Abstract

In this study, GTAW was carried out on austenitic STS316 stainless steel. Overlay welding with the stellite-base filler metal was implemented using a double torch. The response variable was calculated on the measured Vickers hardness for process optimization using the Taguchi method and its response variable was then analyzed about effect on overlay welding characteristics. The optimal process design by the Taguchi method is extremely effective in the overlay welding process for the multiple response variables. In addition, the effects of contribution rate about each response variable was analyzed easily. The conditions of the optimal process were 105A, 18V, pre-heat treatment at $200^{\circ}C$, and post weld heat treatment at $100^{\circ}C$. The Vickers hardness of the specimens produced under the optimal condition of GTAW by the double torch was 8.19% higher than that by a single torch.

본 연구에서는 STS316 스테인리스강에 가스텅스텐아크용접을 수행하였다. 더블토치 장치를 이용하여 스텔라이트계 육성용접을 실시하였고, 다구찌 기법을 적용하여 경도 측정값에 대한 응답변수를 산출하여 공정 최적화를 도출하였다. 또한 이 공정변수가 육성용접의 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 다구찌 기법에 의한 육성용접의 공정설계에 있어서 다중응답 변수를 고려한 최적공정설계는 매우 유효한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 각각의 응답변수에 대한 공정변수의 기여도 및 기여도에 대한 영향을 손쉽게 분석할 수 있었다. 육성용접에서 중요한 기계적 특성 요소인 경도값을 고려한 최적공정 조건은 전류 105 A, 전압 18V, 예열온도 $200^{\circ}C$, 후열온도 $100^{\circ}C$로 확인 되었다. 더블토치를 이용한 가스텅스텐아크용접의 최적조건에서 제작된 시험편의 경우 단일 토치를 사용 하였을 때 보다 더블토치를 사용하는 조건에 의해 제작된 시험편의 경우 경도는 8.19% 높은 양호한 특성을 나타내었다.
