The restraint force is required an accurate measurement and analysis to protect weldment from residual stress. Also, this residual stress caused by clacks in weldments are often observed in the weldments of large size nozzles or radial tanks after welding. This paper is preformed on the study of evaluation of welding restraint forces using load cell with STS thin plate which are using pressure vessel steel in the industry field. As a result of this study, as the welding currents are higher and the welding speeds are more slowly, the magnitude of restraint force in process of the flat plate welding hows to be more large. Also, the temperature in process of melting is increasingly rising, then the restraint forces exhibit the compressive forces, whereas the restraint forces during cooling represent extensional force.

The hardness of laser weldments has been predicted by using several carbon equivalent equations and estimation models. In this study, authors extended the model to boron steel sheets which are adopted for the hot press forming process. four kinds of boron steels with the strengths from 1500 MPa to 1900 MPa were considered and the hardness profiles of weldments was measured from the experiments of this study and the references. The traditional "Kaizu" equation could predict the hardness with an accuracy of -4.9% error although the Kaizu equation does not consider the boron content. Modified carbon equivalents were suggested by adding a term as like 5B or 14B into the Kaizu equation, and it could improve the accuracy of the prediction model.

The characteristics of low temperature impact toughness and stress corrosion resistance at boiling MgCl$_2$ solution of GTA and SMA weld of duplex stainless steels have been investigated. The impact toughness was highest at the GTAW weld metal and lowest at the SMAW weld, which was almost the same as that of the SMAW heat-affected zone. This was attributable to influence of austenite-ferrite phase balance, and the degree and nature of precipitation that occurred during welding. The SCC resistance of the weldments was slightly higher than that of the base metal, whereas no difference in the SCC resistance was found between two different weldments.

Currently, duplex and superduplex stainless steels are widely used for piping system in offshore unit because of its excellent combination of strength and corrosion resistance properties. Also, the usage of duplex and superduplex stainless steel is steadily increasing with getting into step with development of offshore industries. In spite of excellent merits in mechanical and chemical properties of base materials, sometimes stringent requirements in welding procedure qualification and fabrication of duplex class material have regulated not only the application of various high-efficiency welding processes but also applicable welding parameters. This study is focused on hardness requirement which is known as one of the most stringent factor in duplex class material welding and this study aims to evaluate the effects of cutting and welding methodology on hardness values of duplex and superduplex stainless steel weldments.

Several methodologies analyzing welding distortions of large shell structures like ship blocks have been developed and utilized in shipyards for a long times ago. In general, one of objects of thermal distortion analysis is to find welding sequence making least-deformation without any suppliance, and it can be solved easily and rapidly by EP strain-boundary method. But after assembly construction, there are usually more than 10 weldments in each process, and the number of sequence will follow the Factorial calculation. In this research, a method has been suggested to decide the best welding sequence by minimum analysis. Using this method, welding deformation could be reduced just analyzing some cases as many as the number of weldments. Experiments and Analysis of all cases were also done, and their best results are good agreements with predictation by suggested methodology.

The fracture toughness of subcritical HAZ in the hot strained weldments of two structural steels(SB 41 and SA 537) has been investigated by COD test method and metallurgical study. The obtained results are summarized as follows; 1. The hot straining embitterment of subcritical HAZ depends on the hot straining amounts of notch tip, and the transition temperature( $T_{tr}$ ) increases with the accumulated hot straining amounts(.SIGMA. vertical bar .delta.$_{t}$vertical bar). 2. The fracture toughness of subcritical HAZ depends on materials and microstructure. The transition temperature( $T_{tr}$ ) of subcritical HAZ in SB 41 is almost same as that of parent material, however in SA 537 the temperature is higher than that of parent and lower than that of transformed HAZ. 3. The subcritical HAZ in SA 537 shows a higher toughness at small amounts of hot straining (.SIGMA. vertical bar .delta. $_{t}$vertical bar<0.3mm).mm).

Microstructures and mechanical properties of weldments were studied for EH36 TMCP higher-strength hull steel with electrogas welding jprocess. In case of a newly designed EH36 TMCP steel for large heat input welding process, the Microstructures of HAZ shows more narrow width of grain coarsed region than that of conventional EH36 TMCP weldments, the amount of acicular ferrite, which is beneficial to impact toughness, increased while the amount of grain-boundary ferrite decreased. Charpy V-notched impact tests show that a newly designed EH36 TMCP steel weldment satisfies all the requirement of specifications, especially at the fusion line +2mm where the conventional EH36 TMCP steel fails to exceed the requirement.

This research investigates microstructures and fatigue properties of the weldments of 6005A aluminum alloy developed for railroad vehicles. The samples were extruded into a truss structure and welded together using the gas metal arc welding process. The extruded sample showed a wide variation in grain size, possibly due to the frictional heating as well as the inghomogeneous metal flow in the extrusion die. The mechanical properties of the samples were affected by the mirocstructures. The fatigue strength of the welded structure was found to decrease significantly from that of the base metal. It was found that the fatigue characteristics of the welded structure were determined by the microstructure of the parent metal as well as weld defects such as porosities and the liquation cracks.

At present, fatigue design of welded structures is primarily based on nominal stress or hot spot stress approach with a series of classified weld S-N curves. However, these methods are known to possess drawbacks, such as difficulty associated with defining proper nominal stress and the finite element sue sensitivity etc. Recently, a mesh-size insensitive structural stress definition is proposed by Battelle that gives a stress state at weld toe with relatively large mesh size. The structural stress definition is based on the elementary structural mechanics theory and provides an effective measure of a stress state in front of weld toe. As an experimental validation of the structural stress method in obtaining the fatigue strength of weldments, a series of experiment is carried out for various sizes of weldments. Based on the result from this study, it is expected to develop a more precise fatigue strength evaluation technique and to save time period required in the fatigue design of ship and offshore structures.
