In this study, metal transfer characteristics in pulsed current metal inert gas (MIG) welding of aluminum was investigated. Based on the metal transfer characteristics from direct current electrode negative MIG welding, the one drop per one pulse(ODOP) condition was predicted and compared with experimental data. The results indicated that experimental pulse range for the ODOP condition is wider than that predicted from the DCEP MIG welding data. In addition, more stable metal trnasfer behavior was obtained at the higher end of the ODOP condition.

Gas metal arc welding(GMAW) uses a continuously fed electrode as a filler metal. The arc is shielded from atmospheric contamination by an inert gas active or inert/active gas mixture delivered through the welding gun and cable assembly. The recent research topics on $CO_2$ are welding machines are focused mainly on the reduction method of generated spatter by using new type consumable electrode metal or inverter control method. The various current waveform control methods have been researched for welding performance improvement. Until now current waveform control methods reduce to spatter occurred by instantaneous short circuiting,. but these methods is drawback that no reduce spatter occurred by arc reignition. In this paper the previous arc reignition current control method for welding performance improvement of inverter arc welding machine is studied and compared the various current control methods with the previous arc reignition current control method.

In this study, the mechanical properties of railway-vehicle aluminum under frame was investigated based on the metal inert gas (MIG) welding conditions. An aluminum-alloy (6005A-T6) extruded material used in the lower panel of a railway vehicle was connected through MIG welding to determine the mechanical properties of MIG welds. Argon shielding gas and filler materials, such as ER5356 and ER4043, were used as consumable welding materials. For the welding conditions of the test specimen, welding frequencies of 2.5 and 4.5 Hz were applied using the SynchroPuls function, and the root faces were 1.0 and 1.5 mm. The mechanical properties of the MIG welds were determined through tensile, bending, and fatigue tests.

In this study, the deflection and deformation behaviours of IPN80 steel beam and column were investigated under the different industrial loads. Single-sided welds were applied to IPN80 steel beams using shielded metal arc (SMAW) and metal inert gas welding (MIG) method in the form of T-type. After that, the performance of SMAW and MIG welded joints were identified using beam bending test under 500 and 3000 N loads. SMAW and MIG methods were compared with each other to understand the deflection and deformation behaviours of the welded steel structures. Lower deformation and deflection were obtained in MIG welded steel beams. The results show that, steel beams welded MIG method has higher load capacity than SMAW welded ones. MIG welding method is more reliable than the SMAW method for the combining performance and load capacity.

Aluminum alloy, Al5083-O, is one of candidate materials for the LNG storage tank, because of its excellent weldability, cryogenic characteristics, and corrosion resistance. The good weldability of Al5083-O is very important in LNG storage tank manufacturing. In this study, high current metal inert gas(MIG) welding process was used to get one pass welding of thick plate aluminum alloy. Bead on plate(BOP) welding was performed to evaluate the effect of welding conditions on the height of bead and depth of penetration. The optimum welding conditions were derived to get one pass welding of the thickness of 14.5mm. The mechanical properties of the welded joint were evaluated. The cross-sectional macro test, tensile test, and bending test satisfied the class rule.

As a considerable, experimental approach, an autocarriage type of $CO_2$ welding machine and a MIG(metal inert gas) welding robot in the inert gas atmosphere were utilized in order to realize Al 5083 welding to hull and relevant components of green leisure ships. This study aims at investigating the effect of welding conditions(current, voltage, welding speed, etc.) on thermal deformation that occurs as welding operation and tensile characteristics after welding, by using Al 5083, nonferrous material, applied to manufacturing of eco-environmental leisure ships. With respect to welding condition to minimize the thermal deformation, 150 A and 16 V at the wire-feed rate of 6 mm/sec were acquired in the process of welding Al 5083 through an auto carriage type of $CO_2$ welding feeder. As to tensile characteristics of Al 5083 welding through a MIG welding robot, most of tensile specimens showed the fracture behavior on HAZ(heat affected zone) located at the area joined with weld metal, except for some cases. Especially, for the case of the Al specimen with 5 mm thickness, 284.62 MPa of tensile strength and 11.41 % of elongation were obtained as an actual allowable tensile stress-strain value. Mostly, after acquiring the optimum welding condition, the relevant welding data and technical requirements might be provided for actual welding operation site and welding procedure specification (WPS).

The sea water pipe of engine room in all kinds of ships is being surrounded with severe corrosive environment. Therefore it's leakage part due to corrosion is inevitably prevented by various welding method. In this case corrosion property of welded zone may be considerably different by each welding materials. In this study corrosion resistance of the welded zone of sea water pipe with some welding materials such as shielded metal arc welding materials, inert gas arc welding materials was investigated with electrochemical method.

마찰교반접합(FSW, Friction Stir Welding)은 영국 TWI에 의해 1991년에 개발되어 특허가 출원된 후 90년대 중반부터 산업에 적용되었으며, 짧은 시간동안에 실용화가 이루어졌다. 이 기술이 적용되기 전, Al 합금의 접합은 MIG(Metal Inert Gas)나 TIG(Tungsgten Inert Gas)와 같은 접합이 주로 이용되어 왔으나, 이들 접합기술은 접합부의 표면문제, 변형, 결함 등으로 인하여 Al 합금의 구조물 적용에 큰 문제점이 야기되어왔다. (중략)

Joining thin aluminum alloy is difficult using most welding techniques. Many of the problems are associated with bum-through by the high heat input. Common welding techniques are TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), MIG (Metal Inert Gas), and PULSE-MIG welding. The method provides more control of the heat balance in the welding arc by taking advantage of the different arc characteristics obtained with each of the two polarities. In this paper, we proposed a new welding method by control DSP 320C32, and the characteristic and experiment result-voltage, current, welding bead, and penetrations by this method are presented.

A tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding method was used for the bonding of stainless steel. TIG welding using inert gas (He or Ar gas) is a method to prevent oxidation and nitriding of materials and to combine non-ferrous metals. This method has the advantage of obtaining a smooth weld surface. In this study, the welding characteristics of 304 stainless steel welded by TIG welding method were analyzed by using nondestructive technique. Ultrasonic and Acoustic Emission (AE) was applied to evaluate the micro-damage of TIG welded 304 stainless steel. The velocity and damping coefficient of ultrasonic wave showed a slight difference in HAZ, which is the welding part of stainless steel. The AE parameters of average frequency, rise time and event were analyzed for the dynamic behavior of stainless steel during loading. Optimal AE parameters for evaluating the degree of damage to the specimen have been derived. Fractograph and metal structures of 304 stainless steel using SEM and optical microscope were discussed.
