  • TIG 용접은 고품질이고 용접인자의 제어가 쉽고 정확하다는 장점이 있지만, 얕은 용입과 낮은 생산성과 같은 단점이 있다. TIG 오비탈 용접에서는 용입의 한계 때문에 작은 루트면과 넓은 그루브를 가공하여 다층 용접을 하며, 루트패스에서는 파이프 진원도에 의한 핏업 시 단차의 문제가 자주 발생하여 많은 현장에서 루트갭을 만들어 수동 용접하는 실정이다. 따라서 생산성이 낮으며 생산 단가가 높고 용접 품질이 작업자에 따라 다르게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하여 자동 오비탈 용접을 위해 단차를 흡수 할 수 있는 용접 공정 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 TIG 용접에서 단차에 따른 용접성을 검토하여 이를 맞대기 용접에 적용했을 때 균일한 이면비드를 얻는 공정을 개발하는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 아래보기 자세에서 단차에 따른 용입 특성을 이면비드 및 단면으로 비교 분석하였다. 단차 없이 아크길이만 1mm, 2mm, 3mm로 변경하여 실험한 결과 아크길이가 짧아질수록 표면비드 폭은 좁아졌고 이면비드 폭은 증가하는 경향을 나타내어 아크길이가 짧아질수록 용융효율이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 단차 1mm에서 아크길이 3mm를 제외하고 표면비드 및 이면비드가 미려하였다. 하지만 단차 2mm에서는 아크길이 1mm, 2mm, 3mm 전부 이면비드가 생성되지 않았다. 이는 단차로 인해 아크길이가 증가하여 용융효율이 낮아졌기 때문이라 판단된다. 이면비드가 생성되지 못한 시험편을 백 베벨링(0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm)하여 실험한 결과 단차 2mm, 아크길이 1-3mm 백 베벨링 2.0mm 적용한 시험편에서 양호한 이면비드를 얻을 수 있었다.

  • DUPIC (Direct use of spent PWR fuel in CANDU reactors) nuclear fuel is a CANDU fuel fabricated remotely from spent PWR fuel materials in a hot cell. The soundness of the end closure welds of nuclear fuel elements is an important factor for the safety and performance of nuclear fuel. To evaluate the soundness of the end closure welds of DUPIC fuel element, a precise X-ray inspection system is developed using a micro-focus X-ray generator with an image intensifier and a real time camera system. The fuel elements made of Zircaloy-4 and stainless steel by an Nd:YAG laser welding and a TIG welding aye inspected by the developed inspection system. The soundness of the welds of the fuel elements was confirmed by the X-ray inspection process, and the irradiation test of DUPIC fuel elements has been successfully completed at the HANARO research reactor.

  • In this research, the copper alloy plates C2200, C5210, C7701, C8113 were selected to make datum and to identify further usage of metal craft experimentation. For its experimentation, the general welding and TIG welding methods were researched; for 2nd experimentation, the Reticulation and Electroforming skill's differences in color and temperature were researched. With these methods 3 different kinds of works are introduced for sample studies. For this research, Dr. Lee, Dong-Woo who works in Poongsan Metal Co, supported 4 kinds of copper alloy metals. Which are Commercial bronze (Cu-Zn), Deoxidiged Copper(Cu-Sn-P), Nickel Silver (Cu-Ni-Zn), and White Bronze (Cu-Ni); they were applied partly and wholly by the method of Laminatin, Reticulation, Fusing, and Electroforming skills. In case of C2200, the brass, the A. C. TIG welding method is better under 2mm slight plate; the D.C. TIG welding is better upper 2mm plate; and 250~300$^{\circ}C$ is recommended for remain heat treatment. In case of C5210, not having Hydrogen in high temperature return period, doesn't need Oxygen in high temperature and hardening in comparative high temperature neither, it is good for welding. It contains Sn 2-9% ad P 0.03-0.4% generally; and in accordance with the growth rate of Sn contain amount, the harden temperature boundary become broad. In case of cold moment after welding, they are recommended that higher speed TIG welding, smaller melting site and less than 200$^{\circ}C$ for pre-heating temperature. In case of C7701, the 10-20% Ni, 15-30% Zn are widely used.. If it is upper 30% Zn, it become (${\alpha}+{\beta}$) system and adhesive power rate become lower, and the productivity become lower in low temperature but the productivity become higher in high temperature. Nickel Silver's resistance of electricity is well; and the heatproof and incorrodibility is good, too. Lastly, in case of C8113, good at persistence in salty and grind; high in strength of high temperature. In case of white brass, contain 10-30% Nickel and hardened in high temperature and become single phrase. For these reason, the crystallization particles easily become large, if the resistance become higher small amount of Pb, P, S separation rate become higher.

  • Since new types of vehicles or structures made from thin aluminum alloy are under rapid development and some products are already on the market, welding of aluminium sheet is increasing. MIG(Metal Inert Gas), MIG-Pulse, TIG(Tungsten Inert Gas) welding are the typical Ai welding. MIG welding has the advantage of high speed, but it is difficult to apply to the thin plate, because of bum-through by the high heat input and spatter. MIG-Pulse welding can weld without spatter and burn-through, but when the gap exists at the welding joint, there is quite a possibility of bum-through. TIG welding is difficult to weld at a high speed. AC Pulse welding alternates between DCEP(Direct Current Electrode Positive) and DCEN(Direct Current Electrode Negative). DCEN is higher wire melting rate than DCEP, while lower temperature of droplet than DCEP. In AC Pulse welding, far fixed welding current, wire melting rate increases as the EN ratio increases. For fixed wire feed rate, welding current decreases as the EN ratio increases. Because of these features, the temperature of droplet, the depth of penetration, the width of bead decrease and the reinforcement height increases as EN ratio increases, and these are able to weld at a high speed, lower heat input. It is the purpose of this study that design of AC pulse current waveform for MIG welding of Al sheet and estimation of output characteristic.

  • Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state process, where the objects are joined together without reaching their melting point. It has been shown that this method is a suitable way to join dissimilar aluminium alloys. The current article employed hole drilling technique to measure the residual stress distribution experimentally in different zones of dissimilar aluminium alloys AA6061-T6 and AA7075-T6 Butt welded using FSW. Results are compared with those of similar AA6061-T6 plates joined using a conventional fusion welding method called tungsten inert gas (TIG). Also, the evolution of the residual stresses in the thickness direction was investigated, and it was found that the maximum residual stresses are below the yield strength of the material in the shoulder region. It was also revealed that the longitudinal residual stresses in the joint were much larger than the transverse residual stresses. Meanwhile, Vickers micro hardness measurements were performed in the cross-section of the samples. The largest hardness values were observed in the stir zone (SZ) adjacent to the advancing side whereas low hardness values were measured at the HAZ of both alloys and the SZ adjacent to the retreating side.

  • 티타늄 용접부의 기공 형성은 용접 중 대기중으로부터 유입되거나 모재 표면의 산화막으로부터 확산과정을 통해 유입되는 산소 혹은 수소로 인해 형성된다고 알려져 있다. 용접부 기공은 용접부의 피로 수명과 인성을 저하시키며 취성 파괴의 원인이 된다. 이에 용접 후 비파괴 검사를 통해 용접부 기공을 확인하고 있으며 확인된 기공등의 결함은 재용접을 통해 제거하고 있다. 이번 연구에서는 기계적 가공 방법에 의해 기공을 제거한 후 재용접 하는 기존의 방식에서 벗어나 TIG Dressing 공법을 이용하여 용접부에 형성된 기공을 제거하고자 하였으며 이에 따른 용접부 노치 인성을 확인하였다. 시험 결과 TIG Dressing에 의한 기공 제거 효과와 노치 인성을 확인하였다.

  • Bead shape control with gas force process has been developed to overcome the concave back bead in pipe orbital welding. However, It is impossible to make a convex back bead using the existing gas nozzle, because it has high gas-consuming and low gas force. The purpose of this paper, to develop optimum shape of nozzle which to reduce the consumption of gas, maximizing the shield gas force with low cost and high productivity coincide the Green welding. In this paper venturi-type nozzle was designed by using the Venturi meter and compared velocity, pressure, arc shape in the flat position with existing CP-nozzle. As a result, Venturi-type nozzle's maximum velocity and pressure was improved at the same flow rate. Also heat input was increased by the arc contraction in the flat position.

  • This paper presents the power conversion system for TIG-welder using the fuel cell stack Generally, power supply for TIG-welder uses the front-ended diode bridge rectifier by common AC power source. In this case, power supply of TIG-welder increases in volume because of using bulky capacitor and diode-rectifier. Also, input current includes ripple and harmonics. Moreover, TIG-welder will be demand the power supply with lightweight and easy movement in the areas like as the islands and mountainous areas or the special environment are not use common AC power source. Thus, input power of the power conversion system for TIG-welder is used PEMFC(Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell), and the power conversion system is comprised of full-bridge converter with function of boost converter and inverter welding source, in this paper. The proposed power conversion system which is power supply for TIG-welder was verified by computer simulations and experiments.
