This study would like to evaluate the influences with the strength mismatch and the variation of the welding width of the narrow gap welding for the plastic parameter, the major constant determining the plastic ${\eta}$-factor of J-Integral, using 3-D FEM. For this, we evaluate the plastic ${\eta}$-factor according to the variation of the strength mismatch of weldment with same materials and welding width through FEM. Also, we proposed the equation of plastic ${\eta}$-factor considering the variation of the strength mismatch of weldment with similar materials and welding width.

In this study, Hot-wire laser welding (HWLW) without keyhole which deposits filler material by feeding hot wire into the process zone has been performed to increase process performance. From the analysis of High Speed Imaging (HSI), for higher voltage, the process is prone to arc formation and drop transfer, which is disagreeable transfer mode. It is necessary that arc formation and drop (globular) transfer should be avoided by lower voltage. Therefore, continuous wire melting and transfer mode is preferred when adopting this process. The HWLW technique has high potential in terms of performance, precision, robustness and controllability for thick section of narrow gap.

In this study, welding phenomena involved in formation of penetrators during high frequency electric resistance welding were investigated. High speed cinematography of the process revealer that a molten bridge between neighboring skelp edges forms at apex point and travels along narrow gap toward to welding point at a speed ranging from 100 to 400 m/min. The bridge while moving along the narrow gap swept away oxide containing molten metal from the gap, providing oxide-free surface for a forge-welding at upsetting stand frequency of the budge formation, travel distance and speed of the bridge were affected by the heat input rate into strip. The travel distance and its standard deviation were found to have a strong relationship with the weld defect density. Based on the observation, a new mechanism of the penetrator formation during HF ERW process is proposed.

원전 배관의 LBB 해석을 위한 파괴인성(J-R곡선)은 일반적으로 ASTM E1820에 따라 시험을 수행하여 획득한다. 그러나 ASTM E1820에 제시되어 있는 파괴인성에 관한 식은 균질재의 물성 평가를 위한 것 이며, 협개선 용접부에 적용할 경우 실제와는 다른 파괴인성을 나타낼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ASTM에 제시되어 있는 균질재의 파괴인성식에 의한 결과와 협개선 용접재의 특성을 고려하여 제안된 소성 $\eta$계수 식에 의한 파괴인성의 차이를 비교 검토하기 위하여 협개선 용접이 적용된 배관에서 CT 시험편을 채취한 후 파괴인성 시험을 수행하였다.

Conventionally, SMAW process was applied to join pipes of RCL, which caused lot of loss in time and cost due to excessive heat input and defects in joining section. Recently, narrow-gap welding(NGW) process was introduced to overcome the disadvantages of SMAW. However, the application of NGW to nuclear power plant is not yet common because safety of NGW process is not proven. In present paper, the welded coupons are made of carbon steel. They are manufactured under different processes; general welding(GW), post-weld heat treatment(PWHT) after GW, repair welding after GW and PWHT with repair welding after GW in carbon steel. Performed are various mechanical tests investigation of microstructure, hardness test, tensile test at room and high temperature, bending test, impact test and J-R test. It is verified that the mechanical properties of carbon steel are greatly changed after repair welding process due to applied heat flux, and that the effect of PWHT is beneficial.

An application of innovative laser+GMA hybrid welding process is presented for reducing bead humping defects in high speed welding and increasing side wall fusion in narrow groove welding without torch or wire oscillation. In this hybrid process, the laser heat input is applied adjacent to the weld pool at a relatively low power density to produce a wider, flatter weld bead. In bead on plate in sheet metal gauges, the hybrid process was able to produce hump-free welds from 70ipm (${\sim}1780mm/min$) to over 150ipm (${\sim}3810mm/min$) of the travel speed compared to the un-assisted GMAW process. A square-butt joint in 15mm A572 Gr50 steel welds was investigated. A square butt joint with a gap of 3.2mm was filled with 6 passes. Liquid Nitrogen calorimetry and innovative $CO_2$ laser reflective optics were also developed to demonstrate the concept of hybrid welding.

This study evaluated the influence of the strength mismatch of HAZ for a plastic ${\eta}$-factor, which is the principle parameter determining the plastic portion of J-integral to assess the fracture toughness of the weldment. The specimen of tensile and hardness test was manufactured from the piping applying narrow-gap welding, and the mechanical properties of weldment, HAZ and a base metal were obtained. To perform the finite element analysis according to the ratio of strength mismatch, the material properties was chosen with the change of strength using the determination method of Ramberg-Osgood constant. Also, the influence of the strength mismatch of HAZ was determined using finite element analysis by those properties.
