The use of light-weight Al alloys in the automotive industry is increasing to meet requirements for fuel efficiency and emission reduction. Joining Al alloy to the conventional steel sheet is also very important issue with the increased use of Al alloy, and several joining processes have been introduced to enhance joining strength between dissimilar metals. This paper deals with a galvanic corrosion in the dissimilar metal joining. Salt spray tests up to 2000 hours were conducted on a self-piercing rivet, spot welded, adhesive bonded and weld-bonded joints, and cross-sections and tensile shear strength according the salt spray duration were analyzed at every 500-hour. Self-piercing rivet joint had relative low initial strength but the joint strength did not change regardless of the salt spray duration. The strength of other joints (spot welded, adhesive bonded and weld-bonded joints) decreased with the increase of salt spray duration and the corrosion behaviour of each joint was discussed.

Resistance spot welding has been widely used in the sheet metal joining processes because of its high productivity and convenience. Recently, automobile industries are trying to replace partly steel sheets with aluminum alloy sheets. Among currently produced aluminum alloys, Al alloy sheets of Al-Mg-Si(6000 series) are being tested. Especially, 6000 series are the most probable substitute in view of strength and weldability. In this paper, an attempt was made to apply resistance spot welding to joining of dissimilar sheet metals (KS6383+SCPZn or KS6383+SHCP). An effort was made to balance heating rate in the Al alloy with that in the steel sheets by increasing electrode tip diameter. Although resistance spot welding of Al alloy sheet and sheet metals does not produce desirable nugget, it proved to have reasonable strength if optimal weld condition is found by tensile-shear strength and fatigue life test. Since spot weld joints in automobile are always experiencing repeated load, spot welding methodology proposed in this paper is found to be not suitable to automobile body manufacturing.

According as the member of the automobile body structure have been thinned their thickness and have become high strength, each part of the body structure has been put more severe stress condition. And, because fatigue strength of the spot welded lap joint is influenced by its geometrical and mechanical factors, welding condition and etc., there needs a quantitative and systematic evaluation method for them. In this study, by considering nugget edge of the spot weld part of the IB-type spot welded lap joint under tension-shear load to the ligament crack. fatigue strength of various IB-type spot welded lap joints was estimated with the stress intensity factor(S.I.F.) KIII which is fracture mechanical parameter. We could find that fatigue strength evaluation of the IB-type spot welded lap joints by KIII is more effective than the maximum principal stress ($\sigma$1max) at edge of the spot weld obtained from FEM analysis.

This paper represents the s-cam manufacturing process with the high-carbon steel like S45C using laser welding system. Laser welding of the high-carbon steel is generally difficult because of hardening of the weld zone. Also, existing s-cam manufacturing process, electric resistance welding system, have some problems like increase of production and development cost. To solve those problems, we are introduced the laser welding system with the pre-heating system for precision welding of s-cam with separated shaft and cam part. S-cam manufactured with optimum laser welding conditions is verified the performance like tensile strength, torsional strength and fatigue test. Strength and fatigue test results are described.

Recently, application of UHSS(Ultra High Strength Steels) whose tensile strength is over 1000MPa to car body structure are growing due to great needs for light weighting and improved crash worthiness. However, their poor weldability is one of obstacles to expand selecting to car body. In this study, effect of Phosphorus contents on resistance spot weldability of high elongation DP980 steel whose Si content is over 1% was investigated. The cross tension strength (CTS) was decreased showing partial interface fracture as Phosphorus content increase because of solidification segregation of Phosphorus. In order to improve resistance spot weldability by modification of welding condition, in-situ post-weld heating pulse was introduced after main pulse. The optimum cooling time between main and post pulse and post-pulse current condtion were determined through FEM welding simulation and DOE tests. The CTS was increased about 1.5 time showing plug fracture. The decrease of Phosphorus segregation was found to be a major reason for weld ductility and CTS improvement.

본 연구에서는 X65강의 용접부에 전기화학적 방법으로 수소를 장입한 이후에, 소형펀치시험편을 사용하여 기계적 강도를 평가하고 파면을 분석하였다. 모재부의 경우와는 다르게 용접부에서는 수소장입정도에 따라 강도저하가 민감하게 나타나는 거동을 보였다. 수소장입시 전류밀도, 온도, 장입시간의 변화에 따라 강도 및 연신율 등의 기계적 성질이 민감하게 변화하였다. 특히, 전류밀도가 높고 장입시간이 길어짐에 따라서 강도의 저하가 크게 나타났으나, 상대적으로 전해질 온도의 영향은 비교적 작게 나타났다. 또한 주사전자현미경을 통해 관찰한 시험편의 파면에서 수소침투된 표면근처의 재료에서 취성파면이 발견되었으며, 이는 강도의 저하 거동과 일치되는 경향이다. 수소취화 거동 평가 연구를 위해 본 연구에서 채택한 시험시스템은 재현성이 높게 나타나고 있으며, 이 방법을 이용한 재료의 강도평가 결과 매우 높은 신뢰성을 보이고 있다. 따라서 소형펀치시험과 전기분극법을 이용함으로써 X65강 용접부의 수소취화에 의한 강도변화를 민감하게 평가할 수 있었다. 산출된 데이터의 통계적인 처리를 통해 강도변화값을 예측할 수 있었음도 보였다.

용접기술의 발달과 더불어 기계, 교량, 선박 그리고 가스설비 등의 제작공정을 위하여 용접의 이용이 증가하고 있다. 따라서 그들의 용접 구조물 제작을 위하여 높은 생산성과 안전설계를 고려하는 용접 법을 개발하는 것이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 재료 두께, 용접층수, 하중 방향 그리고 토우부의 노치 반경과 관련하여 완전 용입 십자형 필릿 용접부의 피로강도 및 피로수명의 특성에 대하여 기초적으로 고찰하였다. 대부분의 피로파괴는 십자형 필릿 용접의 토우부에서 발생하였다. 피로강도 및 피로수명은 토우 부의 노치 반경과 플랭크 각에 의한 응력집중의 영향을 받고 있다. 토우부의 금속이 다층 용접에 의하여 어닐링 되고 확산 되었으며 그 결과 침상 페라이트 조직이 형성되어 피로강도와 피로수명을 향상시켰다.
