In this study, welding phenomena involved in formation of penetrators during high frequency electric resistance welding were investigated. High speed cinematography of the process revealer that a molten bridge between neighboring skelp edges forms at apex point and travels along narrow gap toward to welding point at a speed ranging from 100 to 400 m/min. The bridge while moving along the narrow gap swept away oxide containing molten metal from the gap, providing oxide-free surface for a forge-welding at upsetting stand frequency of the budge formation, travel distance and speed of the bridge were affected by the heat input rate into strip. The travel distance and its standard deviation were found to have a strong relationship with the weld defect density. Based on the observation, a new mechanism of the penetrator formation during HF ERW process is proposed.

GMA 용접 중 100% $CO_2$ 가스를 사용하는 $CO_2$ 용접은 경제적이고 고능률적이라는 점 때문에 많이 사용되고 있다. $CO_2$ 용접의 아크현상과 스패터 발생량은 용접용 와이어의 화학성분, 실드가스, 용접조건 등에 영향을 받는다. 특히 용접조건은 용적이행 모드를 결정하기 때문에 스패터 발생량에 커다란 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 $CO_2$ 용접 재료 중 두 type의 FCW(titania계, semi-metal계)를 이용하여 용접조건을 변화시켜 아크현상과 스패터 발생량을 파악하여 용접부의 품질 평가와 용접조건 설정에 기여코져 한다. 본 연구를 통해, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있다. 1) 저전류 영역(140A)의 FCW 모두 22V까지는 전형적이 단락이행이 나타났고, 스패터 발생량의 증가와 저전류 스패터 입도를 대립화하였다. 2) 대전류 영역(320A)의 전형적인 globular이행에서 titania계 FCW가 semi-metal계 FCW보다 아크 안정성이 양호하였다.

With an expansion in automation of welding processes, emphasis has been shifted from other welding processes to the GMA welding. However, there is a problem with this process that the spatter occurs very frequently. In GMA welding, there are several types in the way of metal transfer from the electrode wire to the weld pool, which have a close relatonship with the spatter genetration. This study was concerned with the spatter occurring in the short-circuiting transfer. In welding with short-circuiting, the electromagnetic force formed by the welding current facilitatics the rupture of the metal bridge between the wire and workpiece and ensures the normal process of the welding process. However, the spatter can be genetrated from the droplet because of the upward magnetic force, when the droplet contacts with the weld pool. The passage of current through the bridge results in the accumulation of the thermal energy, which causes the bridge to explode in the final stage of short-circuiting, thus forming the spatter. Based on the above phenomena in conjunction with other experimental results published, the physical phenomenon related with the occurrence of spatter was modeled and the current waveform was investigated to reduce the spatter. Finally, the fuzzy rule based method was proposed to predict the time of short-circuiting and arcing in the metal transfer.

This study is aimed to obtain fundamental knowledge of pulse laser welding phenomena the authors investigated the structure and composition of evaporated particles of Al alloys in air and in the Ar atmosphere during pulsed laser welding. The ultra-fine particles of 5 to 100nm diameter in a globular or irregular shape were formed in laser-induced plasma and the main structure was $MgAl_2O_4$ The composition of particles was ifferent depending on the power density of a laser beam; namely under the low power density conditions magnesium was predominant in the parti-cles while aluminium content increased with an increase in the power density. These results were attributed to evaporation phenomena of metals with different boiling points and latent heats of vaporization. On the other hand the number density of laser-induced plasma species was obtained by Saha's equation. it was confirmed that the number density depends upon the plasma tempera-ture and total pressures.

The laser-induced plasma affects greatly on the results of welding process. moreover selective evaporation loss of alloying elements leads to change in chemical composition of weld metal as well as the mechanical properties of welded joint. this study was undertaken to obtain a fundamental knowledge of pulsed laser welding phenomena especially evaporation mechanism of different aluminum alloys. The intensities of molecular spectra of AlO and MgO were different each other depeding on the power density of a laser beam Under the low power density condition the MgO band spectrum was predominant in intensity while the AlO spectra became much stronger with an increase in the power density. These behaviors have been attributed to the difference in evaporation phenomena of Al and Mg metals with different boiling points and latent heats of vaporization. The time-averaged plasma temperature and electron number density were determined by spectroscopic methods and consequently the obtained temperature was $3,280{\pm}150K$ and the electron number density was $1.85{\times}10^{19}\;l/m^3$.

The Plasma Arc Cutting Method using high density and hight temperature beam is well applicable to the cutting of the nonferrous metal (Al alloy ) and stainless steel which are unable to be cut by the use of the oxy-fuel gas. This study focalizes on the cutting phenomena of the plate of (mm) thickness, since the cutting phenomena of thick plates have been rather thoroughly studied. In this study the cutting groove, adhesive phenomena of dross, surface roughness were measured according to the variation of cutting speed and compared with the case of mild steel plates. The result showed that the kerf width variation of Al alloy was similar to the case of mild steel, while that of the stainless steel differed from the mild steel. In the adhesive phenomena of dross, 6(mm) thick plates of Al alloy showed a difference from those of thick plates, but the stainless steel was similar to thick plates. The surface roughness variation of Al alloy wias minimum at 67 cm/min, while that of stainless steel was at 30cm/min.

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW), developed based on principle of friction stir welding, has been paid attention as a new solid-state spot welding process. Since FSSW can produce high-quality weld in Al alloys more easily than resistance spot welding, this process has been already used for construction of Al components in the automotive industries. Despite the large industrial interests in FSSW, fundamental knowledge on welding phenomena of this process has not been fully understood. In this study, FSSW phenomena, such as the consolidation mechanism, the microstructural evolution and the material flow, were examined in Al alloy 6061. This study clarified that the elliptical zone found in the vicinity of the pin hole on the cross section was characterized by the initially lapped surface of two sheets. Moreover, the following material flow was proposed; capture of the upper material with the threads on the pin surface, spiral flow along the tool rotation, and then release at the tip of the pin.

In arc welding processes, because of the complexity and nonlinearity of heat transfer phenomena, it is often difficult to design an effective control system based upon an exact mathematic model. In this paper, we simulated the welding process for various welding conditions and positions to investigate the variations of temperature distribution for those cases. Those will be used as a preinformation for developing quality control system for arc welding process.

Effects of gas formers of MgCO$_3$, CaCO$_3$ and Li$_2$CO$_3$ on the spattering phenomena were investigated for non-shielded flux cored arc welding. Spattering phenomena were pictured using high speed camera as a speed of 3000 frames per sec. As experimental results, spattering modes were classified into 4 types. The modes were spattering by arc force, gas explosion, short circuit and pore escape. The amount of spatters by arc force was 30%, gas blowing force was 40%, short circuit 10%, pore escape was 10% and others were 10%. When Li$_2$CO$_3$ was added, the amount of spatters was largest, and it decreased in the order of CaCO$_3$ and MgCO$_3$.

We carry out non-steady state finite element simulation of a porthole extrusion process for manufacturing a radiation pipe under isothermal assumption. It is assumed that welding takes place at the moment that the material contacts the plane of symmetry. Welding phenomena are revealed by observing the contacting mechanism of the material passed through the portholes. It is emphasized that mesh density control and intelligent remeshing during welding process govern the solution accuracy and the program applicability. AFDEX 3D is employed.
