112-117

Purpose: The effects of flash butt welding parameters on mechanical properties were explored for mooring chain for offshore structure. Design/methodology/approach: Through the tensile strength, impact energy, hardness of weld, macrosection, microstructure and waveform analysis of the flash butt weld, following the change of the flash mode, flash length, upset mode, and upset length which are the parameters of the flash butt welding, the weld quality has been assessed. Findings: It is confirmed that even if the mechanical properties of the weld are satisfied through experiments, a weld defect may exist, and in case of using force mode in upset process, the mechanical characteristics of the weld is superior to position mode. Research limitations/implications: The optimal welding condition presented in this study may be changed in accordance with the chemical composition of the material, size of mooring chain. Practical implications: In this study, the suitable welding conditions were presented for securing a good weld quality of the high strength steel mooring chain for the offshore structure. Originality/value: Through this study, the correlation between the weld parameters and the weld quality in the flash butt welding was confirmed. Though the weld quality assessment, flash butt welding condition of the ř84 mm mooring chain for the offshore structure was presented.
