The welds tent to be weakened if it is exposed to the air during the welding process. In titanium welding with Gas Tungsten Arc Welding, inappropriate colors of the welds, such as purple/red, blue, yellow, gray, white and pink represents that it is contaminated by oxygen and nitrogen in the air. Shielding gases can be used to protect welds from the contamination. In addition, Weld metal and heat affected zone (HAZ) are also shielded from the air when it is cooled down to the room temperature. In this paper, appropriate shielding gases for the shape and form of Trailing Shielding Jig and torch shielding ($13{\sim}20{\ell}/min$), after shielding ($22{\sim}30{\ell}/min$), and back shielding ($25{\sim}30{\ell}/min$) are studied.

It was attempted to improve the wear resistance of Al alloy under the load condition by making a formation of the thicker surface hardening alloy layers. The thicker surface hardening alloy layers were formed on 6061 Al alloys overlayed by MIG and TIG welding process with Cu powders feeding. The characteristics of hardening and wear resistance have been investigated in relation to the microstructures of alloyed layers, with a selection of optimum alloying conditions for formation of overlaying layer. The results obtained were summarized as follows With increasing feeding rate of Cu powders by MIG welding, the hardness and specific wear of the overlay weld alloys were increased. It is considered that these high hardness and specific wear of overlay weld alloys were due to the formation of Θ($Al_2Cu$) phases. With increasing feeding rate of Cu powders by TIG welding, the hardness and specific wear of the overlay weld alloys were increased in feeding rates 12 and 18g/min. However, the hardness and specific wear were decreased in the powder feeding rate 38g/min. It is considered that considered that decrease of hardness and specific wear in the powder feeding rate 38g/min due to formation of ${\gamma}$($Al_4Cu_9$) phases.

알루미늄과 그 합금은 항공우주산업이나 가정용 기물 밖에도 일반공업용 재료로써 차량 토목건축 조선 화학식품 전기와 원자로등 많은 공업분야에 널리 사용되고 있다. 최근에 용접법의 발전과 합금의 개발에 의하여 알루미늄 합금은 보통의 금속재료에 대하여 사용하고 있는 거의 대부분의 접합법에 의하여 용이하게 접합할 수가 있다. 그 중에서도 불활성 가스 아아크용접이 널리 사용 되고 있는 것은 주지의 사실이나 알루미늄 합금의 종류는 용도에 따라서 다양 다종이여서 그 종류에 의하여 용접성(weldability)의 난이가 있음으로 합금의 특징이나 용접부의 거동을 잘 알 고서 모재와 용가재의 선정에 충분한 주의와 세심한 관찰이 필요하다.

Friction stir welding results in low distortion and high joint strength compared with other welding procedures, and is able to join all aluminium alloys that are not considered as virtually weldable with classical liquid state techniques. The comparative study on high cycle fatigue properties between A16005-T6 friction stir welds and MIG weld joints have been performed and fracture mechanisms for the fatigue specimens were investigated. Although mechanical properties are lower than the corresponding base material, FSW joints of A16005-T6 become higher at tensile and fatigue strength in comparison with the traditional fusion weld(MIG). The fracture surfaces of FSW and MIG fatigue specimens cleary show different aspects of the fracture morphology. MIG weldments were characterized by voids and cleavage(brittle fracture) but FSW specimens showed the presence of ductile fracture surface.

GTA (Gas Tungsten Arc)용접은 불활성 분위기에서 용접이 이루어지기 때문에 타 아크용접법에 비해 용접부 품질이 우수하여 고품질이 요구되는 산업분야에 널리 이용되고 있다. 하지만 스테인리스강으로 pipe를 제조하기 위해 GTA 용접을 적용할 경우, Laser 및 고주파 용접 (HFIW)에 비해 용접부 품질 및 용접속도가 낮기 때문에 pipe를 제조하는 산업에서 적용에 제한을 받고 있다. 하지만, GTA는 laser 혹은 HFIW에 비해 가격이 1/10수준으로 낮고, 용접부 gap tolerance 및 용접면 관리범위가 넓은 장점이 있기 때문에 GTA의 용접속도 및 용접품질을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 꾸준히 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 스테인리스강 GTA용접 시 용접속도를 향상시키기 위해, 모재의 성분 제어 (합금성분 최적화-Al, S, Se, O등), Flux 도포 기술 (산화물을 용접전에 도포하여 용접속도 향상) 및 혼합보호가스 적용 등이 있다. 스테인리스강 용접 시 보호가스로는 용접부 품질을 확보하기 위해 Ar을 주로 사용하고 있다. 하지만 용입 특성을 향상시키기 위해 아크의 온도를 높일 수 있는 He, 혹은 $H_2$ gas를 단독 혹은 혼합하여 사용하고 있다. 오스테나이트계 스테인리스의 경우 용입특성을 향상시키기 위해 Ar에 $H_2$를 2~10%정도 혼합하여 사용하고 있다. 페라이트계 스테인리스강은 수소에 대한 고용도가 상대적으로 작아 용접부 수소 취화를 일으킬 수 있기 때문에 적용에 제한을 받고 있어 그 대안으로 산소를 극히 소량을 혼합하여 용입성 향상에 대한 연구가 보고 되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 페라이트계 스테인리스강의 용입특성을 향상시킬 목적으로 Ar에 산소를 미량 첨가 (1%미만) 하여 용접전류 및 산소 함량에 따른 용입특성의 변화에 대해 연구하였다. 또한 기계적인 물성 및 부식특성을 평가하였고, 최종적으로 실용화 가능성을 파악하기 위해 용접전극의 수명 테스트를 실시하였다. 실시한 결과, 산소가 첨가량 증가 할수록 용입특성은 상승하였으며, 기계적인 물성 또한 산소를 첨가하지 않은 경우에 비해 거의 유사한 값을 얻을 수 있었다, 하지만 산소함량이 증가 할수록 전극의 수명은 감소하여 교체주기가 증가함을 알 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 기술을 상용화시키기에는 극복해야할 문제가 있지만, 소재 합금성분 설계 시 용접생산성 향상위한 산소성분 범위를 제시할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

As a considerable, experimental approach, an Auto-carriage type of $CO_2$ welding machine and a MIG(Metal Inert Gas) welding robot under inert gas atmosphere were utilized in order to realize Al 5083 welding applied to hull and relevant components of green Al 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, non-ferrous material, applied to manufacturing of co-environmental Al leisure ships. With respect to welding condition to minimize the thermal deformation, 150A and 16V at the wire-feed rate of 6mm/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 5mm thickness, 284.62MPa 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).

In this study, the experiments were carried out for the purpose of establishment of the arc sparing method which reducing oxides or oxide film by using the inert gas as the carrier gas of atomizing particles. Main results obtained are as follows; 1. Oxides and oxide film which lower the adhesion strength are largely reduced by using the inert gas as the carrier gas of atomizing particles, and adhesion strength of coating film are improved. 2. The coating film characteristics appear to be no difference between the inert gas arc spraying in air environment and that in argon gas environment. 3. Inert gas arc spraying using argon as the carrie gas has higher reduction rate of composition element in coating film than compressed air spraying does.
