Abstract

SAW (Submerged Arc Welding) is often used for ship construction or welding pressure vessels and involves spraying a flux in a powder form to a welding site to a certain thickness and continuously supplying electrode wires therein. This welding method enables high current welding up to 1,500 to 3,000 A. Arc efficiency is higher than 95% and the technique allows clean work as it creates less welding fume, which is composed of fine metal oxide particles, and the arc beam is not exposed. In this study, SM490C-TMC thick plates were heterogeneously welded by SAW. Mechanical properties of welds were measured, and welds were assessed macroscopically and for adhering magnetic particles. The following conclusions were drawn. Bending tests showed no spots exploded on sample surfaces or any other defect, and plastic deformation testing confirmed sufficient weld toughness. These results showed the 1F welding method has no shortcomings in terms of bending performance.

선박의 건조과정이나 압력용기의 몸체 부분을 용접할 경우 많이 사용되는 SAW(Submerged Arc Welding)는, 용접 부위에 분말 형태의 용제(Flux)를 일정 두께로 살포하고 그 속에 전극 와이어를 연속적으로 공급하여 용접이 이루어지는 방법으로 용접 시 발생되는 아크열이 외부로 노출되지 않는 특징이 있으며, 잠호용접으로 불리기도 한다. 또한 1,500~3,000A의 전류까지 통전 할 수 있는 고전류 용접이 가능하며 아크효율이 95% 이상, 미세한 금속 산화물 입자인 Welding Fume 발생량이 적고 아크광선이 외부로 노출되지 않아 청정한 작업이 가능하며 용입이 깊고 결함이 잘 발생하지 않아 용접 이음부의 신뢰도가 높다. 본 연구에서는 SM490C-TMC 후판을 서브머지드 아크용접(SAW)을 이용하여 이종 용접한 후 용접부의 기계적 특성을 인장, 경도, 매크로, 자분탐상 검사 결과를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 도출하였다. 굽힘 시험 결과 시료에서 표면의 터짐 현장이 발생하지 않았고 기타 결점의 유무를 확인할 수 없었으며, 이는 용접 이후 소성변형 과정에서도 충분한 인성을 발휘하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 1F 용접 방법이 굽힘 성능에 문제가 없는 것으로 판단되었다.
