In a $CO_2$ inverter welding machine, stable arcs can be generated and a welding performance that is a goal of welding can be improved when stable electric power with a low voltage and a high current is supplied to a electrode that is the secondary part (output load terminal) and the base metal. For such a stable power supply, therefore, the AC arc welding machine, the thyristor welder, and the inverter welder have been developed in order according to development of the power electronics techniques. Up to now, the thyristor welding machine is still broadly used but the application volume is gradually reduced by development of the inverter welder. Because the welding performance of the inverter welder is very good and the weight and size of the welder is remarkably light and small. The final goal of this research is to develop the voltage loss compensator that is a drawback of the inverter welder and improve the welding performance using the developed compensator.

The transformer used in an inverter type arc welding machine is designed to use high frequency in order to reduce its size and cost. Also, selecting core materials that fit frequency is important because core loss increases in a high frequency band. An inrush current can occur in the primary coil of transformer during arc welding and this inrush current can cause IGBT, the switching element, to burn out. The transformer design was carried out in $A_P$ method and amorphous core was used to reduce the size of transformer. In addition, sheet coil was used for primary winding and secondary winding coil considering the skin effect. This paper designed the transformer core with an air gap to prevent IGBT burnout due to the inrush current during welding and proposed the optimum air gap length.

The metal transfer of CO2 arc welding machine can be devided into short-circuit(low current) metal transfer. Especially in large crrent region, the main problem of CO2 arc welding machine is much spatter generation which is caused by mainly instant short-circuit matal transfer. So in this paper descrives new current control method in large current region, which can improve welding performance and lessen spatter generation. And as a result of experiment, the effect of proposed control method is demonstrated.

일반적으로 아크용접기의 정류기로 다이오드정류기가 사용되고 있다. 이것의 문제점은 높은 고조파전류가 발생된다는 것이고 아울러 전원측의 오염문제를 야기한다. 본 논문에서는 PWM 컨버터를 사용함으로써 아크용접기의 입력특성이 개선됨을 보인다. 회로구조상 다이오드 정류기와 PWM컨버터로 대체되고 부하단에 안정적인 전력을 공급하기 위하여 직류단전압이 PI제어기에 의해 제어된다. PI 제어기가 직류단 전압제어를 위해 사용되는 경우 예측불가능한 용접부하의 특성상 높은 전압맥동성분이 발생된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전압제어기의 속응성을 개선하기 위하여 전향보상기가 도입되었고 이의 분석을 통하여 전압제어기의 외란으로 간주되는 부하전류의 변동이 전압의 맥동성분에 영향을 줄이는 이론적 예측을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 검증한다.

최근 전력전자기술 및 인버터 회로의 다양한 제어기법의 발달에 따라서 용접기 분야에서의 용접성능 향상에 관한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있으며 특히{{{{ { CO}_{2 } }} 아크 용접기의 경우 용접성능을 좌우하는 스패터 발생을 최소화 하는 기법이 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 그러나 현재까지는 용접기의 출력전압을 정전압으로 제어하는 방식을 사용함에 따라 용접기의 금속이행과정을 임의로 제어하는 것이 불가능하였고, 특히 스패터가 다량으로 발생하는 저전류영역의 금속이행과정인 단락이행에서의 스패터 저감을 기대하기가 어려웠다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 마이크로프로세서를 이용한 인버터 출력전류의 파형제어기법을 사용하여 인버터 아크 용접기의 출력전류를 순시적으로 제어함에 의하여 스패터 저감, 단락주기의 안정화 및 순간단락현상 감소의 측면에서 용접성능을 개선위한 연구를 수행하였고 이상의 연구에 대한 결과를 제시하였고, 또한 인버터 아크 용접기의 AC/DC 전력변환장치로 SMR(Switched Mode Rectifier)를 사용하여 시스템을 단위역율로 운전하였으며 입력전류의 저차 고조파 억제효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

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.

Welding characteristics of austienite 304 stainless and SM45C using a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser n experimentally investigated Laser beam welding is increasingly being used in welding of structural steels. The laser welding process is one of the most advanced manufacturing technologies owing to its high speed and deep penetration. The thermal cycles associated with laser welding are generally much Inter than those involved in conventional welding processes, leading to a rather small weld zone. Experiments are performed for 304 stainless steel plates changing several process parameter such as laser power, welding speed, shielding gas flow rate, presence of surface pollution, with fixed or variable gap and misalignment between the similar and dissimilar and plates, etc. The Nd:YAG laser welding process is one of the most advanced manufacturing technologies owing to its high speed and penetration. This paper describes the weld ability of SM45C carbon steel for machine structural use by Nd:YAG laser. The follow conclusions can be drawn that laser power and welding speed have a pronounced effect on size and shape of the fusion zone. Increase in welding speed resulted in an increase in weld depth/aspect ratio and hence a decrease in the fusion zone size. The penetration depth increased with the increase in laser power.

Welding fabrication invariantly involves three district sequential steps: preparation, actual process execution and post-weld inspection. One of the major problems in automating these steps and developing autonomous welding system is the lack of proper sensing strategies. Conventionally, machine vision is used in robotic arc welding only for the correction of pre-taught welding paths in single pass. However, in this paper, multipass tracking more than single pass tracking is performed by conventional seam tracking algorithm and developed one. And tracking performances of two algorithm are compared in multipass tracking. As the result, tracking performance in multi-pass welding shows superior conventional seam tracking algorithm to developed one.
