In 1his paper, applicability of laser welding to joining process of single crystal nickel base superalloy turbine blades was investigated. Because heat input of laser welding is more precisely controlled 1han TIG welding, it is possible to optimize solidification microstructure of the welds. Since in single crystal nickel base superalloy the crystal orientation have a significant effect on the strength, it is important to control the solidification microstructure in the fusion zone. A single crystal nickel base supera1loy, CMSX-4, plates were bead-on welded and butt welded using a $CO_2$ laser. The effects of microstructure and crystal orientation on properties of the weld joints were investigated. In bead-on weldling, welding directions were deviated from the base metal [100] direction by 0, 5, 15 and 30 degrees. The welds with deviation angles of 15 and 30 degrees showed fusion zone transverse cracks. As the deviation angles became larger, the fusion zone had more cracking. In the cross section microstructure, the fusion zone grains in 0 and 5 degrees welds grew epitaxially from the base metal spins except for the bead neck regions. The grains in the bead neck regions contained stray crystals. As deviation angles increased, number of the stray crystals increased. In butt welding, the declinations of the crystal orientation of the two base metals varied 0, 5 and 10 degrees. All beads had no cracks. In the 5 degrees bead, the cross section and surface microstructures showed that the fusion zone grains grew epitaxially from the base metal grains. However, the 10 degrees bead, the bead cross section and surface contained the stray crystals in the center of the welds. Orientations of the stray crystals accorded with the heat flow directions in the weld pool. When the welding direction was deviated from the base metal [100] direction, cracks appeared in the area including the stray crystals. The cracks developed along the grain boundaries of the stray crystals with high angles in the final solidification regions at the center of the welds. The fracture surfaces were covered with liquid film. The cracks, therefore, found to be solidification cracks due to the presence of low melting eutectic. As the results, in both bead-on welding and butt welding the deviation angles should be control within 5 degrees for preventing the fusion zone cracks. To investigate the mechanical properties of the weld joints, high temperature tensile tests for bead-on welds with deviation angles of 0 and 5 degrees and the butt welds with dec1ination angles of 0, 5 and 10 degrees were conducted at 1123K. The the tensile strength of all weld joints were more 1han 800MPa that is almost 80% of the tensile strength of the base metal. The strength of the laser weld joints were more than twice that of tue TIG weld joints with a filler metal of Inconel 625. The results reveals 1hat laser welding is more effective joining process for single crystal nickelbase superalloy turbine blades 1han TIG welding.

In this study, effect of laser power on hardness and microstructure of SKD61 Hot Die steel of which surface was melted and hardened with Yb:YAG disk laser was investigated. Beam speed was fixed at 70 mm/sec and distance between them was 0.8 mm about Laser surface melting. The only thing that was changed laser power. Laser powers were 2.0, 2.4 and 2.8 kW. No defect was found under all conditions. As the laser power increased, the penetration depth were deepened and the bead width was also widened. There was no hardness deviation of fusion zone at same laser power and it was higher than that of heat affected zone. In addition, the more laser power increased, the more hardness in fusion zone decreased. Fusion zone was macroscopically dendrite structure. However, core matric in dendrite was lath martensite of 100 nm size. There were $M_{23}C_6$ of 500 nm and the VC and $Mo_2C$ of a nano meters on boundary of dendrite.

The joining of Ti and SUS304 dissimilar metals is one of the effective measures to save rare metal. But Ti and SUS304 have differences in materials properties, and Ti and Fe intermetallic compounds such as TiFe and $TiFe_2$ are easily formed in weld fusion zone between Ti and SUS304. Nevertheless, in this study, full penetration lap dissimilar welding of Ti and SUS304 using single-mode fiber laser with ultra-high welding speed was tried, and it was found out that ultra-high welding speed could control the generation of intermetallic compound. To recognize the formation of intermetallic phase in the weld fusion zone and the compound zone of interface weld area were observed and analyzed using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). And it was confirmed that the ultra-high welding speed could reduce amount of intermetallic compounds, but the intermetallic compounds were existed in the weld fusion zone under the all conditions.

폴리에틸렌(Polyethylene) 배관은 가요성이 좋고 부식이 되지 않는 등의 장점으로 가스배관 뿐만 아니라 원자력 발전소의 배수관, 석유화학 및 정유사 공정배관 등으로 그 사용범위가 점차 확대되고 있다. 그러나 폴리에틸렌 배관의 연결부를 직접적으로 검사할 수 있는 검사방법이 개발되지 않아서 사용범위를 확대하는데 제한을 받고 있다. 폴리에틸렌 배관의 연결방법은 전기융착 방법과 버트융착 방법으로 구분할 수 있는데 이 중에서 가장 많이 사용하는 방법은 버트융착이다. 버트융착은 배관과 배관을 열판에 맞닿게 하고 일정한 온도 및 압력을 가한 후 열판을 제거하고 용융된 배관의 말단부를 서로 연결하는 방법으로서 별도의 연결구가 필요하지 않아 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 연결방법이다. 버트융착 시에 열판으로부터 열이 용융된 후 압력을 가하면 용융부는 비드를 형성하는 부분과 연결부를 형성하는 부분으로 분리되고 냉각과정을 거쳐 버트융착부가 된다. 본 연구는 연결부를 형성하는 부분에서 열판으로부터 열이 전파되어 용융된 거리를 측정하고 이 결과를 연결부에 대한 건전성 평가 방법 중의 하나로 제시하고자 한다. 외경 225mm, 두께 20.5mm의 중밀도 폴리에틸렌 가스용 1호관의 초음파 속도를 측정한 결과 2,200m/s 였다. 열용융 거리를 측정하기 위하여 열판으로부터 열이 전파되어 폴리에틸렌을 가열하는 시간을 0%~130%까지 변화시켜 시험편을 제작하였다. 또한 정상적인 가열시간(100%의 가열)을 제공하고 스크레핑 처리를 하지 않은 시험편과 토양을 삽입한 시험편 그리고 자갈을 삽입한 시험편과 비닐류를 삽입한 시험편을 제작하였다. 총 20개의 시험편에 대한 열용융 거리를 측정하기 위하여 3.5MHz 및 5.0MHz 센서를 이용하였으며 1개의 시험편에 대하여 총 3곳에서 초음파 탐상을 실시하였다. 열용융 신호를 명확하게 구분하기 위하여 모든 탐상 결과에 대하여 동일한 post image processing을 수행하였고 이미지 레벨, contrast, sharpen 및 threshold를 적용하였으며 결과 탐상은 가장 직관적으로 파악할 수 있는 gray scale로 표현하였다. 탐상 결과 가열시간이 짧은 시험편일수록 융착이 이루어지지 않아 멀티플 에코가 반사되는 영역이 증가하였으며 이 부분을 최대한 배제할 수 있는 위치에서 데이터를 획득하였다. 정상적인 가열시간의 80%인 168초의 시간을 가한 시험편부터 열용융 거리에 대한 반사신호가 뚜렷이 구분되었으며 이 시험편부터 거리 측정을 실시하였다. 가열시간이 정상가열시간의 7%인 15초의 가열시간을 가한 시험편부터 더 낮은 가열시간을 가한 시험편의 경우 융착이 이루어지지 않아서 3곳 모두 데이터 영상을 획득할 수 없었다. 위 실험 결과로 위상배열초음파를 통해 폴리에틸렌 배관 버트융착부에서 열이 용융되어 전파된 거리 측정이 가능함을 확인하였으며 또한 열이 용융되어 전파된 거리 측정을 통해 정상적인 융착과 불완전 융착을 구분할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the formation mechanisms of imperfections such as irregular humps, outer cavity and inner cavity in the laser fusion zone of diamond saw blade. Laser beam welding was conducted to join two parts of blade; mild steel shank and Fe-Co-Ni sintered tip. The variables were beam power and travel speed. The microstructure and elements distributions of specimens were analyzed with SEM, AES, EPMA and so on. It was found that these imperfections were responded to heat input. Irregular humps were reduced in 10.4∼17.6kJ/m heat input range. However there were no clear evidences, which could explain the relations between humps formation and heat input. The number of outer cavity and inner cavity decreased as heat input was increased. Considering both possible defects formations mechanisms, it could be thought that outer cavity was caused by insufficient refill of keyhole, which was from rapid solidification of molten metal and fast molten metal flow to the rear keyhole wall at low heat input. More inner cavities were found near the interface of the fusion zone and sintered segment and in the bottom of the fusion zone. Inner cavity was mainly formed in the upper fusion zone at high heat input whereas was in the bottom at low heat input. Inner cavity was from trapping of coarsened preexist pores in the sintered tip and metal vapor due to rapid solidification of molten metal before the bubbles escaped.

A flotation process has a shorter processing time and needs less space than a sedimentation process. Dissolved air flotation process (DAF) is an efficient flotation method and used in a conventional wastewater treatment process. However, DAF requires the circulation of water containing compressed air and requires expensive installation and operation cost. Plasma Air Flotation (PAF) process is able to float flocs by micro bubbles generated from underwater plasma without the circulation of bubbly water and additional saturators. Therefore, PAF can be an alternative solution overcoming economic barriers. In this study, Humic acid removal efficiency by PAF process was compared with that of sedimentation process. 44.67% and 87.3% reduction rate based on UV 254 absorbance has been measured in sedimentation and PAF respectively. In particular, PAF in the flocculation zone can dramatically remove humic acid from water. In flocculation zone, PAF can separate organic matters but sedimentation cannot.

This study has evaluated the weld metal solidification cracking behavior of several Ni base superalloys (Incoloy 825, Inconel 718 and Inconel 600). Austenitic stainless steels(304, 310S) were also included for comparison. In addition, a possible mechanism of solidification cracking in the fusion zone was suggested based on the extensive microstructural examinations with SEM, EDAX, TEM, SADP and AEM. The solidification cracking resistance of Ni base superalloys was found to be far inferior to that of austenitic stainless steels. The solidification cracking of Incoloy 825 and Inconel 718 was believel to be closely related with the Laves-austenite (Ti rich in 825 and Nb rich in 718) and MC-austenite eutectic phases formed along the grain boundaries during solidification. Cracking in Inconel 600 was always found along the grain boundaries which were enriched with Ti and P. Further, solidifidcation cracking resistance was dependent not only upon the type of love melting phases but also on the amount of the phases along the solidification grain boundaries.
