Low arc weldability of aluminum alloy is enhanced by applying variable polarity TIG and the result is theoretically investigated to figure out the mechanism. Conventionally, it is well known fact that DCEP (reverse polarity) arc is effective on aluminum welding. The reason is due to oxide layer removal by plasma ion bombardment and therefore it is named as cleaning effect. Another fact of polarity characteristic is that DCEN shows higher heat input efficiency therefore conventional variable polarity arc used to apply DCEP portion as small as possible. However, higher DCEP portion shows bigger weldment in this research and it is explained by adopting a theory of arc concentration on oxide layer with tunneling effect which was not clearly mentioned before in several variable polarity TIG welding research. Disagreement between variable polarity TIG welding result and conventional arc polarity theory is rationally explained for the first time with help of electron emission theory.

This paper proposes an efficient computation method for fixed and mixed polarity Reed -Muller function vector over Galois field GF(p). Function vectors of fixed polarity Heed Muller function with single variable can be generated by proposed method. The n-variable function vectors can be calculated by means of the Kronecker product of a single variable function vector corresponding to each variable. Thus, all fixed and mixed polarity Reed-Muller function vectors are calculated directly without using a polarity function vector table or polarity coefficient matrix.

MIG brazing is used for many parts without melting base metal because of high productivity. Pulsed MIG brazing can be used to further reduce heat input and to improve the process stability. However, a significant amount of zinc in galvanized sheet steel is burned off in the area of brazes. Therefore, the brazing method to reduce the heat input is needed. In the brazing for galvanized sheet steel, variable polarity AC pulse MIG arc brazing can be applied to more decrease the heat input by setting EN-ratio adequately. In this research, we studied for the variable polarity AC pulse MIG arc brazing to decrease the heat input by using ERCuSi-A wire. As the result of increasing EN-ratio, melting ratio of base metal and burning off of zinc were reduced in galvanized sheet steel.

Cleaning effect is well known mechanism of oxide layer removal in DCEP polarity. It is also known that DCEN has higher heat input efficiency than DCEP in GTAW process. Based on these two renowned arc theories, conventional variable polarity arc for aluminum welding was set up to have minimum DCEP and maximum DCEN duty ratio to achieve the highest heat input efficiency and weldability increase. However, recent several variable polarity GTA research papers reported unexpected result of proportional relationship between DCEP duty ratio and heat input. The authors also observed the same result then suggested combination of tunneling effect and random walk of cathode spot to fill up the gap between experiment and conventional arc theory. In this research, suggested combinational work of tunneling effect and rapid cathode spot changing is applied to another unexpected phenomena of variable polarity aluminum arc welding. From previous research, it is reported that wider oxide removal range, narrower bead width and shallower penetration depth are observed in thin oxide layered aluminum compared to the case of thick oxide. This result was reported for the first time and it was hard to explain the reason at that time therefore the inference by the authors was hardly acceptable. However, the suggested combinational theory successfully explains the result of the previous report in logical way.

Variable polarity (VP) arc welding is known as an effective solution for aluminum thanks to the cleaning effect, which means oxide removal, during the DCEP (direct current electrode positive) period. In this research, VP GTAW (gas tungsten arc welding) is adopted for lap joint fillet welding of 3mm thickness 5052 aluminum alloy. Various welding currents and DCEP duty cycles are applied as welding conditions with a fixed welding speed to investigate the influence of DCEP characteristics on weld bead formation. Results show a tendency of higher heat input for higher DCEP duty cycle, which result does not follow conventional arc theory because it is known that DCEN (DC electrode negative) polarity is more efficient for heat input than is DCEP. This phenomenonhas recently been reported by several VP-GTA researchers and is still controversial because the mechanism of oxide removal is not yet clear except for the previous, well-known idea of "ion bombardment", which cannot explain the situation. Finally, proper usage conditions for VP-GTAW are suggested; then, further, related theoretical topics in the field of cathode physics are brieflyintroduced.

본 논문에서는 karnaugh map(k-map)상의 셀을 이용하여 $2^{n}$개의 서로 다른 극수(polarity)를 갖는 GRM(Generalized Reed-Muller)상수를 생성하는 새로운 기법을 제안하였다. n개의 입력변수에 대한 일반적인 GRM 함수의 생성 방법은 단일 변수에 대한 변환 행렬을 구하고 이를 n번의 Kronecker 곱을 행한 변환 행렬을 이용하여 GRM 상수를 구하는 것이다. 이런 방법을 사용하는 경우, 변수의 숫자가 증가함에 따라 변환 행렬의 차수가 $2^{n}\times2^{n}$로 커지는 단점을 갖는다. 이에 반하여 본 논문에서는 k-map상에서 변수를 축약시킨 셀 [$f_{i}$]을 구하고 이를 단일 변수 변환 행렬과 연산하여 GBM 상수를 구하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 새로운 방법과 타 논문과의 비교를 한 결과, 기존 방법은 가산기, 승산기, KP(Kronecker 곱 승산기)회로가 필요한데 반하여 본 논문에서는 가산기만이 필요하므로 효율적인 VLSI 설계에 유리하다

본 논문에서는 다치논리 함수의 GRM(Generalized Reed-Huller)계수 생성 방법에 관하여 제안하였다 일반적인 GRM계수의 생성 방법은 Reed-Muller(RM) 전개식를 이용하여 극수 P=0의 RM계수를 구하고 이를 확장하여 모든 GRM계수를 구하는 방법을 사용한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘은 모든 극수의 GRM계수를 구하지 않고 극수의 0의 개수를 순차적으로 비교해가며 GRM계수를 구하는 방식이다.
