Characteristics of dissimilar metal welds between alloy steel ASTM A387 Gr. 91 and carbon steel ASTM A516 Gr.70 made with Flux cored arc welding(FCAW) have been evaluated in terms of microstructure, mechanical strength, chemical analysis by EDS as well as corrosion test. Three heat inputs of 15.0, 22.5, 30.0kJ/cm were employed to make joints of dissimilar metals with E91T1-B9C wire. Post-weld heat treatment was carried out at $750^{\circ}C$ for 2.5 h. Based on microstructural examination, tempered martensite and lower bainite were formed in first layer of weld metal. The amount of tempered martensite was decreased and the amount of lower bainite was increased with increasing heat input and layer. Heat affected zone of alloy steel showed the highest hardness due to the formation of tempered Martensite and lower Bainite. Tensile strengths of dissimilar welds decreased with increasing heat inputs. Dissimilar welds seemed to have a good hot cracking resistance due to the low HCS index below 4. The salt spray test of dissimilar metals showed that the corrosion rate increased with increasing heat inputs due to the increase of the amount of lower Bainite.

Characterization of microstructures and mechanical properties of 83mm thickness EH36-TM welds produced by the combined flux cored arc (FCA) and electro gas (EG) welding processes has been studied with the two different groove conditions, single-V (SV) and double-V (DV) bevels. The welding consumables used for FCA and EG welding processes were ASME/AWS A5.29 (E81T1-K2) and A5.26 (EG72T), respectively. Experimental results showed that all the mechanical properties of welds such as tensile property, CVN toughness and Vickers hardness met IACS requirements. The tensile strength of EG welded plates were reduced by approximately 4% (DV: 3.8%, SV: 4.2%) compared to the base metal. The hardness value of SV-beveled weld metal was slightly lower than that of DV-beveled one. There were no significant differences as per welding groove conditions except for the weld metal. In addition, at the fusion line, the toughness of SV condition was 20J lower and the weld metal was 40J lower than DV condition, respectively. On the basis of microstructural analysis, grain boundary ferrite (GBF) structures for SV condition were 2 times higher volume fraction than for DV condition and their packet sizes were coarsened to almost double. It was thus suggested that the GBF volume fractions and packet sizes in the weld metal of EH36-TM steel plates are the most important factors affecting the mechanical properties of the combined FCA and EG welded joint. Nevertheless, all the results of welds with both DV and SV conditions were found to be excellent.

Mo 변화에 따른 Cr-Mo 강의 미세조직 및 물성병화를 알아보기 위해 새로 디자인된 용접봉을 사용하여 Flux cored arc welding(FCAW) 공정으로 용접하였다. 또한 고온에서의 용접부 물성을 알아보기 위하여 각각의 시편을 $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$, $700^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 동안 열처리 하였다. 용접부의 미세조직은 미세한 베이나이트 및 침상 페라이트로 구성되었으며 Mo의 함량이 높아질수록 베이나이트 조직이 증가하여 경도 및 강도가 증가하였다. 높은 항복강도와 인장강도를 가지며 연신율이 매우 낮음을 관찰하였다. 열처리후의 미세조직은 $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$는 템퍼드 베이나이트 조직이 나왔으나 $600^{\circ}C$에서 베이나이트 조직이 성장하였다. $700^{\circ}C$ 로 갈수록 베이나이트가 감소하고 페라이트로 미세조직이 변태 하였으며 탄화물의 석출 및 성장이 관찰되었다. 이로 인하여 경도값이 $400^{\circ}C$, $;500^{\circ}C$ 에서 증가하였고 $600^{\circ}C$는 소폭 감소하였으며 $700^{\circ}C$의 경우 완전 페라이트 조직의 형성으로 경도가 크게 감소하고 Mo 함량에 따른 경도 차이 또한 보이지 않았다.

본 연구에서는 향후 사용빈도가 증가할 것으로 예상되는 SM570, POSTEN60 및 POSTEN80 강재를 대상으로 용접선 방향이 피로균열성장속도에 미치는 영향, 용접방법 및 강도등급에 따른 피로균열성장특성, 그리고 각 재질별(모재부, 열영향부, 용접금속부) 피로균열 성장특성을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해서 CT시험편을 제작해서 일련의 피로시험을 실시하였다. 피로시험결과 노치가 용접선과 평행한 시험체의 경우 노치선단에 존재하는 압축잔류응력의 영향으로 노치가 용접선과 직각인 시험체의 경우보다 피로균열성장속도의 지연현상이 현저해지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 용접 방법에 따른 피로균열성장특성은 강재의 강도등급에 관계없이 FCAW가 SAW에 비해서 피로균열성장속도의 분산이 적게 나타나고 있으며, 또한 높은 응력확대계수범위 영역에서 피로균열성장속도의 수렴현상이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 한편 본 피로시험결과와 기존의 연구결과를 비교하면 피로균열성장영역에서의 피로균열성장속도는 유사한 경향을 나타내고 있으므로 본 연구에서 대상으로 한 강재는 피로안전성을 충분히 확보하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 HSA800 후판 강재에 적합한 용접재를 선정하고자 휨-인장실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구 수행 당시 HSA800 강재에 적용가능한 용접재로 GMAW 용접재(외국산)와 FCAW 용접재(국내산) 두 가지가 추천되어 이들을 사용하였다. 선행연구인 표준인장실험 결과를 바탕으로 맞댐용접상세와 루트간격을 주요 실험변수로하여 실물크기의 보 실험을 통해 용접부의 성능을 평가하였다. 강도 측면에서 모멘트 및 플랜지 축력 전달에 대한 조건은 두 용접재 모두 만족하였으나 연성능력 측면에서 GMAW 용접재보다는 FCAW 용접재가 일관되고 우수한 거동을 보임이 실험적으로 확인되었다. 특히 GMAW 용접재는 용접효율과 작업성의 문제로 현장에서의 상향용접이 어려운 것으로 파악되었다. 같은 완전용입용접이라도 Single bevel보다는 V-groove가 안정적인 구조거동을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 표준인장실험결과와 휨-인장실험결과를 토대로 HSA800 후판재의 용접상세 및 용접재를 제시하였다.

In this study, a series of fatigue tests are carried out in order to estimate quantitatively the characteristics of fatigue crack growth rate for high strength steels of SM570, POSTEN60, and POSTEN80 steel, that is, the influence on fatigue crack growth rate according to the welding line, the characteristics of fatigue crack growth according to the welding method and the kinds of steel, and the characteristics of fatigue crack growth for base metal, heat affected zone and weld metal. From the test results, in case that the notch if parallel to welding line, it knows that the retardations of fatigue crack growth rate in crack tip at early stage increase remarkably than in case that the notch is perpendicular to welding line due to compressive residual stress. And the characteristics of fatigue crack growth rate according to welding method are that the dispersion of fatigue crack growth rate in case of FCAW method is smaller than that of SAW method. Also, it knows that the fatigue crack growth rate converges in high stress intensity factor range.

FCAW(Flux Cored Arc Welding), SAW(Submerged Arc Welding), EGW(Electro Gas Welding), and three-pole SAW are applicable in manufacturing the offshore wind tower. In this paper, mechanical properties of these welded-joints for TMCP steels were evaluated in all above welding processes. The tensile strength of welded-joints for all the welding methods satisfied the standard guideline (KS D 3515). No cracking on weldment was found after the bending test. Changes of weldedments hardness with welding processes were observed. In a weld HAZ (heat-affected zone), a softened HAZ-zone was formed with high heat input welding processes (SAW and EGW). However, the welded-joint fractures were found in the base metal for all cases and small decrease in welded-joint strength was caused by a softened zone. The multi-pole SAW welds exhibited similar mechanical properties comparing to the one with one-pole SAW process.

Sulfide stress cracking (SSC) of materials exposed to oilfield environment containing hydrogen sulfide $(H_{2}S)$ has been recognized as a materials failure problem. Laboratory data and field experience have demonstrated that extremely low concentration of $H_{2}S$ may be sufficient to lead to SSC failure of susceptible materials. In some cases, $(H_{2}S)$ can act synergistically with chlorides to produce corrosion and cracking failures. SSC is a form of hydrogen embrittlement that occurs in high strength steels and in localized hard zones in weldment of susceptible materials. In the heat-affected zones adjacent to welds, there are often very narrow hard zones combined with regions of high residual stress that may become embrittled to such an extent by dissolved atomic hydrogen. On the base of understanding on sulfide stress cracking and its mechanism, SSC resistance for the several materials, those are ASTM A106 Gr B using in the oil industries, are evaluated.

It is well known that a considerable amount of scatter is shown in experimental results relating to fatigue crack growth even under identical and constant amplitude cyclic loading conditions. Moreover, flux cored arc welding (FCAW) is a common method used to join thick plates such as the structural members of large scale offshore structures and very large container ships. The objective of this study was to investigate the macro- and microscopic observations of the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of the FCAWed API 2W Gr. 50 steel joints typically applied for offshore structures. In order to clearly understand the randomness of the fatigue crack growth behavior in the materials of three different zones, the weld metal (WM), heat affected zone (HAZ), and base metal (BM), experimental fatigue crack growth tests for each of five specimens were performed on ASTM standard compact tension (CT) specimens under constant amplitude cyclic loading. Special focus was placed on the fatigued fracture surfaces. As a result, a different behavior was observed at the macro-level, depending on the type of material property: BM, HAZ, or WM. The variability in the fatigue crack growth rate for WM was higher than that of BM and HAZ.

This pitting corrosion study of welded joints of austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304L and 316L) has addressed the differentiating solidification mode using three newly introduced filler wires with a flux-cored arc welding process (FCAW). The delta ferrite (${\delta}$-ferrite) content in the welded metals increased with an increasing equivalent weight ratio of chromium/nickel ($Cr_{eq}/Ni_{eq}$). Ductility dip cracking (DDC) was observed in the welded metal containing ferrite with none of AISI 304L and 0.1% of AISI 316L. The potentiodynamic anodic polarization results revealed that the $Cr_{eq}/Ni_{eq}$ ratio in a 3.5% NaCl solution didn't much affect the pitting potential ($E_{pit}$). The AISI 316L welded metals with ${\ddot{a}}$-ferrite content of over 10% had a superior $E_{pit}$ value. Though the AISI 316L welded metal with 0.1% ferrite had larger molybdenum contents than AISI 304L specimens, it showed a similar $E_{pit}$ value because the concentration of chloride ions and the corrosion product induced severe damage near the DDC.
