Pulse TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding is often considered the most difficult of all the welding processes commonly used in industry. Because the welder must maintain a short arc length, great care and skill are required to prevent contact between the electrode and the workpiece. Pulse TIG welding is most commonly used to weld thin sections of stainless steel, non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, magnesium and copper alloys. It is significantly slower than most other welding techniques and comparatively more complex and difficult to master as it requires greater welder dexterity than MIG or stick welding. The problems associated with manual TIG welding includes undercutting, tungsten inclusions, porosity, Heat affected zone cracks and also the adverse effect on health of welding gun operator due to amount of tungsten fumes produced during the welding process. This brings the necessity of automation. Hence, In this paper an attempt has been made to build a customerized setup of Pulse TIG welding based on through review of Pulse TIG welding parameters. The cost associated for making automated TIG is found to be low as compared to SPM (Special Purpose machines) available in the market.

In this study, API-X100 steel pipes were welded with various kinds of welding wires in the laser-arc hybrid welding process. 10kW fiber laser source was combined to MIG arc welding process. API X-100 steel of base metal was of 16.9mm thickness, and butt welding applied. After welding, full penetration weld was acquired by 1-pass welding. A root porosity and the lack of fusion was observed in some welding conditions. By the mixing the melted wire, acicular ferrite, polygonal ferrite, pro-eutectoid, aligned side plate, and bainite structures were observed at the weld metal. From the observation of hybrid weld, unmixed zone had more Ni and Cr. The unmixed zone was a 1/3 area of the weld metal. As the mechanical test of the hybrid welding, tensile test and impact test applied. From the tensile test, all of the welding except SM70S was fractured at the base metal. The result of the impact test at -30 degree C led 60J~320J of the absorbed energy. The result of the low-absorbed energy might be from the coarse equiaxed structures of the weld metal.

손상된 ASTM A-470 class 8 고압 증기 터어빈 로터강의 수명 연장을 위해 보수 용접이 행하여졌다. SAW 용접부의 미세경도 측정결과 모재의 경도는 VHN 253이었으나 모재에 근접한 열영향부의 경도는 VHN 227로 떨어졌다. 이와 같이 경도가 떨어진 영역을 "연화층"이라 정의하였으며 약 0.5-0.6mm의 크기를 나타내었다. 한편 크립 파단 시험시 파괴는 연화층 부근에서 일어났으며 593.deg. C와 19Ksi(132 Mpa)에서 파단시간은 772.4hr이었다. 연화층의 크기를 줄이기 위해서 MIG 및 TIG 용접이 행하여졌는데 연화층 크기는 MIG의 경우 0.3-0.4mm이고, TIG의 경우에는 입열량의 크기에 따라 0부터 0.4mm의 크기를 나타내었다. 그러나 크립 파단시간은 연화층 크기가 작아질수록 감소하였다. 특히 TIG 용접부의 경우 크립 파단시간은 입열량과 밀접한 관계를 나타내었는데 입열량이 클수록 파단시간은 길어졌다. 대부분의 파괴는 ICHAZ에서 발생되었으나 입열량이 감소함에 따라 파단부는 CGHAZ으로 이동하였다. 파단면은 tearing과 dimple을 갖는 입내파괴를 나타내었다.파괴를 나타내었다.

As demand regarding a recent energy-saving rises, the using ratio of the aluminum plate in manufacturing of a railroad vehicle has been increasing. The aluminum structure to be applied to a railroad vehicle is divided to single skin and double skin, and the main aluminum product is mainly Al 6005 extrude and Al 5083 rolled in domestic market. The Al 6005 alloy is applied heat treatment in order to improve the strength of material. Therefore there is the disadvantage that the strength of welding zone decreases compare with base material's if you apply to fusion welding like MIG(metal inert gas) welding. In this paper we tried to apply friction stir welding to solve these problems. In this study we investigated how tensile strength and fatigue strength were changed in case of changing the shoulder diameter of thread tool.

본 연구에서는 일반적으로 용접기의 전원장치로 사용되어지는 풀-브리지 회로에 2개의 스위치와 2개의 무손실 스너버 부분 공진 커패시터, 2개의 다이오드로 구성된 간단한 액티브 보조 부분 공진 스너버를 추가한 새로운 하프 브리지 소프트 스위칭 PWM DC-DC 컨버터를 제안하였다. 제안한 하프 브리지 소프트 스위칭 DC-DC 컨버터 회로는 기존 회로의 DC 버스라인 스위치에 발생되는 도통 손실을 저감하여 고주파 변압기의 1차측의 전류가 2차측보다 작아지는 저 전압, 대전류 직류출력을 얻어 수 있었다. 그리고, 모든 영역에서 ZCS/ZVS 동작하므로써 저전압, 대전류 직류 출력의 스위칭 전원 장치에 있어 고주파, 고효율, 고출력을 실현할 수 있다. 이러한 모든 사항은 시뮬레이션과 실험 결과로부터 도출하였으며, 제안한 회로의 단점을 보완할 경우에는 차세대형 TIG MIG MAG 아크 용접기용 전원으로 용이할 것으로 판단된다.

Characteristics of two correcting methods, a new Autogeneous GTAW heating (TIG) method and the conventional GMAW bead-on plate welding(MIG) method, for distorted aluminum fabrication structures were studied. As a result of microscopic study of Autogeneous GTAW heating and GMAW bead-on plate welding areas, porosities in weld metal and surface cracks in local heating zone were found. Through the mechanical tests, it was verified that porosities decrease tensile strength and surface of distortion, angular displacement and transeverse shrinkage were measures and compared. In order to investigate changes of material properties in heating area and cause of defects such thermal stresses were calculated by ADINA. Through the computations of transient thermal stresses and microscopic observation of fracture surface, thermal stress was found to be the cause of crack during Autogeneous GTAW heating.

The electric arc welding machine with high-frequency inverter is studied in this paper which could make more saving in energy than conventional ones with inherent low efficiency. The inverter circuit has been already adopted to special welding machines such as MIG and TIG for improving operating performances so much. But this adoption has not be applied to conventional ac arc welding machine until now. The proposed technology for higher efficiency is to apply the high frequency inverter, together with noise-cut transformer. Overall output characteristics are investigated in aspect of cost and circuit performance. The proposed system is conducted practical experiments using PWM controller.

Recently many studies for improvement of productivity and automation of process are in progress, and among others, laser-arc hybrid welding that combined laser and arc has attracted much attention. Since parameters by interactions as well as the parameters of each heat source should be considered, There are a lot of hardship in actual application, even though many researches have been done so far. Therefore in this study, bead welding was done to examine the effects of the flow rate of shield gas and the distance between laser and arc during laser-arc hybrid welding. As for hybrid heat source, disk laser and MIG were used. As experiment result, sound bead and weld with no defect were formed when the flow rate of front and rear shield gas were respectively 20 l/min and 15 l/min, and deep penetration was done at DLA=3 mm.

Recently many research are going on in the field of application of Laser and Laser-Arc hybrid welding for superstructures such as ship-structures, transport vehicles etc. Therefore in this study an optimized welding condition and numerical simulation for hybrid welding by using previous numerical analysis which is used to calculate the heat source for Laser and Laser-Arc hybrid welding has been analyzed. For this purpose, fundamental welding phenomena of hybrid process(Laser+MIG) are determined based on the experiments. In order to calculate temperature and residual stress distribution in Laser and Laser-Arc hybrid welds, finite element heat source model is developed on the basis of experiment results and characteristics of temperature and residual stress distribution in Laser and Laser-Arc hybrid welds are understood from the result of simulation and found comparable to the experimental values.

The flow of the molten drop in the GMAW was observed to explain the mechanism of its formation and break-up process. Fluid flew analysis was made with the assumption that the electrode wire acts like fluid, and it is shown how the convection of the drop inside affects its flow, from the formation to the break-up of the drop. In later part, the process of the spray mode development at high current is shown, as well as the one of the globular mode, by the fluid flow analysis.
