Performance demonstration with real flawed specimens has been strongly required for nondestructive evaluation of safety class components in nuclear power plant. Specimen has been designed to produce mechanical fatigue flaw with tension stress and fatigue flaw has been produced to control stress and cycle, for suitable roughness. Notch condition is considered for control of fracture mode. After seal welding for fracture surface, final welding was performed to complete flaw specimen with GTAW(Gas Tungsten Arc welding) and FCAW(Flux Cored Arc Welding). It was demonstrated flaw size of flawed specimen by radiographic. testing and ultrasonic testing.

Flaw classification(determination of the flaw type) and flaw sizing (prediction of the flaw shape, orientation and sizing parameters) are very important issues in ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation of weldments. In this work, new techniques for both classification and sizing of flaws in weldments are described together with extensive review of previous works on both topics. In the area of flaw classification, a methodology is developed which can solve classification problems using probabilistic neural networks, and in the area of flaw sizing, a time-of-flight equivalent(TOFE) sizing method is presented.

SPPH강의 응력부식 균열과 용접 결함의 AE 신호의 특성을 살펴보았다. 고압배관 용접부의 결함 진전을 유도하기 위하여 부식용액(NaOH)과 국부가열 후 급랭 등의 기법을 적용하여 시험체를 제작하였다. AE 신호분석 결과, 결함으로 의심되는 영역에서 발생되는 AE 신호의 진폭은 $60{\sim}75\;dB$로 나타났으며 누적 진폭 분포 특성 조사에서 용접결함만이 존재하는 시험체는 0.034, 0.034, 0.035의 기울기를 나타내며 부식을 가한 시험체는 용접결함 기구와 부식기구가 합해져 새로운 기울기인 0.040, 0.039, 0.041로 그 차이는 적으나 기울기의 증가가 확인되었다. 가압 3분 이후 각 구간에서 응력부식결함에 의한 AE신호의 검출이 용이하였고 본 실험을 통하여 급작스런 취성파괴를 일으키는 특성을 가지고 있는 응력부식균열(SCC)의 발생 예측과 피해 예방이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

Needs for structural integrity procedure such as BS 7910, the nuclear industry document R6 Rev.4 and the European FITNET procedure are being increased in industry. Especially, BS 7910 allows metallic structures to be assessed on the basis of fracture mechanics analysis rather than strict adherence to design and fabricated codes. This study is to propose the flaw assessment to judge the toughness level of welding consumables at the development stage. The FCA welding consumables with YP 690MPa and CTOD over 0.25 mm have been developed and its allowable weld flaw size considering actually applied environment has been evaluated. Since the estimated allowable defect size is sufficiently detectable in nondestructive testing, the toughness of the developed material is judged to be appropriate and no problem in securing the structural integrity.

In this inquiry, I would suggest jet ventilation system for effective elimination of welding flaw at machinery material welding shop on plant and evaluate the airstream on inner space and property of welding flaw's density through the examination. We can know outer atmosphere inflows at the speed of about 0.05m/s from western entrance in case of stopping the jet ventilation system, but airstream is accumulated on entire space. At height of worker's breathing surface(Ground Level = 1.5 m, below of GL) and welding work center, density of welding flaw on upper part(GL = 12m) is appeared 4 times higher than outer atmosphere at surplus range besides nearby of western entrance. At operation of jet ventilation system, since the smooth air current transfer at inner space and exhaust effect the wind speed is maintained at 0.932 m/s at the point of height of worker's breathing surface on inner space and it's concluded about the working conditions have been better than before operation of jet ventilation system because of that results show that inner space density of welding flaw at height of worker's breathing surface is 40.5%, and in the work shop, it is 20.3% at upper part.

In this paper, we deal with the speckle noise reduction and parameter estimation of ultrasonic NDT(non-destructive test) signals obtained during weld inspection of piping. The overall approach consists of three major steps, namely, speckle noise analysis, proposition of wavelet domain AR(autoregressive) model and flaw detection by proposed model parameter. The data are first processed whereby signals obtained using vertical and angle beam transducer. Correlation properties of speckle noise are then analyzed using multiresolution analysis in wavelet domain. The parameter estimation curve obtained using the proposed model is classified a flaw in weld region where is contaminated by severe speckle noise and also clear flaw signal is obtained through CA-CFAR threshold estimator that is a nonlinear post-processing method for removing the noise from reconstructed ultrasonic signal.

방사선 관련 법의 개정으로 보일러관 비파괴검사 방법으로 방사선투과검사를 대체하여 위상배열초음파탐상검사를 시행하고 있다. ASME BPVC 제5장 4절에서 제시하고 있는 주요 결함별 정성적 특징과 실제 결함을 비교하여 결함종류 판별을 확인하였고 시험편에 대해 방사선투과검사와 위상배열초음파탐상검사를 시행하여 결함크기 해상 특성을 예측하였다. 위상배열초음파탐상검사는 면상결함군과 구상결함군 결함의 판별은 할 수 있으나 형태가 유사한 결함의 판별은 용이하지 않음을 확인하였다. 또한 결함크기가 합격 여부를 좌우하는 슬래그의 경우 결함의 위치나 방향에 무관하게 방사선투과검사 대비 과소 예측하였으며, 기공은 결함의 위치, 방향 및 군집 유무에 따라 과대 또는 과소 예측하는 정량적 특성이 나타나므로 결함크기 판별에 주의를 요함을 확인하였다.

In this study, we nodestructive test based on ultrasonic test as inspection method and compared backpropagation neural network(BPNN) with probabilistic neural network(PNN) as pattern recognition algorithm of welding flasw. For this purpose, variables are applied the same to two algorithms. Where, feature variables are zooming flaw signals of reflected whole signals from welding flaws in time domain. Through this process, we confirmed advantages/disadvantages of two algorithms and identified application methods of two algorithms.

In Nd:YAG laser welding, evaluation methods of welding flaw are various. But, the method due to fume shape is difficult to classification of welding flaw. The Nd:YAG laser process is known to have high speed and deep penetration capability to become one of the most advanced welding technologies. At the present time, some methods are studied for measurement of fume shape by using high-speed camera and photo diode. This paper describes the machining characteristics of SM45C carbon steel welding by use of an Nd:YAG laser. In spite of its good mechanical characteristics, SM45C carbon steel has a high carbon contents and suffers a limitation in the industrial application due to the poor welding properties. In this study, fume shape was measured by infrared thermal camera that is non-contact/non-destructive thermal measurement equipment through change of laser generating power, speed, focus. Weld was performed on bead-on method. Measurement results are compared as two equipments. Here, two results are composed of measurement results of fume quantities due to fume shape by infrared thermal camera and inspection results of weld bead include weld flaws by ultrasonic inspector.
