Needs for structural integrity procedure such as BS 7910, the nuclear industry document R6 Rev.4 and the European FITNET procedure are being increased in industry. Especially, BS 7910 allows metallic structures to be assessed on the basis of fracture mechanics analysis rather than strict adherence to design and fabricated codes. This study is to propose the flaw assessment to judge the toughness level of welding consumables at the development stage. The FCA welding consumables with YP 690MPa and CTOD over 0.25 mm have been developed and its allowable weld flaw size considering actually applied environment has been evaluated. Since the estimated allowable defect size is sufficiently detectable in nondestructive testing, the toughness of the developed material is judged to be appropriate and no problem in securing the structural integrity.

건축철골, 교량, 압력용기, 배관, 해양구조물 등의 강구조물은 그 대부분이 용접구조이다 이러한 구조물의 용접부의 결함검출법으로는 방사선투과 시험방법도 적용되지만, 구조물의 향상 등에 따라서는 초음파탐상시험방법이 단독적으로 또는 방사선투과 시험방법과 더불어 적용되는 경우가 많다. 따라서 이들 각각의 구조물에 대한 초음파탐상시험규격이 제정되어 있다. 여기서는 결함평가만으로 한정하여 자주 이용되는 규격인 KS B 0896 및 AWS D1.1에 대해 기술한다.

키홀 용접현상에 관한 연구는, 키홀 현상이 용융금속내부에서 아주 빠른 속도로 과도적으로 이루어지기 때문에 그 계측과 해석이 곤란하여 수 많은 가정이나 가설 하에서 용입형상과 키홀의 거동에 관한 해석이 국한된 영역에서 이루어지고 있는 것이 현실이다. (중략)

$CO_2$ welding is used widely in the field. On the other hand, welding defects occur when welders cannot adjust the current and voltage needed for welding and have to stop working to adjust the current and voltage, causing sudden cooling down of the welding structure inside a vehicle or tank where the control panel is invisible or when work site is far. This study used three types of existing $CO_2$ welders. This also applied SS400 rolled steel for welding structural purposes for remote control torch welding, perform a welding test through v-groove butt welding with a remote control torch and existing $CO_2$ welding torch, conducted visual inspection on the appearance of a welded top bead. In addition, the appearance quality of the welding part was monitored mainly through penetrant testing and a bending test to evaluate the welding defect reduction and the effect on the performance and compatibility by replacing the existing welder.

Magnesium and magnesium alloys, the lightest structural materials, have been received plenty of global attention recently. These alloys could be applied in various fields, especially the electronics industry, because of their excellent electromagnetic interference shielding. However, the welding technique of magnesium alloys has not been established. This study is related to the welding of AZ31B magnesium alloy by a short-pulsed a Nd:YAG laser. Two types of pulse waves, square pulse and variable pulse, were used to control weld defects. Results show that the crack and porosity, generated in the weld, had not been controlled by general square pulse. But through the application of variable pulse, the defects could be prevented and the good weld zone was obtained.

The aluminum Subframe for automobile chassis part was developed using hybrid process, i.e. extruforming, press stamping and MIG welding. To achieve a 30 % weight reduction compared with convensional steel subframe keeping satisfactory performance, the design of cross-section of extruforming part was introduced, then forming simulation was performed and the final design was determined. In addition, we tried to estibilish optimun aluminum welding conditions for good penetration depth and few pore defect, finally the prototype of aluminum subframe was assembled using MIG welding method. Furthermore, we will adapt this technology to mass production and apply to the other chassis parts.

The purpose of this study is to monitor and control the back bead width in arc welding with consumable electrode for reduction of the occurrence of weld defect. The temperature of a point on the weldment surface is selected, as a monitoring parameter, and measured by an optical infra-red sensor. The correlation between the back bead width and the surface temperature is experimentally obtained for various thicknesses of the weldment. The welding travel speed and the surface temperature are taken, respectively, as an input and an output of the welding process under the stable condition of arc. A PI control scheme to maintain the surface temperature at the desired level is proposed by the experimental study.

Real time monitoring has become critical as the use of laser welding increases. Plasma and spatter are measured and used as the signal for estimating weld quality. The estimating algorithm was made using the fuzzy pattern recognition with the area of data that is beyond the tolerance boundary. Also, an algorithm that detects the spatter and the localized defect was created in order to kd the partially produced pit and the sudden loss of weld penetration. These algorithms were used in quality monitoring of the $CO_2$ laser tailored blank weld. Statistical program that can display the laser weld quality result and the signal transition was made for the first stage of the remote control system.

Laser weldability of aluminized steels of 0.8mm thick has been investigated. Test materials were cut from the commercial steels that were produced at the Coating Mill of POCOS. Test coupons for welding were prepared by using a conventional shearing machine and no additional edge treatment was peformed. Nd:YAG laser welding system was mainly applied to make weld specimens. Test results revealed that almost no spattering was observed even though the welding was peformed with no overlap joint clearance. Bead quality of aluminized steel laser weld was smooth and stable. According to x-ray inspection results, it was proved that the laser welds of aluminized steels were metallurgically defect free.
