Fracture toughness({TEX}$J_{IC}${/TEX}) on 304 austenitic stainless steel weldments artificially degraded for long period under SCC environments were evaluated to investigate its reliability and environmental characteristics. Electro-chemical polarization tests were previously carried out to evaluate corrosion susceptiblility of weldment, and stress corrosion cracking was tested under various conditions of 3.5wt.% NaCl solution, the temperature of $25^{\circ}$C and $95^{\circ}$C, and oxygen concentration during 3000hours. From the results obtained, it was found that 304 stainless steel weldment was so susceptible under high temperature and high oxygen concentration of 3.5wt.% NaCl solution, and fracture toughness({TEX}$J_{IC}${/TEX}) was also considerably reduced by material degradation.

The characteristics of the stress corrosion cracking of SUS 304 stainless steel weldments were studied with the speciments of the constant displacement type under the environment of 42% MgC $l_{2}$ boiled solution (143.+.-.2.deg.C). The susceptibility of initiation and propagation of the stress corrosion crack was quantitatively inspected in the weld metal, heat affected zone and heat affected zone with including the reinforcement shape, respectively. Also, those susceptibility were discussed in connection with the change of mechanical and microstructural characteristics caused by heating cycle of welding. Main results obtained are as follows: (1)Stress corrosion cracking is easiest to initiate and propagate in the heat affected zone of weldment. (2)The susceptibility of stress corrosion cracking of the weldment is largely improved by eliminating the reinforcement part of the weld bead. (3)The dominant factor of the cracking susceptibility of the heat affected zone appeared to be the phenomenon of softening and sensitizing caused by welding heat cycle. (4)Under the low loading conditions, the behavior of stress corrosion cracking of the SUS 304 steel weldment is largely influenced by the pitting phenomenon in the front region of the main crack.

Integranular corrosion behaviors of KAL (Knife Line Attack) and mechanical properties such as tensile and creep rupture were investigated for the tube material used for nearly 20 years under the condition of 463.deg. C and 28 $kg/cm^2$. Based and weld metal were austenitic stainless steel AISI 321 containing Ti, AISI 347 containing Nb, respectively. KLA is a kind of the intergranular corrosion which often occurs just near the HAZ (heat affected zone) of AISI 321 and AISI 347 stainless steel due to the grain boundary sensitization. In KLA zone, intergranular corrosion crack has propagated outwards from the inner surface and carbides of white and narrow band type assuming as (Cr, Fe) carbide were confirmed. All the delta-ferrite formed in the weld metal during weld solidification has been transformed into sigma-phase since delta-ferrte was exposed for 20 years at 463.deg. C. Elongation was very low at the range from room temperature to 600.deg. C and it was confirmed that creep-rupture properties were not consideralbly affected.

DMWs are common feature of the PWR in the welded connections between carbon steel and stainless steel piping. The nickel-based weld metal, Alloy 82/182, is used for welding the dissimilar metals and is known to be susceptible to PWSCC. A round-robin program has been implemented to benchmark the numerical simulation of the transient temperature and weld residual stresses in the DMWs. To solve the round-robin problem related to Pressurizer Safety & Relief nozzle, the thermal elasto-plastic analysis is performed in the DMW by using the FEM. The welding includes both the DMW of the nozzle to safe-end and the SMW of the safe-end and piping. Major results of the analyses are discussed: The axial and circumferential residual stresses are found to be -88MPa(225MPa) and -38MPa(293MPa) on the inner surface of the DMW; where the values in parenthesis are the residual stresses after the DMW. Thermo-mechanical interaction by the SMW has a significant effect on the residual stress fields in the DMW.

This study examined the mechanical strength and corrosion resistance of a dissimilar joint with an aluminum alloy and steel by resistance element spot welding. SPFC980 steels and Al5052 alloys were applied as the base materials. S20C steels were assembled on Al5052 for the riveting element before the electric resistance welding process. The SPFC980-S20C riveted Al5052 was welded at a 6.5 kA current and 250 kgf/㎠. As a result, the engraved S20C elements formed unstable nuggets after the spot welding processes. In contrast, in the embossed S20C elements, exceptional mechanical properties, such as robust corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance, were obtained by structurally sound joints. The correlation between the microstructure and mechanical properties were examined by microstructural investigations and FEM simulations. The corrosion reliability of element spot-welded SPFC980-Al5052 dissimilar joints was investigated systematically.

It is much expected that steel bridges, which have been damaged by increase of vehicle load and corrosion, need repair or strengthening. In this paper, the stress generated by repair welding under loading are analyzed by three dimensional elasto-plastic analyses. The longer and deeper repair weld line bocemes, the larger the magnitude of transient stress becomes. The magnitude of transient stress generated by repair welding under loading $({\sigma}_y/3,\;{\sigma}_a)$ is similar to summation of stresses generated by repair welding and loading. The longer repair weld line ratio(1/b) becomes, the larger the magnitude of transient stress generated by repair welding under loading bocomes. And, the longer repair weld line ratio(1/b) becomes, the larger the magnitude of in-plane displacement generated by repair welding under loading$({\sigma}_y/3,\;{\sigma}_a)$.

Weld overlay is one of the residual stress mitigation methods which arrest crack initiation and crack growth. Therefore weld overlay can be applied to the region where cracking is likely to be. An overlay weld used in this manner is termed a preemptive weld overlay(PWOL). In pressurized water reactor(PWR) dissimilar metal weld is susceptible region for primary water stress corrosion cracking(PWSCC). In order to examine the effect of PWOL on residual stress mitigation, PWOL was applied to a specific dissimilar metal weld of Kori nuclear power plant by finite element analysis method. As a result, strong compressive residual stress was made in PWSCC susceptible region and PWOL was proved effective preemptive repair method for weldment.

선박의 건조과정에서 필수적으로 선체 외판에는 선박의 안전과 운항 및 정비 등에 필요한 정보를 나타내기 위해 다양한 종류의 마크 및 문자가 마킹되어진다. 하지만, 단순한 도장 작업만으로는 해상과 같은 부식 환경에서 마크 및 문자가 쉽게 지워지거나 손상되기 때문에 마크 및 문자를 용접 비드(welding bead)로 표시하거나 미리 절단된 강판(steel plate)을 수동으로 용접한 뒤 도장을 함으로써 마크 및 문자의 손상을 방지하고 있다. 이러한 문자마킹작업을 하기 위해서는 작업자가 수작업으로 기준선과 마크 및 문자의 위치를 먹줄 등을 이용하여 마킹을 하고, 해당 마크 및 문자의 템플렛(template)을 이용하여 펀칭을 실시한 후 수동으로 용접을 실시한다. 하지만, 수작업을 통한 선체외판 문자마킹 작업은 작업자의 기량에 따라 품질이 상이하여 품질 저하의 원인이 된다. 또한 대조립 및 탑재 단계에서 문자 마킹 작업시 수직자세의 용접을 요구함으로써 작업자가 안전사고에 노출되어 있으며, 선박의 각 단계별 주요 공정보다 작업시간이 길어져 전체 선박 건조공정을 지연시키는 문제점 등을 야기시킬 수 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 조선업계에서는 선체 외판의 마크 및 문자를 자동으로 용접할 수 있는 장치를 개발하기 위해 노력해왔으며, 몇몇 개발 사례가 보고되고 있다. 하지만, 그 실효성 부분에서는 아직까지 해결하지 못한 문제점들로 인해 현장 적용에는 어려움을 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 선박외판 문자 자동용접장치의 기능성뿐만 아니라 현업 적용성을 가장 우선적으로 고려하여 문자마킹장치(Marking Robot for Shipbuilding) 개발을 진행하였다. 우선, 적절한 용접 재료를 선정하기 위해서 솔리드 와이어(Solid Wire)와 플럭스 코어드 와이어(Flux Cored Wire)에 대한 비드온 용접(Bead-On Welding)을 아래보기자세와 수직자세에 대해서 실시하여 적절한 용접 조건을 설정하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 문자마킹 자동용접장치는 3축으로 구성되어 있으며 각 축들을 분리할 수 있도록 개발하여 이동성을 향상시켰으며, 작업면과 용접토치간의 거리를 일정하게 유지시킬 수 있도록 용접전류 센서(Welding Current Sensor)를 이용하여 토치 높이(Wire Extension)를 제어함으로써 균일한 품질의 용접비드를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 문자마킹 자동용접장치는 본체 구동부와 제어부(Touch Screen)가 쉽게 분리되고 장착이 가능한 구조로 개발되었으며, 용접시 각 용접자세별로 용접전압, 전류 그리고 용접속도 설정이 가능하여 아래보기 자세뿐만 아니라 어떠한 자세에서도 같은 모양의 비드형상을 가지는 문자마킹용접이 가능하도록 개발하였으며, 이는 실험과 현장적용을 통해 검증하였다.

In the present paper, we evaluate the effects of the safe-end length and thickness of the similar metal weld (SMW) of safety injection nozzles on stress distributions at the dissimilar metal weld (DMW). For this evaluation, we carry out detailed 2-D axisymmetric finite element analyses by considering four different values of the safe-end length and four different values of the thickness of SMW. Based on the results obtained, we found that the SMW thickness affects the axial stresses at the center of the DMW for the shorter safe-end length; on the other hand, it does not affect the hoop stresses. In terms of the safe-end length, the values of the axial and hoop stresses at the inner surface of the DMW center increase as the safe-end length increases. In particular, for the cases considered in the present study, the stress distributions at the DMW center can be categorized according to certain values of safe-end length.
