A study on the corrosion behavior in case of As-welded and PWHT temperature 55$0^{\circ}C$ of welding part of RE36 steel for marine structure was investigated with parameters such as micro-Vickers hardness, corrosion potential measurement of weld metal(WM), base metal(BM) and heat affected zone(HAZ), both Al anode generating current and Al anode weight loss quantity under sacrificial anode cathodic protection conditions. And also we carried out slow strain rate test(SSRT) in order to research both limiting cathodic polarization potential for hydrogen embrittlement and optimum cathodic protection potential as well as mechanical properties by post-weld heat treatment(PWHT) effect. Hardness of HAZ was the highest among three parts(WM, BM and HAZ) and the highest galvanic corrosion susceptibility was HAZ. And the optimum cathodic polarization potential showing the best mechanical properties by SSRT method was from -770mV to -875mV(SCE). In analysis of SEM fractography, applied cathodic potential from -770mV to -875mV(SCE) it appeared dimple pattern with ductile fracture while it showed transgranular pattern (Q. C : quasicleavage) under -900mV(SCE). However it is suggested that limiting cathodic polarization potential indicating hydrogen embrittlement was under -900mV(SCE).

Extremely dense WC with a relative density of up to 99% was obtained within five minutes under a pressure of 80 MPa using the High-Frequency Induction Heated Sintering method. The average grain size of the WC was about 71 nm. The advantage of this process is not only rapid densification to obtain a neartheoretical density but also the prohibition of grain growth in nano-structured materials. The hardness and fracture toughness of the dense WC produced by HFIHS were $2660kg{\cdot}mm^{-2}$ and $7.2MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, respectively.

Steel columns used in steel buildings are inclined to lose their strength when exposed to severe fire conditions, so fire resistance is required in most countries to protect against loss of life and building collapses. In Korea, the fire resistance of columns can be obtained by the fire test defined in KS F 2257-1, 7. The fire resistance of a steel column should be evaluated in terms of the column's conditions, such as various section types (H-section, hollow-section), the column's length and boundary conditions, and whether it is fixed or hinged. However, fire testing of steel columns is usually conducted on one standard-sized H-section over 3,000 mm, and the result is used as the column's fire resistance. This is not a reasonable way to ensure that a building can withstand fire conditions. In this study, to evaluate the possibility of calculating the fire resistance of steel columns with material properties of high tensile strength of SS 400, both load-bearing fire tests and calculation of steel temperatures were carried out. The results of temperature calculation were very similar to those obtained by fire test.

High performance steel for bridges requires higher performance in tensile and yield strength, toughness, weldability, etc. The purpose of this study is to investigate the weldability of HSB 600 steel. The effects of heat input (1.4~3.2kJ/mm) and postweld heat treatment (PWHT, $600^{\circ}C$, 40hr.) on the TMCP HSB600 steel weldments made by GMAW process were investigated. The tensile strength and hardness of as-welded specimens decreased with increasing heat input. Charpy V-notch impact energy did not show any significant difference by postweld heat treatment. The fine-grained acicular ferrite was mainly formed in the 2.1kJ/mm of heat input while polygonal and side plate ferrites were dominated in the high inputs. Meanwhile, tensile strength and hardness of PWHT weldments decreased due to the coarsening and globularization of ferrite microstructure and reduction of residual stresses with increasing heat inputs. However, there was no significant difference in the impact energy absorption.

The shipbuilding industry uses large stationary tanks to store low-pressure air, which is used to open and close large shut-off valves. However, when supplying air from the tank to a distant valve, there are problems related to the need for supplementary pipes and the pressure drop during transportation. In this study, a portable welded vessel for storing high-pressure nitrogen (11 kg, 10 L, and 50 bar) was designed to prevent air leakage and improve the convenience of workers. This pressure vessel was elliptical to reduce the number of welded parts, which are structurally weak. The thickness and ratio of the major and minor axes of the pressure vessel were calculated to verify its structure stability at the working pressure (50 bar), and that the proposed weight and capacity were satisfactory. The residual stress caused by the welding process was calculated by performing a transient thermal-structural coupled field analysis using the ANSYS parametric design language (APDL), and the fatigue life of the vessel was verified based on the Goodman criterion.

Commercialization of flexible OLED displays, such as rollable and foldable displays, has attracted tremendous interest in next-generation display markets. However, during bending deformation, cracking and delamination of thin films in the flexible display panels are the critical bottleneck for the commercialization. Therefore, measuring mechanical properties of the fragile thin films in the flexible display panels is essential to prevent mechanical failures of the devices. In this study, tensile properties of the metal and ceramic nano-thin films were quantitatively measured by using a direct tensile testing method on the water surface. Elastic modulus, tensile strength, and elongation of the sputtered Mo, MoTi thin films, and PECVD deposited SiN_x thin films were successfully measured. As a result, the tensile properties were varied depending on the deposition conditions and the film thickness. The measured tensile property values can be applied to stress analysis modeling for mechanically robust flexible displays.

현재 상용화 되어있는 산소/질소 분리용 고분자 분리막은 비교적 낮은 선택도를 가지고 있다. 즉, 이점은 확산도와 용해도를 조절함으로써 분리막의 투과선택도를 높일 수 있는 가능성을 보여주고 있으며 보다 높은 투과도와 투과선택도를 갖는 새로운 고분자 재료의 선택이 분리막을 통한 기체 분리나 그 상업적 이용에 절실히 요구되고 있다. PSf는 상용성, 화학적 내구력, 강도, 높은 유리전이온도와 우수한 기체투과성질을 가진 고분자로 분리막에 많이 응용되고 있다. Erb 등은 용매로 DMF(dimethylformamide)와 THF(tetrahydrofuran)를 사용하여 막을 제조하였다. 상부 흐름압력이 5atm일때 각 기체의 투과도 계수는, 헬륨이 11, 이산화탄소가 5.5, 메탄이 0.5, 질소가 0.2였으며, PSf막에 대한 각 기체의 투과는 Henry mode보다 Langmuir mode에서 더욱 우세하게 일어난다고 생각하였다. 또한 Ghosal 등은 PSf에 nitro기를 도입한 nitrated PSf의 투과특성을 조사하였다. 실험결과 nitro group이 치환된 PSf막이 nitro group이 없는 막에 비해 투과도는 낮았지만 선택도는 증가하였다. 구조가 다른 여러가지의 PSf막을 통한 기체 투과성질은 Ghem 등에 의해 밝혀졌다. Membrane-covered probes를 이용한 폴라로그램(polarogram) 방법은 산소를 측정하는데 가장 보편적인 방업ㅂ으로, 산소 탐침(oxygen probe)의 원리는 소위 효소 전극을 발전시키는데 이용되어 왔다. 효소전극은 산소와 실험하고자 하는 물질간의 특정한 효소반응에 기초를 둔 다양한 물질의 선택적 측정을 위한 것이다. 이때 센서에 응용되는 합성막은 산소에 대해 선택적인 투과를 해야하며, 상대적으로 높은 산소확산계수와 물에 대해서는 낮은 투과도를 가져야 한다. 높은 산소확산계수는 반응을 빠르게 하는 잇점이 있으며 물에 대한 낮은 투과도는 센서내의 전해질 물질을 유지보호하는 역할을 한다. 분리막이 산소전극에 이용될 경우 높은 산소 확산계수 이외에도 적절한 기계적 강도, 열적 안정성 등이 요구된다.

Energy plays a significant role in modern lifestyle because of our extensive reliance over energy-operating devices. Therefore, there is a need for alternative and green energy resources that can fulfill the energy demand. For this, fuel cell (FCs) especially anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) have gained tremendous attention over the other (FCs) due to their fast reaction kinetics without using noble catalyst and allow to use of cheaper polymers with high performance. But lack of highly conductive, chemically, and mechanically stable anion exchange membrane (AEM) still main obstacle to the development of high performance AEMFCs. Therefore, graphene-based polymer composite membranes came into the existence as AEMs for the FCs. The exceptional properties of the graphene help to improve the performance of AEMs. Still, there are lot of challenges in the graphene derivatives based AEMs because of their high tendency of agglomeration in polymer matrix which reduced their potential. To overcome this issue surface modification of graphene derivatives is necessary to restrict their agglomeration and conserved their potential features that can help to improve the performance of AEM. Therefore, this review focus on the surface modification of graphene derivatives and their role in the fabrication of AEMs for the FCs.

Rotating bending fatigue tests of an authentic steel 304 were performed at various temperatures such as room temperature, $538^{\circ}$ and $593^{\circ}C$. The plastic replica method was also applied in order to estimate the fatigue life on the basis of serial observation of small fatigue crack initiation and growth on the pit specimen surface. The fatigue crack growth behavior of 304 stainless steel was investigated within the frame work of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics within a narrow scatterband in spite of different stress levels at elevated temperature as at room temperature. The growth law of small surface crack is determined uniquely by the term. $\DELTA\sigma^{n}a$ where $\DELTA\sigma$ is the stress amplitude, a is the crack length, and n is a constant. It is found that the small crack growth behavior is basically equivalent to the S-$N_{f}$ relationship, where S and $N_{f}$ are stress and number of cycles to failure, and the fatigue life prediction is in good agreement with the experimental results.

최근 자동차의 고속경향화 추세는 많은 진전을 보고 있으며 또 앞으로도 많은 연구와 노력이 경주되어야 하리라고 본다. 그 가운데 하나로 스프링의 경량화는 대략 다음과 같은 3방향에서 연구되고 있다. 1) 복합재료, 즉 GFRP(carbon fiber reinforced plastics), 나아가서는 BFRP(born fiber reinforced plastics)의 탄선과 경량성을 이용한 스프링. 2) 형상, 즉 구조적인 면에서 스프링소재를 후판으로 사용함으로서, 다매물에서 단매 또는 소수 매의 거물곡선 스피링(parabolic taper spring)으로의 변진. 3) 고응력 사용, 즉 종래의 스프링량보다 높은 탄성을 가진 재료로써 스프링 응력을 톺게 사용할 수 있는 강종의 개발 등이다. 특히 3)의 탄성한을 \ulcorner이는 문제는 2)의 후재화와 더불어 열처리성, 가공성 등이 문제가 되어 이에 따라 신강종으로서의 변천을 강요하게 된다. 그러므로 국제경쟁력을 강화하기 위하여 각국 들이 활발하게 연구 및 개발을 추진하고 있는 현상이다. 우리나라의 경우 현재 제작기술은 어느 정동 많이 축적되고 있으나, 아직 R&D면에서는 점진적으로 추진되고 있다. 이와 같은 실정에서 자동차산업의 국제화와 더불어 종래 사용된 스프링강재의 재검토가 우리나라에서도 긴급히 필 요하게 되었따. 그 예로서 KS SPS5(JIS SUP9)의 강종이 종래 일본에서 자동차용스프링의 대 종을 이루고 있던것이 최근에는 SUP9A로 전환되고 있다. 이것은 SUP9A는 SUP9보다 기계적 성질이 우수하며, 또한 자동차분야의 세계제일위인 미국의 SAE5160재와 일지되고 있다. 그러므로 국제화 경향과 더불어 SUP9종은 SUP9A로 전환되고 있으므로서 우리 나라의 경우에도 자동차 스프링의 수출용은물론이고, 국내용에도 SUP9A에 해당하는 규격이 제정되고, 또한 빠른 전환이 필요하다고 본다. 이와 같은 국제적인 추세는 SUP6을 SUP7H종으로 더욱 향상된 것이 실용 화되고 있다. 아래에서 이에 대한 기계적 특성을 중심으로 검토키로 한다.
