Abstract

In this study, the Charpy impact test along with metallurgical observation was conducted to evaluate low temperature impact toughness of structural steel welds with different welding processes to find out the optimal welding process to guarantee the required impact toughness at low temperatures. The welding processes employed are shield metal arc welding (SMAW) and flux cored arc welding(FCAW), which are commonly used welding methods in construction. The Charpy impact test is a commercial quality control test for steels and other alloys used in the construction of metallic structures. The test allows the material properties for service conditions to be determined experimentally in a simple manner with a very low cost. To investigate the impact toughness at low temperatures of the steel welds, specimens were extracted from the weld metal and the heat affected zone. Standard V-notch Charpy specimens were prepared and tested under dynamic loading condition. The low temperature impact performance was evaluated based on the correlation between the absorbed energy and the microstructure. Analysis of the results showed that the optimal welding process to ensure the higher low temperature impact toughness of the HAZ and the weld metal is SMAW process using the welding consumable for steels targeted to low temperature use.

본 논문에서는 서로 다른 용접방법 및 용접재료를 사용하여 제작한 강구조물 용접부 및 열영향부에 대하여 샤르피 충격시험 (Charpy Impact Test) 및 조직검사를 통한 저온에서의 충격인성 평가를 실시하여, 극지 및 시베리아와 같은 저온환경에 노출된 강구조물 용접 접합부의 충격인성을 확보할 수 있는 용접방안에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 사용된 용접방법은 강구조물 제작시 널리 쓰이는 SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding)와 FCAW (Flux Cored Arc Welding)이며, 각 용접방법에 따른 저온강용 용접봉을 사용하여 시험판을 제작하였다. 서로 다른 용접방법으로 제작된 시험판의 용접부 및 열영향부에 대하여 샤르피 충격시험을 통한 저온에서의 충격흡수에너지 값과 미세조직 분석을 통하여 용접방법에 따른 구조용강 용접 접합부의 저온 충격인성을 평가하였다. 시험결과 극한지에 강구조물을 적용하기 위해서는 저입열 용접인 SMAW 용접방법 및 그에 따른 저온강용 용접봉을 사용하는 것이 충격인성 확보 측면에서 유리하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
