The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is promoting the transition to eco-friendly fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia, with the goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping sector by 2050. Hydrogen does not emit greenhouse gases, but it must be stored at an extremely low temperature of -253°C when stored as a liquid. 316L stainless steel is mainly used as a tank material to store liquid hydrogen. FCAW (Flux Cored Arc Welding) is known for its excellent weldability with 316L stainless steel, and it is particularly suited for welding thick metals efficiently, making it an ideal choice for storage tank welding. Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis can simulate the thermal and mechanical deformations occurring during welding with high precision, allowing for accurate prediction of deformation patterns and the derivation of optimal welding conditions. This ensures the stability and quality of the structure while reducing costs. In this study, FCAW butt welding was performed on 316L stainless steel, followed by cross-sectional observation and deformation measurement of the weld area. Based on the cross-sectional observation, a 3D FE model was designed, and heat transfer analysis was conducted. Subsequently, thermo-mechanical analysis was carried out to predict welding deformation.

Stainless steel is used in many industrial fields due to its excellent properties such as workability, strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance, and various properties required in the manufacturing field depending on the constituent components. pump impellers used in seawater and underwater require high corrosion resistance and high rigidity to prevent corrosion and damage, so they are a representative part group to which Stainless materials are applied. Through the introduction of the CMT(Cold Metal Transfer) process, a manufacturing method through WAAM(Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) technology, which has advantages of lower production cost and excellent fatigue strength compared to the existing casting method, is being proposed. Recently, prior research on the WAAM process has been conducted on various materials, but most of the research results published so far are focused on the DED(Direct Energy Deposition) process, and a good WAAM shape design study using austenitic stainless steel is lacking. in this study, using the CMT process, the relationship between the change in bead shape and process parameters was confirmed in the BoP(Bead on Plate) welding experiment using wire made of austenitic stainless steel STS-308.

현재 중소형선박의 동력전달용 스테인리스 추진축계가 많이 사용되고 있으나 선미를 통과하는 선미관 패킹부, 베어링이 작용하는 접촉부 등에서 마모, 축의 재질불량이나 설계 불량으로 인하여 축이 절손되는 경우가 많다. 프로펠러축이 과다마모 또는 절손으로 파단시 새로운 축으로 전환하고 있으나 축을 새것으로 구입하려면 주문, 제작 등에 따라 상당한 비용이 소요된다. 또한 축을 육성 용접하는 경우는 해양수산관청의 승인을 득하도록 되어 있으나 지금까지 승인이 된 경우가 없었다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 직접 스테인리스 재료를 육성 용접하면서 모재와 비교하여 용접에 따른 금속조직의 변화, 결함의 계측 등을 규명하여 해양수산관청의 승인에 필요한 용접 절차, 검사에 필요한 사항 등을 검토하였다.

오스테나이트계 스테인리스강은 우수한 내식성, 내구성 및 내화성을 지닌다. 특히, 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강중의 대표인 STS304에 비해 저탄소를 함유하고 있는 STS304L은 현장용접 후 별도의 열처리 없이 높은 내입계부식성능을 지니고 있어 용접후 내입계 부식이 우려되는 부재접합에 적용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 티그(TIG)용접으로 필릿 용접된 STS304L 용접접합부의 용접재(용착금속부) 내력과 파단 메카니즘을 조사하고자 한다. 주요변수인 하중방향에 대한 용접선의 배치에 따라 TFW(하중직각방향 용접), LFW(하중방향용접), FW (하중방향용접과 하중직각방향 용접조합)시리즈의 실험체를 제작하여 인장실험을 실시하였고, 각각 인장파단,전단파단, 블록전단파단(인장 파단과 전단파단의 조합)이 발생하였다. 동일 용접길이에 대해 TFW 시리즈의 접합부가 가장 높은 내력을 나타났으며, 현행기준식( KBC2016/AISC2010)과 기존 연구자의 식에 의한 예측내력과 비교한 결과, TFW와 LFW접합부는 과소평가되었고 FW실험체는 과대평가되었다 .실제 파단 위험단면과 블록전단파단 메카니즘을 고려한 내력식을 제안하였다.

In this paper, block shear fracture behavior in base metal of fillet-welded connection fabricated with duplex stainless steel (STS329FLD) were investigated through experimental procedures. Main variables are weld lengths in the longitudinal and the transverse directions of applied force. As a result, test specimens failed by typical block shear facture (the combination of tensile fracture and shear-out fracture) in base metal not weld metal. Ultimate strength of the specimens tended to get higher with the increase of the weld lengths.

Ultimate behaviors such as ultimate strength and fracture mechanism of fillet-welded connections with TIG(tungsten inert gas) welding have been investigated through test results. Main variables of specimens are weld length and welding direction against loading and ultimate strengths were compared according to the variables. Ultimate strengths were compared with current design predictions and modified design equations were proposed to consider the strength difference according to welding direction.
