Effect of Water-Cooling of Opposite SIde Caused by the Welding of Hull Internal on Weld Properties

이면 수냉이 용접부 물성에 미치는 영향

Welding sometimes should be done inside-hull after launching. The opposite side is contacted sea-water In this case, it should be a concern that the cooling rate expected very rapid may deteriorate microstructures, and hence these microstructures are hardened, cracking happens, or toughness would be impaired. Therefore, a test program simulating the situation has been planned and welded using the ship class materials (AH32, EH36) with the related welding consumables (E71Tl-1, E81Tl-K2) and then carried out to investigate the effect of cooling rate on weldments quality. Based on the test results, it could be concluded that the welds of which the opposite side of arc is exposed to wet or flowing water are not affected by rapid cooling.
