The 4-point bending tests have been performed In order to estimate the effect of TIG-dressing on fatigue strength and fatigue characteristics quantitatively for non load-carrying fillet welded joints subjected to pure bending. As a result of fatigue tests, fatigue strengths of as-welded specimens have satisfied the grade of fatigue strength prescribed in specifications of korea, AASHTO and JSSC. Fatigue strength at 2 million cycles of TIG-dressing specimens have increased compared with as-welded specimens. As the result of beachmark tests, fatigue cracks occurred at several points, where the radius of curvature and flank angle in the weld bead toes were low, and grew as semi-elliptical cracks, then approached to fracture. As a result of finite element analysis, stress concentration factor in weld bead toes has closely related to the flank angle and radius of curvature, and between these, the radius of curvature has more largely affected in stress concentration factor than flank angle. As a result of fracture mechanics approaches, the crack correction factor of test specimens has largely affected on stress gradient correction factor in case a/t is below 0.4. From the relations between stress intensity factor range estimated from FEM analysis and fatigue crack growth rate, fatigue life has been correctly calculated.

For laser welding in shipbuilding industry, gap bridging capability is one of the most important characteristics to achieve the high productivity and good weld quality. Recently, laser-GMA hybrid welding process is regarded as a distinctive method to overcome the tight gap tolerance with improving the productivity. In this study, the influence of process parameters on the bead formation was experimentally analyzed and the relationship between the process parameters and geometric imperfections was investigated. It was revealed that undercut, excessive weld metal, excessive penetration and incompletely filled groove were the major geometric imperfections. The optimized wire feeding and arc pressure were necessary to ensure the gap bridging ability. The approach to select the process parameters was conducted for butt welding with up to 2mm joint gap, in which the sound weld beads were generated without changing the welding speed.

The variation of HAZ toughness with nitrogen content and weld cooling rate was investigated and interpreted in terms of both microstructure and the amount of free nitrogen. The presence of free nitrogen in HAZ was investigated by internal friction measurement and its amount was measured by hydrogen hot extraction analysis. Both nitrogen content and weld cooling rate influenced HAZ microstructure and high toughness was obtained at a mixed microstructure of acicular ferrite, feffite sideplate and polygonal ferrite. If nitrogen content is too low or cooling rate is too fast, bainitic microstructure is obtained and toughness is low. On the other hand, if nitrogen content is too high or cooling rate is too slow, coarse polygonal ferritic microstructure is obtained and toughness is deteriorated again. ill addition to the microstructural change, high nitrogen content also resulted in a large amount of free nitrogen. Therefore, nitrogen content should be kept as low as possible even if the mixed micostructure is obtained. In this experimental condition, the maximum toughness was obtained at 0.006% nitrogen content when weld cooling time ($\Delta$t$_{8}$5/)) is 60s.TEX>5/)) is 60s.

This study was intended to use for the fatigue test in real structures and offer basic data for optimum welding structure design. To this purpose, we obserded the effect of the size and distance of plug welding hole on the static strength and fatigue life of welding structure under the shear/bending load for the improvement of fatigue life of plug welding joint between S/MBR and C/MBR in the lower structure of large bus. The result below is shown through this study. 1) Static and fatigue strength are strongly influenced by the direction of plug weld hole distributed. 2) Distances and diameters of the distributed holes are little dependent on the static strengths 3) In case of the directions of the distributed plug weld holes are vertical to the loading pin, fatigue life is dependent on distance of the distributed hole. 4) In case of the directions of the distributed plug weld holes are parallel to the loading pin, fatigue life is dependent on distance of the hole diameter.

This paper is the first part of the study on the accuracy improvement of numerical analysis of steel welds. The aim of this paper is to raise the accuracy of thermal analysis results, such as the shape and size of the weld cross section and the hardness distribution in HAZ(Heat-Affected Zone). It is known that the factors affecting on the accuracy are thermal properties, metallurgical properties and welding heat source model. It was found that the arbitrary distributed heat source model should be used to predict practical weld cross section shape and size. Also, in order to improve the prediction accuracy of HAZ hardness distribution, it was essential to consider 2 CCT(Continuous Cooling Transformation) diagrams in calculating volume fraction of transformed phases. One is the peak temperature being around melting temperature. The other is the peak temperature being around metallurgical transformation temperature.

Due to its good corrosion and heat resistance with excellent mechanical properties, 304L stainless steel is commonly used in the fabrication of spent nuclear fuel dry storage canisters. However, welds are sensitive to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) due to residual stress generation. Although SCC resistance can be improved by stress relieving the weld and changing the chloride environment, it is difficult to change corrosion environment for certain applications. Stress control in the weld can improve SCC resistance. Ultrasonic shot peening (USP) needs further research as compressive residual stresses and microstructure changes due to plastic deformation may play a role in improving SCC resistance. In this study, 304L stainless steel was welded to generate residual stresses and exposed to a chloride environment after USP treatment to improve SCC properties. Effects of USP on SCC resistance and crack growth of specimens with compressive residual stresses generated more than 1 mm from the surface were studied. In addition, correlations of compressive residual stress, grain size, intergranular corrosion properties, and pitting potential with crack propagation rate were determined and the improvement of SCC properties by USP was analyzed.

본 논문에서는 원자력발전소 1차 계통의 스테인리스강 저합금강 이종금속용접부 및 스테인리스강 동종용접부의 잔류응력을 평가하고 스테인리스강 용접부의 응력부식균열 민감성에 대해 고찰하였다. 노즐 안전단의 이종금속용접부 및 안전단 배관의 동종용접부 제작 및 소재가공에 의행 생성되는 잔류응력을 예측하기 위해 열 탄소성 유한요소법 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 용접공정과 함께 표면의 잔류응력에 기여하는 절삭 및 연삭가공과 소재의 담금질 공정을 열 탄소성적으로 모사하였다. 전산해석 결과, 스테인리스주강의 담금질 잔류응력은 무시할 수 없는 상당한 크기이므로 배관 용접잔류응력 평가 시 소재의 담금질 효과를 고려해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 이종금속 용접과 동종금속 용접공정이 보수용접 없이 정상적인 절차(내면에서 외면으로 적층)로 완성된다면, 냉각재 환경에 노출되는 용접부 내면의 잔류응력은 재료의 응력부식균열 민감성에 영향을 주지 않을 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 안전단 배관 동종용접부의 연삭가공에 의해 내면의 잔류응력이 크게 상승하는 것으로 예측되었으므로, 내면의 연삭가공 이후 표면잔류응력 완화처리(예, 버핑)가 필요하다.
