.) The calculations predict that a high speed melt flow is induced at the front part of keyhole when the sample travel speed exceeds several 10mm/s. The numerical analysis also shows the hump formation on the front keyhole wall surface. Experimentally observed melt behavior and transformation of the AE and LE spectra with variation of welding speed are qualitatively in good agreement with the model predictions.
