To the date, shipbuilding companies have applied shop primer coating which protects the steel surface from global oxidization in environment. Proper shop primer requires either anti-corrosion ability during construction or anti-porosity ability during welding, and those properties contradict to each other. This report tried to derive an optimizing parameter on these conflicting properties to select a proper shop primer. First, sufficient amounts of the natural salt spray tests were carried out to achieve a series of data for the anti-corrosion ability. Second, lots of T-joint fillet welding test were performed to evaluate the trapped porosity formed in the weld pool. According to the experimental data, we could achieve either the rust-formation rate or the porosity-formation rate, then, each rate was generalized as formulae. Then, we tried to combine these conflicting properties to decide an optimum shop primer.

This paper presents the simplified welding distortion analysis method to predict the welding deformation of both plate and stiffener in fillet welds. Currently, the methods based on equivalent thermal strain like Strain as Direct Boundary (SDB) has been widely used due to effective prediction of welding deformation. Regarding the fillet welding, however, those methods cannot represent deformation of both members at once since the temperature degree of freedom is shared at the intersection nodes in both members. In this paper, we propose new approach to simulate deformation of both members. The method can simulate fillet weld deformations by employing composite shell element and using different thermal expansion coefficients according to thickness direction with fixed temperature at intersection nodes. For verification purpose, we compare of result from experiments, 3D thermo elastic plastic analysis, SDB method and proposed method. Compared of experiments results, the proposed method can effectively predict welding deformation for fillet welds.

Compared with Inconel 625 (ERNiCrMo-3) weld, Nb-free Alloy 59 (ERNiCrMo-13) weld with 15% Mo showed much higher resistance to hot cracking. Especially in the condition of current 350A and 30CPM of welding speed, no crack was detected at Inconel 625 fillet weld. Furthermore, it was found that the strength of Alloy 59 is sensitive to welding heat input. Up to around 14kJ/cm of heat input, Alloy 59 showed 678N/$mm^{2}$ of ultimate strength and 466N/$mm^{2}$ of yield strength. However, as heat input increased above 14kJ/cm, Alloy 59 weld could not satisfy the weld strength required for European LNG tank.

Most of the ship structures and offshore structures are constructed through the welding and they are always subjected to variable loads. In this study, fatigue and stress concentration of the various types of welding connections due to the variable loads are investigated by using numerical approach, and comparisons between numerical analysis and experiments are performed. Fillet weld, full penetration weld and partial penetration weld characteristics are studied by using parameters such as penetration length, welding leg length, size and penetration angle. Based on this study, it is suggested that the fillet welding can be replaced with the penetration welding in some cases. The results of this study can be used as guidelines for actual welding problems in the shipyards.

The use of welding process has been increased for manufacture of machine, bridges, ships, gas facilities and so on together with development of welding technique. Accordingly, it has been needed to develop the welding methods considering higher productivity and safety design for manufacture of their welding structures. In this study, it was studied basically on characteristics of fatigue strength and fatigue life in full penetrated cruciform fillet weld zone in relation to material thickness, welding passes, loading direction and notch radius of toe zone. Most of fatigue failure occurred in toe zone of cruciform fillet weld joint. Fatigue strength and fatigue life are under the influence of stress concentration due to notch radius and flank angle of toe zone. The metal of toe zone annealed and diffused by multi-layer welding and acicular ferrite structure formed by the result improved fatigue strength and fatigue life.
