세계적인 환경 규제로 인해 마그네슘 합금과 같은 경량 소재에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있으며, 마그네슘 합금 소재의 다양한 산업계 적용을 위한 용접 및 접합 방식에 대한 연구도 지속적으로 수행되고 있다. 앞선 Part I 연구에서는 마그네슘 합금에 대한 파이버 레이저 Bead on Plate(BOP) 실험을 수행하여 맞대기 용접 조건의 확보를 위한 기초 연구를 수행하였으며, 본 연구에서는 Part I의 기초 BOP 실험에서 도출된 적합한 레이저 출력과 용접 속도를 바탕으로 두께 3mm의 AZ31B 마그네슘 합금에 대해 맞대기 용접을 시행하였고, 인장시험 및 경도시험을 수행한 후 기계 물성 데이터를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 레이저 출력 2.0 kW, 50 mm/s (Heat input)의 조건에서 항복강도 151.5 MPa, 인장강도 224.1 Mpa으로 우수한 인장, 항복강도를 얻을 수 있었다.

Because of the International Maritime Organization(IMO)'s regulation to regulate emissions of ships, a change is taking place to replace ship fuels from Heavy Fule Oil(HFO) to Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG). In the case of LNG, it is a material obtained by liquefying Natural Gas(NG), and it is -163 degrees below zero, and the volume is reduced to 1/600 level. The material of the tank that can store LNG must be a material that can safely store LNG in a cryogenic environment, and the materials of the tank that can store LNG are limited in the International Code of the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk(IGC Code). Among the materials listed in the IGC Code, 9% nickel steel is used as a material for LNG fuel propulsion tanks that are recently ordered because of relatively high mechanical properties under cryogenic environments. In this study, the mechanical properties of butt welds were measured following the weld reliability evaluation of Flux Cored Arc Welding(FCAW) butt welds made of 9% nickel steel by PARTI. The measured mechanical properties are tensile strength, bending strength, hardness, and cryogenic impact test required by the classification for Welding Procedure Specification(WPS) approval.

Among the materials listed in the IGC Code, 9% nickel steel is used as a material for LNG fuel propulsion tanks that are recently ordered because of relatively high mechanical properties under cryogenic environments. In this study, butt welding was performed on a 9% nickel steel material using Flux Cored Arc Welding(FCAW), the most widely used welding method in shipyards. In PARTI, after securing the welding conditions, cross-sectional observation results analysis, liquid penetrating test, and radiographic test were performed to verify the reliability of the weld.

As the International Maritime Organization (IMO)'s environmental regulations on ship emissions become strict, the demand for ships powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is rapidly increasing worldwide. Compared to other materials, high manganese steel has the advantages of superior impact toughness at cryogenic temperatures, a small coefficient of thermal expansion, and low cost of base materials and welding rods. However, there is a limitation in that the mechanical properties of the filler material are lower than the base material having excellent mechanical properties. In this study, after performing a high manganese steel laser butt welding experiment, the welding performance was evaluated through mechanical property (yield strength, tensile strength, hardness, cryogenic impact strength) tests of the weld. As a result, it was observed that the yield strength and tensile strength of the high manganese steel laser welding part was 97.5% and 93.5% of the base metal respectively. Also the hardness of welding part was 84.2% of the base metal. The cryogenic impact strength of the welding part and the base metal were over the 27J, the level of welding part is 76.1% of the base metal.

LNG makes cryogenic conditions, so metals without low-temperature brittleness must be used. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) defines 9% Nickel steel, STS304L, 36% Nickel steel and Al5083 as metals that can be used in cryogenic conditions through the IGC Code. In this study, Al5083-O was studied to minimize welding distortion, and verified through finite element analysis and experiments. The block dumping method, which is advantageous in terms of analysis time and cost, was used, not the continuous heat source method. The constraint models with the thickness direction and the tensile force model were compared with the reference model, it was confirmed that the tensile force model had no significant effect. After verifying through the experiment, it was confirmed that the trend of the finite element analysis model was consistent with the experiment. Through this study, a welding distortion minimization model could be found with the block dumping method. It is judged that simulation of many models through short time analysis will be of great help in the field.
