This study was aimed to evaluate the quality of flash welded joints and optimize the welding process for flash butt welding of 780MPa grade high strength steel. And then the relationship between the welding process variables and the joint quality would be established. The effect of process variables between flashing and upsetting process was elucidated. Microstructure observation of the joint indicated that the decarburized band was mainly changed with upsetting process. Width of HAZ was also related to the upsetting conditions rather than the flashing conditions. Generally maximum hardness at HAZ was correlated with Ceq of steel and the empirical relationship was obtained to estimate the HAZ properties. Tensile elongation at the joint was usually decreased with increasing the initial clamping distance. Investigation of fracture surface after tensile and bending tests reveal that the origin of cracking at the joint was oxide inclusions composed of $SiO_2$, MnO, $Al_2O_3$, and/or FeO. The amount of inclusions was dependent on the composition ratio of Mn/Si in steel. If this ratio was above 4, the amount of inclusions was low and then the resistance to cracking at the joint was enough to maintain the joint performance. It was obtained that the flashing process influenced the conditions for the energy input to establish uniform or non­uniform molten layer, while the upsetting conditions influenced the joint strength. Heat input variable during flashing process was also discussed with the joint properties.

Ir-192 source is one of the most widely used radioisotopes in the field of non-destructive testing applications. To obtain radiation safety it is necessary to take into consideration integrity of welded joint in the production of sealed radiation source. Generally, the quality of a resistance welded joint is strongly influenced by process parameters during the welding process such as current, welding time and applied force. In this study, resistance welding technology and system were developed for sealing of Ir-192 industrial radiation source capsules. In order to evaluate the weld quality in real time, quantitative relationships between process parameters and electrode displacement were also established.

It is well known that during the oxygen cutting process residual thermal stresses are produced in weldment. The local non-uniform heating and subsequent cooling which takes place during any welding process causes complex thermal strains and stresses to finally lead to residual stresses exceed to the yield stress. High tensile stresses combined with applied structural load in the region near the welded joint can given rise to distortion brittle fracture change of the fatigue strength and stress corrosion cracking. The appropriate treatment of the welded component which reduces the peak of he welding residual stresses is believed to lower risk of the fracture during the service of the structure. In this study the impact loading in oxygen cutting frame was applied to reduce the residual stress. After applying the impact loading redistribution of resid-ual stress was measured by cutting method and the effect of fatigue was tested.

Reliability evaluation of the welded structure for industrial structures/facilities such as power plant and petro-chemical refinery facilities is very important, and especially the reliability diagnosis of the structure is based on the exact evaluation of materials properties. But, the conventional Pre-Qualification test had the difficulty of evaluating the real material properties in the field because the test was made on the specimen with the simulated welding for the in-field welding condition. Therefore, a continuous indentation technique was proposed for simple and non-destructive testing of in-field structures and for selective testing of local range such as heat affected zone and weldment.

This study was carried out fusion-welded butt joints in SWS 490A high strength steel subjected to tensile test that load-deflection curve. The windowed or short-time Fourier transform(WFT or STFT) makes possible for the analysis of non-stationary or transient signals into a joint time-frequency domain and the wavelet transform(WT) is used to decompose the acoustic emission(AE) signal into various discrete series of sequences over different frequency bands. In this paper, for acoustic emission signal analysis to use a continuous wavelet transform, in which the Gabor wavelet base on a Gaussian window function is applied to the time-frequency domain. A wavelet transform is demonstrated and the plots are very powerful in the recognition of the acoustic emission features. As a result, the technique of acoustic emission is ideally suited to study variables which control time and stress dependent fracture or damage process in metallic materials.

Fatigue failures are often occurred at welded joints where stress concentrations are relatively high due to the joint geometry. Although employing good detail design practices by upgrading the welded detail class enables to improve the fatigue performance, in many cases, the modification of the detail may not be practicable. As an alternative, the fatigue life extension techniques that reduce the severity of the stress concentration at the weld toe region, remove imperfections and introduce local compressive welding residual stress, have been applied. These techniques are also used as definite measures to extend the fatigue life of critical welds that have failed prematurely and have been repaired. In this study, a hammer peening procedure for using commercial pneumatic chipping hammer was developed, and the effectiveness is quantitatively evaluated. The pneumatic hammer peening makes it possible to give the weld not only a favorable shape reducing the local stress concentration, but also a beneficial compressive residual stress into material surface. In the fatigue life calculation of non-load carrying cruciform specimen treated by the pneumatic hammer peening, the life was lengthened about ten times at a stress range of 240MPa, and fatigue limit increased over 65% for the as-welded specimen.

The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has mainly been used for making butt joints in Al alloys. The development of Friction Stir Lap Welding (FSLW) would expand the number of applications. In this study, for effective application on thin aluminum alloy lap joint, non-heat treatment A5052 alloys were joined by FSLW with the length of probe 2.3 mm and 3.0 mm. Investigating the characteristics of joint area showed the results were as below ; When the length of probe was 2.3 mm, good joint area was formed at all welding condition except for 600 rpm-700 mm/min. In the case of 3.0 mm probe length, there was formed good joint area without defects at 1500 rpm-100 mm/min. The width of joint area, position and size of defects were very important factors for FSLW, due to heat input and stirring intensity.

스폿용접은 겹침판을 끼우고 가압상태의 전극 사이에 단시간의 대전류를 흘려, 전류가 집중하는 전극 직하의 모재 저항발열과 전극 및 모재의 열전도를 이용해서 판과 판의 접촉부에 안정한 용융부를 형성하는 압접법이다. 스폿용접으로 대표되는 저항용접법의 특징은 작업속도가 빠르고. 대량 생산적인 성격이 강하다는 점이다. 그러나, 용접부의 점검이 중요함에도 불구하고 용접부의 직접 감시가 곤란하여 적절한 검사 방법이 확립되지 않은 결점이 있다. 최근 제조공정 중에 실시간으로 스폿 용접부를 비파괴적인 방법을 이용하여 응력 및 변형상태를 체크하고. 결합을 검출할 수 있는 방법이 강력히 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 스폿 용접부페 광학적으로 레이저 빔을 조사하여 렌즈에 의해 결상되면 결상면상에 작은 입자모양의 반점이 생긴다. 이 반점을 스페클이라 하며 이 스페클에 의해 만들어진 불규칙한 반점모양을 스페클 패턴이라 한다. 이러한 현상은 레이저 빔이 가간섭의 성질을 지니고 있으므로 조사영역에서는 랜덤하지만 시간적으로 정상적인 위상관계에 있는 다수의 광파가 간섭함으로서 발생하는데 이와 같은 줄무늬 간격을 PC 프로그램으로 계산하여 응력을 측정한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 레이저를 이용한 전자처리식 스페클 패턴 간섭법(ESPI)으로 스폿 용접부의 응력 및 변형률을 측정하여 스트레인 게이지법과 비교 고찰한 결과, ESPI법이 유용함을 알 수 있었으며. 이 방법을 생산 공정에 적용함으로서 생산성 및 품질 향상을 기할 수 있다고 판단된다.

마찰교반용접은 운송 분야 등에서 널리 상업화되고 있다. 본 연구는 마찰교반용접된 A2024-T4 합금의 결함을 비파괴검사(방사선투과검사, 초음파탐상시험, 전기전도도시험)와 파괴시험(인장강도 및 미세조직 관찰)을 실시하여 관찰하였다. 실험 결과 결함 분포도를 얻을 수 있었다. 방사선투과검사에서 발견되지 않은 미세결함이 초음파탐상시험에서는 발견되었으며, 초음파탐상시험은 음압의 차이와 그에 대응하는 색에 의해 결함의 정도를 검사할 수 있는 효과적인 방법이었다. 또한 전기전도도 측정값은 결함의 양이 많아짐에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 비파괴검사와 파괴검사를 통해 얻은 가장 건전한 조건의 이음 효율은 91% 이었다. 따라서 비파괴검사는 마찰교반용접된 A2024-T4 합금을 검사하는데 있어서 효과적인 방법이라 사료된다.
