In this study, metal transfer characteristics in pulsed current metal inert gas (MIG) welding of aluminum was investigated. Based on the metal transfer characteristics from direct current electrode negative MIG welding, the one drop per one pulse(ODOP) condition was predicted and compared with experimental data. The results indicated that experimental pulse range for the ODOP condition is wider than that predicted from the DCEP MIG welding data. In addition, more stable metal trnasfer behavior was obtained at the higher end of the ODOP condition.

Forming characteristics of tailored blank are mostly effected by the welding method. Recently, laser welding is widely used for the tailored blank. However, tensile and forming characteristics vary due to welding conditions such as welding speed, heat flux etc. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of welding speed on the tensile and forming characteristics of laser welded tailored blank. For this purpose, tailored blank specimens with different welding speed were prepared and tensile tests were performed. Also forming tests such as LDH and OSU test, were performed to evaluate the effect of welding speed on the forming characteristics. Finally, forming limit diagrams were obtained for different welding speed.

Welding variables and conditions in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) effect on the quality and productivity of the weld, extensive research efforts have been made to analyze the effect of the welding variables and conditions. In this study dynamic behavior of GMAW system is investigated using the characteristics of the power supply, wire and welding arc. Characteristic equation of wire is modified to include the effect of droplets attached at the electrode tip. The dynamic characteristics of arc length, current, voltage with respect to the step, ramp inputs of CTWD was simulated. From results of simulation, some predictions about dynamic characteristics of GMAW and welding process are available. The proposed simulator and results appear to be utilized to determine the proper welding conditions, to be improved by considering power supply dynamic characteristics.

Laser welding has good characteristics such as high density energy, high speed and short heating time, as compared with conventional arc welding. The joint of laser welding also has good mechanical characteristics in general. However, relevant research is not sufficient to understand laser welding in the view point of mechanics until a recent date. In this paper, numerical simulation has been conducted to analyze distribution of welding residual stresses. Welding residual stresses of specimen have been measured by using sectioning method to compare the results between simulation and experiment.

Tungsten Inert Gas(TIG) welding is today one of the most popular arc welding process because of its high quality welds and low equipment costs. Even if welding productivity increases with welding speed and current, this strategy is limited by the appearance of defects such as undercut and humping bead due to the depressed molten metal. The purpose of this study investigates the effect of He mixing ratio on the characteristics with high current and speed in TIG welding. The conclusions obtained permit to explain the arc start characteristics quantitatively and the maximum welding speed on stable bead formation with He mixing ratio for high current and speed TIG welding observed in experiments. Also through the relation of the maximum arc pressure and surface depression depth at high current and speed TIG welding, it made clear the mechanism of unstable bead formation.

As a considerable, experimental approach, an Auto-carriage type of $CO_2$ welding machine and a MIG(Metal Inert Gas) welding robot under inert gas atmosphere were utilized in order to realize Al 5083 welding applied to hull and relevant components of green Al leisure ships. This study aims at investigating the effect of welding conditions(current, voltage, welding speed, etc) on thermal deformation that occurs as welding operation and tensile characteristics after welding, by using Al 5083, non-ferrous material, applied to manufacturing of co-environmental Al leisure ships. With respect to welding condition to minimize the thermal deformation, 150A and 16V at the wire-feed rate of 6mm/sec were acquired in the process of welding Al 5083 through an auto carriage type of $CO_2$ welding feeder. As to tensile characteristics of Al 5083 welding through a MIG welding robot, most of tensile specimens showed the fracture behavior on HAZ(Heat Affected Zone) located at the area joined with weld metal, except for some cases. Especially, for the case of the Al specimen with 5mm thickness, 284.62MPa of tensile strength and 11.41% of elongation were obtained as an actual allowable tensile stress-strain value. Mostly, after acquiring the optimum welding condition, the relevant welding data and technical requirements might be provided for actual welding operation site and welding procedure specification(WPS).

In this study, mechanical and electrochemical characteristics with welding material in MIG welded with ROBOT for dissimilar Al alloys were investigated using various experiment methods. The MIG welding by ROBOT with ER5183 and ER5556 for the 5456-H116 and 6061-T6 Al alloy were carried out. The hardness of welding zone was lower than that of base metal. In electrochemical experiment, ER5183 welding material presented excellent characteristics. The yield strength and maximum tensile strength in welding with welding material of ER5183 presented lower value than those of ER5556. The elongation and time-to-fracture showed the opposite results.

The repair welding of small leakage parts on the water pipeline in engine room is often and important factor in standby and emergency condition in a ship. So, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the corrosion characteristics of welding part of leakage water pipe in case of some underwater welding electrodes. The corrosion current density between welding metal and base metal was considerably different according to used underwater welding electrodes. In case of DC welding, its corrosion characteristics was better than that of AC welding.

In this paper, arc characteristics of V groove joints using pulsed GMA welding were found out. The bevel angles of $22.5^{\circ}$ and $30.0^{\circ}$ were chose to make the V groove configuration with the groove angles of $45^{\circ}$ and $60.0^{\circ}$, respectively. In the experiment, the arc current waveform measurement and the high speed photography were taken to investigate the arc characteristics for a single-beveled asymmetric workpiece. Consequently, the welding current was changed abnormally around the edge of groove. As the arc moved close to the groove face, the welding current was increased rapidly because the welding arc was affected by the inclined surface. Also the welding current waveforms were measured for the double-sided symmetric workpiece to verify the previous measurements for the single-beveled workpiece, and similar current waveforms were found.
