SCR(Thyristor) type $CO_2$ welders have widely used for the welding process of heavy industries such as shipbuilding and plant. Since the industrial fields of shipbuilding and plant are usually exposed to severe welding condition with lots of dust, extreme temperature, high humidity and vibration, it is not recommended to use inverter type welder despite its state-of-the-art technology. Many sophisticated functions in the inverter welder may not work due to malfunction of its sensitive components. Hence this study focused on digitalization of SCR $CO_2$ welder by making use of microprocessor for SCR phase control. By this application, fine control of output of the $CO_2$ welding systems is achieved. Also pulse output mode of operation is realized and its verification is carried out with aluminum sample welding. The experimental results showed sound weld bead. The front operation panel provide user with numerical parameter settings and monitors. It will help precise weld process monitoring and control with digital value.

We know that the piezoelectric constant d, the dielectric constant, and the electric-mechanical coupling coefficient affect the output for piezoelectric ceramics used in ultrasonic welders. Therefore, in this study, the characteristics of ceramics according to the changes of additives to the components of PZT-PMN-PZW were examined. When the addition amount of $MnO_2$ was 2 wt%, the most excellent properties were shown, which suggested the applicability as a material for fusion welding.

Power cable of an AC arc welder can surround a body of worker at the moment of welding. Applying the boundary element method, we calculated current densities induced in organs inside a worker in case he weared a multi-layer shielding cloth. We know these were lowest when high permeability materials such as silicon and permalloy were applied to the interior of a suit and high conductivity materials such as copper were to the exterior.

In this paper, the welding characteristics of inverter arc welder for energy saving is presented. OC arc, pulsed arc and high-frequency arc are compared on the basis of welding characteristics and energy saving. Especially, Superposition of pulsed arc and high-frequency arc is researched. According to the simulation and experimental result, Superposition method is superior to ohters in the aspect of energy saving and welding characteristics without defect.

It is generally used the boost converter for the welding machine using fuel cell. But this type generates the duplicate loss between boost converter and inverter. As a result, the whole efficiency is lower than conventional inverter arc welder and the cost is expensive due to additional switching device. Therefore, we proposed the inverter rectification type DC-DC converter with boost converter function in fuel cell based TIG welder. The performance of the proposed technique is evaluated on a 1.2kW fuel cell stack based experimental prototype circuit.

Weldability of Mg alloy was investigated using servo-actuated DC resistance spot welder. Due to its uncommon electrical and mechanical properties, lots of voids and cracks were observed inside nugget with conventional weld schedule. Lobe curve was proposed to clarify proper electrode force and weld current, which guarantee reasonable weld strength and fatigue life. Macro structure of sectioned specimen was examined to count total number of void and crack. Post weld schedule is also proposed to reduce micro victors hardness value of weld zone.

PI(proportional-integral) controller has been extensively used in the industrial field. But in practicle case, it is difficult to tune PI gains. Evolution Strategy(ES) is used as an effective search algorithm in optimization programs. In this paper we proposed a PI controller for Spot welder system using ES with varying search space. ES with varying search space which depends on fitness values at each generation is used to tune PI control parameters. Simulation results show the proposed algorithm has accurate and robust performance with effective search ability.

As rapid growth of energy demand in line with modern society's industrialization led to environmental pollution by fossil fuels, there are more and more interest and international research on energization of water, which is clean energy and comprising $70\%$ of earth. In offshore countries, the water is commercially used already and water has very attractive characteristics in terms of economy and efficiency compared to the existing gas welder. Brown Gas welder does not produce $CO_2$ from combustion of Hydrogen-Oxygen-Gas, which was gained by electrolysis of water, In this paper, the result from operating characteristic improvement of Gas Generator and Current-Controlled converter is to be considered into design in electrode, source/ controller, standized into level of whole system design base.

In recent years, A PWM Converter or Switched Mode Converter with high power factor and sinusoidal input current have got widespread studied. But, Almost all of studies is based on linear load. This paper reports on research aimed at achieving high power factor and sinusoidal input current waveform for electronic arc welder, which has nonlinear dynamic characteristics. It is shown that simulation result yield its property.
