최근 컨테이너선은 점차 대형화되고 있으며, 이에 따라 선체의 외판 상부의 철판 두께도 최대 80mm 까지 설계되고 있다. 블록 외판의 수직 맞대기 용접의 경우 고능률 용접기법인 Electro Gas Weldig(이하 EGW)이 적용되고 있으나, 극 후판의 경우, 기존의 한 개의 전극만으로는 적용 가능한 두께 범위의 한계가 있어 수직 맞대기 용접의 용접생산을 향상시키기 위해 2개의 전극을 사용하는 탄뎀 EGW 기법에 의한 시공법이 고려되었다. 탄뎀 EGW 기법의 시공법에 관한 보고서는 국내외에서 많이 발표되어져 왔다. 하지만 실선 적용에 있어 두께 80mm, 길이 2M 이상의 철판을 안정적으로 용접하기 위한 장애요소는 용접 중 적절한 슬래그의 배출 조절이다. 두개의 용접 와이어를 동시에 공급할 때 발생하는 슬래그를 균형있게 배출하지 못하는 경우 용융, 금속 상부에 적층되는 슬래그의 양이 증가하게 되고, 아크는 불안해져서 전극팁에의 슬래그 부착, 전극 팁의 발열 등에 의한 요인들이 송급을 불안하게 하여 연속 용접이 어려워진다. 본 연구에서는 탄뎀 EGW 기법을 실제로 현업에 적용하기 위해서는 안정적인 슬래그 배출에 착안하여 동당금의 형상에 따라 슬래그의 배출 성능을 확인하고 형상별 전류, 전압 파형을 측정하고, 파형 결과에 따라 아크 안정성을 평가함으로서 탄뎀 EGW 용접기법에 적정한 동당금을 설계한 결과를 소개하고자 하였다.

Finite element analysis and welding experiments were performed to evaluate deformation aspect for Flux Cored Arc Welding(FCAW) and Electro Gas Welding(EGW). Numerical researches of FCAW and EGW were performed considering the difference of number of welding pass and welding direction to arc flow. To perform the numerical study of FCAW and EGW, number of welding pass and welding direction to arc flow were considered in the finite element model. FCAW process requires multi pass and its welding direction is vertical to welding torch. On the other hand, EGW process requires single pass and its welding direction is parallel to welding torch. The difference of welding direction and heat input was considered in the finite element analysis. In FCAW process, Goldak's double ellipsoidal heat input model was adopted. In the EGW process, Hemi-spherical power density distribution was adopted. In the results of experiment and finite element analysis, angular deformation of FCAW process is larger than that of EGW process.

This work intends to establish the reliability and fracture toughness $K_{IC}$ criterion of welded joints by EGW for high strength EH36-TMCP ultra thick plate. For this, firstly thermo elasto-plastic analysis has been carried out on two pass X-groove butt joint model to clarify the thermal and mechanical behaviour(residual stress, plastic strain, magnitude of stress and their distribution and production mechanism). Moreover, to establish fracture criterion, analysis of fracture toughness $K_{IC}$ has been performed under the notch machined and residual stress with the load condition on EGW welded joints. A quantitative fracture criterion for EGW welded joints is suggested by using $K_{IC}$.

Deck plates and hatch coming of large container carrier and offshore structures are joined by ultra-thick plates whose thickness is more than 60mm. Traditionally FCAW has been used to join the thick plates in butt joint. However, FCAW has been replaced with EGW since the welding efficiency of EGW is higher than that of FCAW. Tandem EGW using two electrodes has been applied to vertical position welding by several shipyards. EGW requires one or two layers of bead whereas FCAW requires more than 20 layers of weld bead in thick welding. However, high welding residual stresses are generated by EGW since it uses higher heat input than FCAW. In the present study, a finite element model is suggested to predict the residual stresses induced by the tandem EGW. Butt specimen of EH40 TMCP shipbuilding steel plates vertical welding was modeled by a three-dimensional model. Residual stresses were measured by X-ray diffraction method and to verify the numerical result. The results show a good agreement with experimental result.

EGW process has been applied to joining of ship block with vertical-up position at high production rate. The workability of EGW, however, has been interrupted by too much slag production. Two electrodes EGW showed more severe workability than that of one electrode EGW. Therefore, to understand the effect of discharge amount of EGW slag on workability and mechanical properties, two different slag discharge amount have been controlled at the same welding conditions. The results are as follows; 1) Workability has been improved by any additional slag discharge. 2) Mechanical properties have been deteriorated with any additional slag discharge. 3) Chemical compositions of weld metal have been changed by any additional slag discharge.

This study examined the welding residual stress and fracture toughness of 78mm thick steel electro gas welding (EGW) and flux cored arc welding (FCAW) welded joints by numerical analyses of the thermal elasto-plastic behavior and fracture toughness(KIC). The residual stress, fracture toughness characteristics and production mechanism on the welded joints were clarified. Moreover, the effects of the welding process (EGW and FCAW) on the welding residual stresses and fracture toughness of welded joints were evaluated. The results showed that the new welding process (EGW) appears to be an effective substitute for the existing welding process (FCAW) in a thick steel plate with high strength.

High capacity container carrier has been considered for many decades to transport the more containers at the same time. Therefore, it is required for high capacity container ship to be applied thicker plate to accomodate a mumber of containers compared to that of general container ship. To increase productivity of welding, new welding process should be considered. A representive process for increase of weld productivity is EGW(Electrode Gas Welding) process. Both sides EGW process was evaluated for thicker-plate TMCP Steel. From the test result, it is considered that this process can be applied, showing satisfaction of mechanical properties such as tensile strength and impact property.

최근 해양구조물의 수직 칼럼부 용접 공법은 FCAW에 의한 다층 용접으로, 작업 시수와 작업자의 피로 가중 등, 생산 효율면에서 단점이 많았다. 이를 개선하기 위해 최초로 EGW에 의한 단층 용접을 적용하고자 EGW 적용시의 용접강도 및 피로 안전성을 평가하기 위한, 피로 시험을 수행하였다. (중략)
