본 연구에서는 HSA800 60mm 강재의 FCAW 용접성, 용접자세 및 이음성능을 확인하기 위해 용접자세 1G와 3G에 대한 FCAW 공시체를 제작하여 10종의 시험을 실시하였다. FCAW 1G 및 3G의 시험결과는 HSA800 강재의 KS 및 강도의 균질성에 대한 기준을 만족하며, 양호한 용접부로 나타났다. 그러나 용접부 평판 인장시험결과 FCAW 3G의 경우 용접기술 및 방법의 개선이 필요하다고 판단된다.

Finite element analysis and welding experiments were performed to evaluate deformation aspect for Flux Cored Arc Welding(FCAW) and Electro Gas Welding(EGW). Numerical researches of FCAW and EGW were performed considering the difference of number of welding pass and welding direction to arc flow. To perform the numerical study of FCAW and EGW, number of welding pass and welding direction to arc flow were considered in the finite element model. FCAW process requires multi pass and its welding direction is vertical to welding torch. On the other hand, EGW process requires single pass and its welding direction is parallel to welding torch. The difference of welding direction and heat input was considered in the finite element analysis. In FCAW process, Goldak's double ellipsoidal heat input model was adopted. In the EGW process, Hemi-spherical power density distribution was adopted. In the results of experiment and finite element analysis, angular deformation of FCAW process is larger than that of EGW process.

Thick plate is currently widely used in shipbuilding due to the increasing of size of ships. However, its use has increased welding groove angles and volume. The welder's technique must be good enough to improve productivity while preventing defects. Generally, the groove angle can be reduced to less than a flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) machine setting of $35{\pm}5^{\circ}$, requiring fewer welding passes while maintaining high productivity and reduced heat input. Therefore, welding technique can be prevented by improved mechanical properties and welding deformation. Welding defects such as lack of fusion (LF), lack of penetration (LP) and hot cracking should be considered when reducing the groove angle for related applications. In this study, a welding groove angle of $25{\pm}5^{\circ}$ is verified as suitable for FCAW design and fabrication. The experimental results confirm the effects on the strength characteristics of FCAW weldment when reducing groove angle to improve the productivity of shipbuilding industries.

FCAW(Flux Cored Arc Welding) is a widely used welding method in shipbuilding. It also conducts WPS(Welding Procedure Specification) requested by the classification variations of the factors which affect the quality on the welded area such as thickness of base metal, type of welding wire and shielding gas etc. which has to be satisfied. CO2 is commonly used as a shielding gas for FCAW due to the economic point of view. The amount of shielding gas is stated when classification certify WPS. However, the shielding gas is unnecessarily used at the shipyard leaning only on the welder's experience as there are classification standards for using the shielding gas. It causes production cost to rise. Also recently, CO2 is a main contributor for global warming, and large amounts of CO2 are discharged into the atmosphere during shipbuilding processes without any filtration. Therefore it was confirmed by the security of the welded area as a result of conducting the destructive and non-destructive tests with setting up the factors and the standards by using the Taguchi method. Then the FCAW shielding gas's amounts were calculated precisely when assembling a ship. It will be applied to cost reduction and prevention of environmental pollution at the shipyard.

Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), which has been widely used in many industries, was developed in the 1950s to supplement shortcomings of the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). FCAW has an advantage in that it can weld regardless of postures and give good quality results in the filed with many different working conditions. In this study, SM490A (rolled steel for welding structural purpose) with different thicknesses (L:25T+R:30T) were welded using FCAW. Then the mechanical properties (tension test, bending test, hardness test, impact test and macro test) were analyzed and the following conclusions were drawn. In the tensile test, it exceeds the KS standard tensile strength range (400~510) in all welding positions, which means there is a problem in the tensile force transmission performance. In the bending test, it was found that most of the specimens did not exhibit surface rupture or other defects during bending test and they exhibit sufficient toughness even after plastic deformation. In the hardness test, all the results were lower than the standard value of 350 Hv of KS B 0893, which means they have good hardness. In the impact test, all results were larger than the KS reference value of 27J. In the macro test, they showed uniform structure state by the shape of the weld, and there was risk of lamination because no internal defects, bubbles, or impurities were found on the surface of the weld.

Recently many research are going on in the field of application of Laser-Arc hybrid welding for superstructures such as ship-structures, transport vehicles etc. however, the study on heat distribution and welding residual stress of hybrid weld by numerical simulation leaves much to be desired. Therefore a Finite Element based numerical comparison of heat distribution and thermal history in both the FCAW and Hybrid welding been made in this study. Based on this thermal outputs from the present model could be sequentially coupled to suitable mechanical models to predict appropriate mechanical characteristics such as residual stress.

Generally, porosity which was formed by pyrolysis of the primer is usually generated in the weld metal in respect of increase of the welding speed. in order to analyze the cause of porosity generation, this study was performed using FCAW(flux cored arc welding) process for three kinds of inorganic.zinc primer. in addition the evaluation by influence of welding method on porosity generation is conducted to compare between FCAW and MAG(metal active gas) welding with the same inorganic zinc primer. As the result of this investigation, not only primer of lower organic binder and zinc but also FCAW process than MAG in fillet welding have been verified the excellent resistance to the porosity generation for horizontal fillet welding.

It was attempted to improve seam-tracking performance by applying a new arc-sensing algorithm for FCAW(flux-cored arc welding) process in fillet joints. For this study the authors have introduced three different weight factors: $\circled1$ arc currents at the weaving end are more weighted, $\circled2$ arc currents are evenly weighted along the weaving, and $\circled3$ arc currents at the weaving center are more weighted. To evaluate the 3 factors the values of signal-to-noise(S/N) ratio has been measured. The values were obtained for various welding conditions with different gaps in horizontal and vertical fillet joints. The test results showed that the S/N ratio of the 1st case was highest which resulted in the best of seam tracking performance. In addition, the comparison between the seam tracking performance in horizontal fillet joints and that in vertical ones has been done, and the result showed that tracking performance in vertical joints was relatively better than that in horizontal joints.
