Study on Welding Deformation for Side Shell Structure of VLCC

VLCC 선종의 외판에 나타나는 용접변형에 대한 고찰

A ship owner has been disappointed with the wrinkle, phenomenon visually occurring at the side shell structure of VLCC(very large crude oil carrier). In order to solve this problem, we have firstly performed a variety of actual measurements. Furthermore, comparing the welding deformation level of DSME(Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd.) with that of SHI(Samsung Heavy Industries), the superiority of deformation control level of Korean shipyard has been substantiated.
