Aluminum alloy, Al5083-O, is one of candidate materials for the LNG storage tank, because of its excellent weldability, cryogenic characteristics, and corrosion resistance. The good weldability of Al5083-O is very important in LNG storage tank manufacturing. In this study, high current metal inert gas(MIG) welding process was used to get one pass welding of thick plate aluminum alloy. Bead on plate(BOP) welding was performed to evaluate the effect of welding conditions on the height of bead and depth of penetration. The optimum welding conditions were derived to get one pass welding of the thickness of 14.5mm. The mechanical properties of the welded joint were evaluated. The cross-sectional macro test, tensile test, and bending test satisfied the class rule.

In this study, MIG welding was performed on extruded 6005A-T6 material, which is used in the base panel of railway vehicles. The material was considered as the experimental base material, and argon shielding gas and ER5356 and ER4043 filler metals were used as the consumable welding materials. Welding coupons were prepared under various welding conditions by using an auto-welding system that various welding conditions applied 2.5Hz and 4.5Hz the pulse frequency of SynchroPuls function of welding machine and 1.0mm and 1.5mm of root face affect the weld penetration of welding joint. The welding current and voltage were also varied for this testing. On the basis of the results obtained, optimum welding conditions are proposed.

Robotized MIG welding of large aluminium components for high speed trains is state-of-the-art. The implementation of online laser cameras enables seam tracking and adoptive modification of welding parameters. A constant fill is achieved regardless of the gap tolerances. Friction Stir Welding has been introduced to the market as a reliable and fast joining technology. The advantages of high welding speeds and the elimination of arc light, fumes and liquefaction in the welding spot lead to economical realisation of heavy-duty gantry systems. FSW robots offer a high flexibility with regard to welding of curved parts, and can be equipped with laser cameras for exact joint tracking.

Titanium and its alloys have excellent corrosion resistance, high strength to weight ratios and high temperature creep properties, which make them using many various fields of application. Responding to these needs, welding processes for titanium are also being used including TIG, MIG, resistance welding, plasma arc welding, diffusion welding, electron beam welding and laser welding. In this study, It is possible to get sound beads without humping bead and spatter with the decrease of peak power according to increase of pulse width and change of welding speed for heat input control at pulsed Nd:YAG laser welding of titanium plates for Lap welding.

Aluminum extrude is increasing to vehicle body manufacture of a recent railroad vehicle. Conventional welding of this aluminum extrude has been used MIG welding or resistance spot welding mainly. But the advanced manufactures like Japan's tried to apply the friction stir welding and friction spot joining at railroad vehicle body manufacture process. Therefore in this paper we tried to study to apply friction stir welding to AL 6005-T6 extrude which has been manufactured the railroad vehicle mainly. In this study we investigated first the mechanisms to affect the welding strength in friction stir welding. After we made the 3 tools of different shape, we observed how the welding strength changed while changing the welding time and the rotation speed, the plunging depth.

A number of health hazards are generated in welding processes. In this paper, the characteristics of fumes and some other hazardous agents in welding are reviewed. Fumes in welding are generated by complex mechanism like physical ejection of particles, oxidation-enhanced vaporization, vaporization-condensation-oxidation, and spatter contribution. Fume generation rates could be described as a power function in a given process. Most of fume constituents was originated from consumables rather than base metal. The mass distribution for the welding fumes is unimodal and very small to penetrate respiratory system. So, almost fractions of fumes are classified into the respirable particulate mass. Total chromium contents in FCAW were similar to those from SMAW whereas hexavalent chromium concentrations in fume were similar to those produced from MIG welding fume. Hexavalent chromium was mostly soluble which was similar to the characteristic solubility of fume hexavalent chromium from SMAW.

In this paper, the welding machine with high-frequency inverter is described, which can save energy more than conventional ones with low efficiency. Although for part of welding machine of special type such as MIG, TIG, products were developed by inverter, but it is poor that applied to ordinary ac arc welding machine. Difference between conventional AC arc welding machine and the proposed welding machine is investigated econimically and constructionally. Untill now, kinds of welding machine and its characteristics were also described. The comparison of the proposed welding machine and the conventional is presented in the way of output control.

마찰교반접합(FSW, Friction Stir Welding)은 영국 TWI에 의해 1991년에 개발되어 특허가 출원된 후 90년대 중반부터 산업에 적용되었으며, 짧은 시간동안에 실용화가 이루어졌다. 이 기술이 적용되기 전, Al 합금의 접합은 MIG(Metal Inert Gas)나 TIG(Tungsgten Inert Gas)와 같은 접합이 주로 이용되어 왔으나, 이들 접합기술은 접합부의 표면문제, 변형, 결함 등으로 인하여 Al 합금의 구조물 적용에 큰 문제점이 야기되어왔다. (중략)
