Recently, many studies for developing the underwater welding techniques have been carried out in the advanced countries as a manufacturing process and a repairing method according as a great deal of interest in development for various marine industrial fields has been gradually increased. But no study on such underwater welding is available at present in our country. In this study, underwater welding was carried out for welding of domestic structural steel plates (SM41A) of 10 mm thickness, using six types of domestic coated arc welding electrodes on a self-made gravity type underwater welding device, resulting in investigation for the underwater weldability of the domestic structural steel plates as well as for the underwater welding properties and practicability of the domestic welding electrodes.

Wet underwater arc welding process is investigated by using experimentally developed flux coated underwater arc welding electrode and SS400 steel plate of 12mm thickness as base metal. Three kinds of different flux covered wet arc welding electrode of 4mm diameter(BK-01, BK-02, BK-03) are individually developed, and one of the improved underwater welding electrode (BK-03) may be put to practical use for underwater wet arc welding process. The results obtained from this experimental study are as follows : 1. Arc stability of developed underwater wet welding electrode is better than that of the domestic covered arc welding electrode. 2. Workability of welding electrode, remove ability of slag and bead appearances using improved underwater wet welding electrode are remarkably better than that of others. 3. Heat affected zone of test specimen welded in the underwater gets to become a lot smaller than that of test specimen welded in the air, and the maximum hardness of heat affect zone of developed underwater wet welding electrode is lower to that of domestic arc welding electrode.

The sea water pipe of a ship's engine room is a severely corrosive environment caused by fast flawing sea water containing chloride ions and high conductivity. Therefore, leaking of sea water may occur as a result of local corrosion of the welded zone. Leaking is usually controlled by various welding methods. In this study, when the sea water pipe is welded with certain welding methods and welding electrodes, the corrosion resistance of WM (Welding metal) and HAZ (Heat affected zone) was investigated using electrochemical methods. Although the corrosion potential of the HAZ is higher than that of WM, the corrosion resistance of WM is superior to HAZ. However, when WM and HAZ are both opened to the sea water, the WM part with the anode was more seriously corroded than was the HAZ of the cathode by performance of a galvanic cell due to difference of the corrosion potential between HAZ and WM. In particular TIG welding showed relatively good results in corrosion resistance of both HAZ and WM compared to other welding methods.

발전설비를 비롯한 산업설비, 각종 압력용기 및 철구조물 제작시 발생하는 여러가지의 용접불량 중에서 슬래그 혼입이 차지하는 비율이 전체 불량의 절반 이상을 차지하고 있다. 특히 여타의 용접법에 비해 SMAW에 의한 슬래그 혼입의 발생이 가장 많으므로 이에 대한 결함 발생의 경향을 조사하고 그 방지대책을 설정하기 위하여 이번 실험을 실시하게 되었다. 수동 용접봉의 피복제 중 가스 발생 원인은 아아크 분위기를 생성하고 기타 부분은 슬래그가 되어 용융금속을 둘러싸서 이것을 보호하면서 용융지로 이행한다. 슬래그는 용융지 내에서 비이드 표면으로 부상하면서 탈산반응이나 불순물을 제거하는 정련작용을 한다. 또한 적당한 합금 원소의 보충, 용융금속의 유동성 증가 등에 의하여 양호한 용착금속의 생성을 돕는다. 한편, 슬래그는 고온금속을 덮어 이것을 보호함과 동시에 급냉을 완화하는 작용을 한다. 그러나 이러한 슬래그가 응고하는 용착금속 사이에 혼입된다면 용착금속의 기계적 성질을 저하시키는 중요한 요인이 된다. 슬래그 혼입에 대하여 간단하고 일반적인 방지대책은 많이 언급되어 있으나 슬래그 혼입의 방지대책에 대해 깊이 있는 연구가 거의 없다. 이번 실험에서는 광범위한 요인의 선제, 싯수의 제안으로 인하여 새로운 슬래그 혼입 기구의 설정이나 특정한 요인의 영향에 대한 정확한 한계치의 설정보다는 각 요인에 대한 정성적인 영향을 분석하였다.

Flux cored arc welding (FCAW), which is used widely in many fields, such as shipyards, bridge structures, construction machinery, and plant industry, is an alternative to shielded metal arc welding (SMAW). FCAW is used largely in the welding of carbon and alloy steel because it can be welded in all poses and obtain excellent quality in the field under a range of working conditions. In this study, the mechanical properties of welded parts were analyzed after different welding of SS400 and SM490A using FCAW. The following conclusions were drawn. The tensile test results satisfied the KS standard tensile strength in the range of 400~510 N/mm2 in all welding positions. The bending test confirmed that most of the specimens did not show surface breakage or other defects during bending and exhibited sufficient toughness, even after plastic deformation. The hardness test results were lower than the standard value of 350 Hv of KS B 0893. Similar to the hardness test, were greater than the KS reference value. The macro test revealed no internal flaws, non-metallic inclusions, bubbles or impurities on the entire cross section of the weld, and there were no concerns regarding lamination.

Demand of the clean and convenient natural gas has continuously increased with recognizing of the environment problem since liquefied natural gas was introduced in Korea. Clean fuel natural gas was supplied to each city through high tensile strength pipeline connected by welding. Grades of pipeline were divided into the high and middle pressure according to supply pressure. Pipeline was welded mainly SMA welding process due to its easy handling, the other welding process was adopted according to the constructing condition. We were examined on the microstructure variation and mechanical properties of weld metal for high pressure pipeline, API 5L X-42.

In this paper, we proposed AC/DC boost converter to improve input current harmonic reduction in SMAW(shielded metal-arc welding). The proposed harmonic reduction with the boost converter design and the UC2854 integrated circuit which controls the converter, The topology of welding power supply is made of a pair of boost converter and welder half-bridge IGBT inverter. The voltage arc is modeled by a variable resistance in series with a voltage source. The results has been confirmed by PSIM simulation tool. The simulation results show that input at current is nearly sinusoidal with low harmonic contents and sinusoidal input current waveform at high power factor.

This paper reports mild steel(SPHC) and stainless steel(STS304) sheets commonly used for railroad cars or commercial vehicles such as in the automobile and shipbuilding industries. The sheets are used in these applications, which are mainly fabricated using the shielded metal arc welding(SMAW) of dissimilar materials. It also reports an interesting application of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy(LIBS) in order to determine the elemental composition diffusion of SPHC and STS304. Arc blow produced by magnetic force during the electric arc welding prevents the formation from a sound weldment. In particular, the mechanical properties of the joint are influenced by not only by geometrical and mechanical factors but also the welding conditions for the arc welded joint. Therefore, the mechanical properties and performance are evaluated by performing a physicochemical component analysis. And they increase in accordance with content of elements and microstructure in mild steel. As results, appropriate range for magnetic fields could be achieved. Therefore, the effect of magnetic force in a butt weld of mild steel plates was investigated by comparing to the measured data.
