In TIG welding of pipe, back bead size monitoring is important for weld quality assurance. Many researches have been performed on estimation of the back bead size by heat conduction analysis. However numerical conduction model based on many uncertain thermal parameters causes remarkable errors and thermomechanical phenomena in molten pool can not be considered. In this paper, filler wire feeding force in addition to weld current, wire feedrate, torch travel speed and orbital position angle is monitored to estimate back bead size in orbital TIG welding. Monitored welding process variables are fed into an artificial neural network estimator which has been trained with the monitored process variables (input patterns) and actual back bead size (output patterns). Experimental verification of the proposed estimation method was performed. The predicted results are in a good agreement with the actual back bead shape. The results are quite promising in that estimation of invisible back bead shape can be achieved by analyzing the welding parameters without any conventional NDT of welds.

The experimental investigation focuses on an influence of artificial aging time in longitudinal butt welded Al 6013-T4 aluminum alloy on the fatigue crack growth resistance. The preferred welding processes for this alloy are frequently tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) process due to its comparatively easier applicability and better weldability than other gas metal arc welding. Fatigue crack growth tests were carried out on compact tension specimens (CT) in longitudinal butt TIG welded after T82 heat treatment was varied in three artificial aging times of 6 hours, 18 hours and 24 hours. Of the three artificial aging times, 24 hours of artificial aging time are offering better resistance against the growing fatigue cracks. The superior fatigue crack growth resistance preferred spatial variation of materials within each specimen in the Paris equation based on reliability theory and fatigue crack growth rate by crack length are found to be the reasons for superior fatigue resistance of 24 hours of artificial aging time was compared to other joints. The highest of crack propagation resistance occurs in artificial aging times of 24 hours due to the increase in grain size (fine grained microstructures).

TIG welding enables to produce high quality weldment. However it has some problems such as shallow penetration and large distortion due to low penetration aspect ratio after welding. In order to overcome those problems, there are many ongoing studies on A-TIG welding, which use active flux. In this study, the effect of arc length and shield gas on penetration aspect ratio with melt-run welding on STS 304 6t, on which active flux was spreaded, was investigated. Arc length was changed from 1mm to 3mm, and aspect ratio became higher as arc length was decreased in this range. 100% Ar gas, Ar-$H_2$ mixed gas, Ar-He mixed gas, and 100% He gas were used as shield gas in this study. When Ar-$H_2$ mixed gas, Ar-He mixed gas, and 100% He gas were applied, penetration and melting efficiency were both increased as compared with 100% Ar gas. Aspect ratio was the highest with Ar-2.5% $H_2$ mixed gas.

It was attempted to improve the wear resistance of Al alloy under the load condition by making a formation of the thicker surface hardening alloy layers. The thicker surface hardening alloy layers were formed on 6061 Al alloys overlayed by MIG and TIG welding process with Cu powders feeding. The characteristics of hardening and wear resistance have been investigated in relation to the microstructures of alloyed layers, with a selection of optimum alloying conditions for formation of overlaying layer. The results obtained were summarized as follows With increasing feeding rate of Cu powders by MIG welding, the hardness and specific wear of the overlay weld alloys were increased. It is considered that these high hardness and specific wear of overlay weld alloys were due to the formation of Θ($Al_2Cu$) phases. With increasing feeding rate of Cu powders by TIG welding, the hardness and specific wear of the overlay weld alloys were increased in feeding rates 12 and 18g/min. However, the hardness and specific wear were decreased in the powder feeding rate 38g/min. It is considered that considered that decrease of hardness and specific wear in the powder feeding rate 38g/min due to formation of ${\gamma}$($Al_4Cu_9$) phases.

The effect of weld improvement on the corroded fatigue life of welded structures was investigated. Toe grinding, TIG dressing and weld profiling were used as the geometric improvement methods. Fatigue tests under the corroded condition in artificial seawater were carried out to investigate the corrosion fatigue behavior of API 2W Gr.50T steel plate produced by POSCO. The test results in weld improved conditions were compared with those in as-welded condition. The test results were also compared with the design curves in UK DEn Class F. Corroded fatigue life of weld improved specimens was longer than that of as-welded specimen. Especially, the corroded fatigue life exceeded the mean SN curve in air of UK DEn Class F.

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.

이 논문은 현재에 통용되고 있는 동합금판 C2200, C5210, C7701, C8113 등의 특징 및 용도와 소재의 재질적 특성을 data화하였고, 그 표현의 가능성을 조사하여 수치화하였고, 그 기법실험의 1단계로서 일반접합과 TIG 접합에 대하여, 2단계 실험으로서 망상조직기법과 전해주조기법에 대하여 농하였으며, 이 기법을 응용한, 연구작품의 3가지 사례를 다루었다. 이 때 사용한 동합금은 (주)풍산금속 소재기술연구소 이동우 박사가 지원한 4가지 동합금, 즉 단동, 스프링용 인청동, 스프링용 양백, 백동을 사용하여, 적층기법, 망상조직기법, 융합기법, 전해주조기법을 작품에 따라서 통합 또는 부분적으로 적용시켰다. C2200 의 경우, 황동은 2mm이하의 박판(薄板)에서는 교류 TIG 용접법이 좋으며 그 이상에서는 직류 정극성 TIG 용접법으로, 용접에 의한 잔류 응력부식을 열처리를 250~300도에서 행한다. C5210 의 경우는 고온의 환원성기(還元性氣)중에서도 수소(水素) 취성이 없고 고온에서 O를 흡수하지 않으며, 경화(輕化) 온도도 약간 높아, 용접용으로 매우 적합하다. 일반적으로 Sn을 2-9% P를 0.03-0.4%정도 포함하고 있는데, Sn의 함유량이 증가함에 따라 응고 온도 범위가 광범위해졌으며 용접후의 냉각 시, 열분열 방지에는 TIG용접의 용접속도를 빠르게, 용융지(溶融池)를 작게, 예열 온도는 200도로 하는 것이 좋다. C7701의 경우는 조성범위가 10-20% Ni, 15-30% Zn의 것이 많이 사용된다. 약 30% Zn 이상이 되면(${\alpha}+{\beta}$) 조직이 되어 점성이 낮아지고 냉간 가공성은 저하하나 열간 가공성은 좋다. 양백은 또한 전기저항이 높고 내열, 내식성이 좋다. C8113의 경우는 내해수성, 내마모성이 우수하며 고온 강도가 높고 백동은 10-30% 니켈을 포함하며 완전히 고용(固溶)해서 단상(單相)이 된다. 이 때문에 결정입(結晶粒)도 크게 되기 쉬우며, 구속이 강한 경우 미량의 Pb, P, S라는 분열 감수성이 높아진다.

The crevice corrosion behavior on austenitic AISI 304 and 316L stainless steel welded by TIG, MIG, $CO_2$ and SMA was studied. The results are as follows : In 10% $FeCl_3$ solution and natural sea water sampled near Mokpo port, the base metal of 304 stainless steel showed small amount corrosion, whereas 316L stainless steel did not showed any corrosion in the test periods. The weight loss caused by crevice corrosion increased with increasing weld heat input and residual .delta. ferrite formed in welded part. The corrosion resistance of the welded part was in the order of TIG, MIG, $CO_2$ and SMA. From this tendency, it is proved that the smaller heat input gives the better corrosion resistance.

JLF-1 steel (Fe-9Cr-2W-V-Ta), reduced activation ferritic steel, is one of the promising candidate materials for fusion reactor applications. Tensile properties of JLF-1 base metal and its TIG weldments has been investigated at the room temperature, $400^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$. The tensile strength of base metal (JLF-1) showed the level between those of weld metal and the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). When the test temperature was increased from room temperature to high temperature ($400^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$), both strength and ductility decreased or base metal, weld metal and the HAZ. The longitudinal specimens of base metal represented similar strength and ductility at room temperature and high temperature, compared to those of transverse specimens. Little anisotropy for the rolling direction was observed in the base metal of JLF-1 steel.
