Variation of the spray droplet velocity with spraying distance and the microstructural characteristics of spray deposits fromed by oxy-fuel thermal spraying with Ni-base alloy powder contained chrome boride for hard facing were examined. Measurements of spray droplet velocity as a function of distance from the nozzle tip were inexcellent agreement with computer simulated predictions. Optimum condition for thermal spray deposits in this experiment was found to be under #10kg/cm^2$ of acceleration gas pressure with 15cm of spraying distance. Fine microstructure and higher microhardness of the initial part of the deposits due to rapid solidification were found to be able to maintained in a thickness up to 0.4mm, and this initial microstructure and properties could be maintained throughout the thickness of a thick spray deposits by performing the multipass spraying with 0.4mm thickness of each pass.

The effect of microstructure on the fracture toughness of multi pass weld metal has been investigated. The micromechanisms of fracture process are identified by in-situ scanning electron microscopy(SEM) fracture observation using single edge notched specimen. The notches of the in-situ fracture specimens were carefully located such that the ends of the notches were in the as-deposited top bead and the reheated weld metal respectively. The observation of in-situ fracture process for as-deposited top bead indicated that as strains are applied, microcracks are formed at the interfaces between soft proeutectoid ferrite and acicular ferrite under relatively low stress intensity factor. Then, the microcracks propagate easily along the proeutectoid ferrite phase, leading to final fracture. These findings suggest that proeutectoid ferrite plays an important role in reducing the toughness of the weld metal. On the other hand, reheated regions showed that the microcrack initiated at the notch tip grows along the localized shear bands under relatively high stress intensity factor, confirming that reheated area showing momogeneous and fine microstructure would be beneficial to the fracture resistance of weld metal.

The A106 Gr B low carbon steel, which was used in the electric power plants and heavy chemical plants, was welded by multi-pass arc welding. The heat affected zone (HAZ) formed by welding was corroded in acid chloride solution, or in saturated $H_2S$ containing acid chloride solution, or in saturated $H_2S$ containing acid chloride solution under applied current. In this order of corrosion solution, the rate of corrosion increased, because $H_2S$ accelerated the iron dissolution, hydrogen evolution, and the formation of nonprotective FeS, whereas the applied current accelerated the electrochemical reaction. The scales formed in acid chloride solution consisted primarily of $Fe_3O_4$, while those formed in $H_2S$ containing acid chloride solution consisted primarily of $Fe_3O_4$ and FeS.

There are many types of seam tracking methods actually used in industrial spot. Lately, Non-contact sensor technics are mostly used because non-contact sensor has more advantage than contact sensor in many parts. This paper also concerned about fiber sensor a kind of non-contact sensor. X-Y robot and fiber sensor scan the seam tracking to be weld. After scanning, X-Y robot moves the first working point of being scanned and welding starts automatically. It makes an experiment on some types of Seam tracking like straight line tracking, leaned line tracking and curved line tracking to confirm how well the fibers sensor tracks the seam pass to be weld. And the seam pass that had been tracked was welded by inverter $CO_2$ voiding machine.

TIG 용접은 고품질이고 용접인자의 제어가 쉽고 정확하다는 장점이 있지만, 얕은 용입과 낮은 생산성과 같은 단점이 있다. TIG 오비탈 용접에서는 용입의 한계 때문에 작은 루트면과 넓은 그루브를 가공하여 다층 용접을 하며, 루트패스에서는 파이프 진원도에 의한 핏업 시 단차의 문제가 자주 발생하여 많은 현장에서 루트갭을 만들어 수동 용접하는 실정이다. 따라서 생산성이 낮으며 생산 단가가 높고 용접 품질이 작업자에 따라 다르게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하여 자동 오비탈 용접을 위해 단차를 흡수 할 수 있는 용접 공정 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 TIG 용접에서 단차에 따른 용접성을 검토하여 이를 맞대기 용접에 적용했을 때 균일한 이면비드를 얻는 공정을 개발하는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 아래보기 자세에서 단차에 따른 용입 특성을 이면비드 및 단면으로 비교 분석하였다. 단차 없이 아크길이만 1mm, 2mm, 3mm로 변경하여 실험한 결과 아크길이가 짧아질수록 표면비드 폭은 좁아졌고 이면비드 폭은 증가하는 경향을 나타내어 아크길이가 짧아질수록 용융효율이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 단차 1mm에서 아크길이 3mm를 제외하고 표면비드 및 이면비드가 미려하였다. 하지만 단차 2mm에서는 아크길이 1mm, 2mm, 3mm 전부 이면비드가 생성되지 않았다. 이는 단차로 인해 아크길이가 증가하여 용융효율이 낮아졌기 때문이라 판단된다. 이면비드가 생성되지 못한 시험편을 백 베벨링(0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm)하여 실험한 결과 단차 2mm, 아크길이 1-3mm 백 베벨링 2.0mm 적용한 시험편에서 양호한 이면비드를 얻을 수 있었다.

The welding has a high proportion of the production and drying of ships or offshore plants. Non-destructive testing is carried out to verify the quality of welds in Korea, radiography test (RT) is mainly used. Currently, most shipyards adopt analog-type techniques to print the films through the shoot of welding parts. Therefore, the time required from radiography test to pass or fail judgment is long and complex, and is being manually carried out by qualified inspectors. To improve this problem, this paper covers a platform for scanning and digitalizing RT films occurring in shipyards with high resolution, accumulating them in management servers, and applying artificial intelligence (AI) technology to detect welding defects. To do this, we describe the process of designing and developing RT film scanning equipment, welding inspection information integrated management platform, fault reading algorithms, visualization software, and testing and verification of each developed element in conjunction.

When the low temperature service steels are used as materials for welded structure, some problems-brittleness and weld cracking, etc.-occur in welded part due to the change of mechanical and metallurgical characteristics resulted from the thermal cycle during the welding procedure. In this study, the experiments were conducted to investigate the change of mechanical and metallurgical characteristics of the welded part for the low temperature and high pressure service steels. Moreover, the Static and Dynamic Implant Test Method was introduced to this study in order to find out the mechnism of weld cracking. In addition, the fracture toughnesses of welded bond were inspected under the various low temperature environments. Main results obtained are as follows; 1) The effect of the hydrogen on the fatigue characteristics of the weld bond can be estimated by the new self-contrived Dynamic Implant Test equipment. 2) The fine micro-structure and low hardness in the heat affected zone can be obtained by the small heat input multi-pass welding. 3) The susceptibility of the delayed cracking is largely affected by the condition of used electrode. 4) The transition temperature of the fracture surface in weld bond appears to be higher 20 .deg. C than that in base metal.

Metallurgical factors influencing toughness of the Intercritically Reheated Coarse-Grained Heat Affected Zone (ICCG HAZ) of multiple welded SA508-cl.3 Reactor Pressure Vessel Steel were evaluated. The recrystallized austenite formed along the prior austenite grain boundaries and late interfaced on heating to the intercritical range was transformed to bainite and/or martensite during cooling. The newly formed martensite always included some retained austenite(M-A constituents). The characteristics(amount, hardness, density, and size) of M-A constituents were found to be strongly associated with both peak temperature and cooling time(△t8/5(2)) of last pass. Toughness in the ICCG HAZ was deteriorated with increasing amount of M-A constituents which was increased with increasing the last peak temperature within the intercritical temperature range. Meanwhile, for the same intercritical peak temperature, toughness was decreased with increasing cooling time. When cooling time was short, the dominant factor influencing toughness of the ICCG HAZ was amount of M-A constituents. However, when cooling time was lengthened, the hardness difference between M-A constituents and softened matrix(tempered martensite) was found to be the dominant factor.

The $CO_2$ laser cladding was conducted on an AC2B alloy with feeding Fe-based powders. A powder feeding rate (PFR) and a travel velocity were related with the cracks adjacent to the Fe/Al interface. Preheating temperature was varied to study the interface crack. Preheating to $250^{\circ}C$ during the laser cladding suppressed the interface crack ratio (ICR). The ICR was limited for the single pass clad and the reciprocating test for the slide wear was conducted on an overlay cladding experiment. Comparing with no overlap overlay, the overlay clad with 50% overlap showed better wear resistance.

In nuclear power plants, ferritic low alloy steel components were connected with austenitic stainless steel piping system through alloy 82/182 butt weld. There have been incidents recently where cracking has been observed in the dissimilar metal weld. Alloy 82/182 is susceptible to primary water stress corrosion cracking. Weld-induced residual stress is main factor for crack growth. Therefore exact estimation of residual stress is important for reliable operating. This paper presents residual stress computation performed by 6" safety & relief nozzle. Based on 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional finite element analyses, effect of welding variables on residual stress variation is estimated for sensitivity analysis.
