  • The effects of welding parameters such as contact tip-to-work distance (CTWD), voltage, and current on the weld metal diffusible hydrogen contents (HD) were investigated and rationalized by the calculation of heating time and amount of heat generated in the extension length of flux cored wire. As CTWD increased from 15 to 25mm, HD decreased from 8.46 to 5.45mL/100g deposited metal. Calculations showed that, with an increase of CTWD, the amount of heat generated increased from 46 to 92J in addition to an increase of heating time. Increase of current from 250 to 320A, however, gave little variation of HD. It showed that no significant change in the amount of heat generated was found, and heating time was decreased with an increase of current. It also showed that CTWD is more influential than voltage in relatively lower heat input ranges, while voltage is more in higher input ranges

  • 최근 건축용 강구조물이 초대형화 및 초고층화됨에 따라 용접물량의 급증하고 있으나 3D 직종에 대한 회피현상으로 용접기능자의 감소 및 인건비의 급증 등으로 인하여 건축용 강 구조물 제작시 경쟁력이 갈수록 저하되고 있다. 이에 대한 자구책으로 강 구조물 제작업체에서는 생산 성을 한층 배가 시킬 수 잇는 용접시공 기술을 자체 개발하거나 외부로부터 도입하고 있다. 본 보에서는 당사를 비롯하여 여러 업체에서 최근 개발된 용접기술 특히 대전류 SAW 기법, SESNET 기법 등의 초대입열 용접기술, Metal cored wire나 TIME 기법에 의한 고능률 GMAW 기법 및 Robot 용접 등에 대하여 간략히 기술하였다. 이 용접기술들의 적용에는 대개 고가의 시설투자가 수반되나, 이는 생산성 증가에 따른 원가절감으로 충분히 상쇄될 수 있다. 그러나 상기된 용접기술들의 적용에 대한 성패는 용접장비의 특성, 용접조건의 확립, 모재의 특성 혹은 주변 자동화 기술 및 상호 종속적인 관계에 크게 의존된다. 따라서 가 강 구조물 제작업체에서는 세심한 주위환경 분석을 토대로 각 업체에 가장 합당한 용접기술을 선정 및 적용하여야 하겠다.

  • FCAW(Flux Cored Arc Welding) is a widely used welding method in shipbuilding. It also conducts WPS(Welding Procedure Specification) requested by the classification variations of the factors which affect the quality on the welded area such as thickness of base metal, type of welding wire and shielding gas etc. which has to be satisfied. CO2 is commonly used as a shielding gas for FCAW due to the economic point of view. The amount of shielding gas is stated when classification certify WPS. However, the shielding gas is unnecessarily used at the shipyard leaning only on the welder's experience as there are classification standards for using the shielding gas. It causes production cost to rise. Also recently, CO2 is a main contributor for global warming, and large amounts of CO2 are discharged into the atmosphere during shipbuilding processes without any filtration. Therefore it was confirmed by the security of the welded area as a result of conducting the destructive and non-destructive tests with setting up the factors and the standards by using the Taguchi method. Then the FCAW shielding gas's amounts were calculated precisely when assembling a ship. It will be applied to cost reduction and prevention of environmental pollution at the shipyard.

  • Characteristics of dissimilar metal welds between alloy steel ASTM A387 Gr. 91 and carbon steel ASTM A516 Gr.70 made with Flux cored arc welding(FCAW) have been evaluated in terms of microstructure, mechanical strength, chemical analysis by EDS as well as corrosion test. Three heat inputs of 15.0, 22.5, 30.0kJ/cm were employed to make joints of dissimilar metals with E71T-1C wire. Post-weld heat treatment was carried out at $750^{\circ}C$ for 2.5 h. Based on microstructural examination, Intragranular polygonal ferrite and grainboundary ferrite were formed only in first layer of weld metal. Another layers consisted of acicular ferrite and $Widmannst{\ddot{a}}tten$ ferrite. The amount of acicular ferrite was increased with decreasing heat input and layer. Heat affected zone of alloy steel showed the highest hardness due to the formation of tempered martensite and lower bainite. Lower and upper bainite were formed in heat affected zone of carbon steel. Tensile strengths of dissimilar metal welds decreased with increasing heat inputs. Dissimilar metal welds showed a good hot cracking resistance due to the low HCS index below 4. The salt spray test of dissimilar metals welds showed that the weight loss rate by corrosion below 170 hours was decreased with increasing heat inputs due to the increase of the amount of acicular ferrite.

  • The $CO_2$ welding with 100% $CO_2$ gas is commonly used because of its cost and efficiency. Arc phenomena and spattering ratio of the $CO_2$ welding are influenced by various factors such as chemical compositions of welding wire, shielding gas, welding condition and welding power source etc.. Spattering ratio is predominantly influenced by the welding condition which determines a droplet transfer rode. In this study, arc phenomena and spattering ratio are investigated by using two type of FCW(titania type, semi-metal type). Then, the welding quality and optimum welding condition can be selected. From this study, the following results ware obtained; 1) In low current range(140A), FCW up to welding voltage(22V) resulted in a typical short circuit transfer, increase of spattering ratio and growth of spatter diameter. 2) In high current range(320A), the arc stability in titania FCW of a typical globular transfer is better than that of semi-metal FCW.
