Pulse inverter-type TIG(Tungsten Inert Gas) arc welders are studied to investigate the dynamic performance of welding. Welding currents are controlled to be pulse waveforms resulting in stable are better welding performance. The hybrid-type controller is proposed to control the welding current. Todemonstrate the practical significance of our results we present some simulation results.

본 논문은 펄스 인버터용 TIG(Tungsten Inert Gas) 아크 용접기를 구현하는 용접전원장치의 성능에 관하여 알아본다. 용접전류는 펄스형태로 제어되고 또한 안정된 아크와 좋은 용접성능을 얻을 수 있다. DC 고전압 아크 스타트 시스템을 채용한 TIG 아크용접기에 대해 토치와 용접전원 사이의 연장 케이블이 50m 나 되어도 아크 스타트이 실패 없이 용접을 행할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 이 DC 고전압 아크 스타트방식을 이용한다면 용접 전원장치와 용접장이 멀리 떨어져 있는 조선소와 같은 장소에서 요용하리라 생각된다. 이를 확인하기 위하여 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 행하였다.

This study is on the system that can integrate generator and charger to use as a welder and generator for need. Specifically, it was hybrid generator consisted with select switch to use generator controller and multiple function welder, that function were auto-stopping generator when generator power finish to recharge in recharger battery and Co2 MMA TIG MIG MAG are devide depend on supplying gas. This control system of voltage, high-frequency, motor and gas valve was implemented in order to improve the performance and convenience of existing welders to choose only one or two at a time.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the assessment of exposure to welding fume and heavy metals among construction welders. Methods: Activity-specific personal air samplings(n=206) were carried out at construction sites of three apartment, two office buildings, and two plant buildings using PVC(poly vinyl chloride) filters with personal air samplers. The concentration of fumes and heavy metals were evaluated for five different types of construction welding jobs: general building pipefitter, chemical plant pipefitter, boiler maker, ironworker, metal finishing welder. Results: The concentration of welding fumes was highest among general building pipefitters($4.753mg/m^3$) followed by ironworkers($3.765mg/m^3$), boilermakers($1.384mg/m^3$), metal finishing welders($0.783mg/m^3$), chemical pipefitters($0.710mg/m^3$). Among the different types of welding methods, the concentration of welding fumes was highest with the $CO_2$ welding method($2.08mg/m^3$) followed by SMAW(shield metal arc welding, $1.54mg/m^3$) and TIG(tungsten inert gas, $0.70mg/m^3$). Among the different types of workplace, the concentration of welding fumes was highest in underground workplaces($1.97mg/m^3$) followed by outdoor($0.93mg/m^3$) and indoor(wall opening as $0.87mg/m^3$). Specifically comparing the workplaces of general building welders, the concentration of welding fumes was highest in underground workplaces($7.75mg/m^3$) followed by indoor(wall opening as $2.15mg/m^3$). Conclusions: It was found that construction welders experience a risk of expose to welding hazards at a level exceeding the exposure limits. In particular, for high-risk welding jobs such as general building pipefitters and ironworkers, underground welding work and $CO_2$ welding operations require special occupational health management regarding the use of air supply and exhaust equipment and special safety and health education and fume mask are necessary. In addition, there is a need to establish construction work monitoring systems, health planning and management practices.
