The purpose of this research is to design an imitation boiler similar to the waste heat boiler installed on a plasma melting furnace in order to acquire a capability of a thermal design as to the circulation of heat and the discharge of noxious gas inside a boiler and to improve the efficiency of a waste heat boiler using the CFD (Computation Fluid Dynamics) program. The position of corrosion and the generation of a clinker inside a boiler due to temperature changes, combustion gas flows, and corrosive gases inside a boiler are examined to design the structure of an efficient boiler and recycle energy. As a result of this research, the boiler installed on a plasma melting furnace met the conditions of design by cooling the combustion gases discharged after the second combustion from an exhaust port, originally at 1,200 degrees Celsius, down to around 450 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, the circulation of corrosive gases (SOx and HCL) may lead to the generation of corrosion or a clinker in the upper and lower parts of an exhaust port more easily than any other parts of a boiler. Accordingly, the corrosion on the inside and outside walls of a boiler may result in a shortened lifespan of a boiler and an inability to recycle waste heat in an efficient manner. A prevention against corrosion at high and low temperatures needs to be considered in detail.

Although leakage at a low carbon steel pipe made by electrical resistance welding(ERW) was reported due to grooving corrosion, the cause for the corrosion has not yet been cleared. So lots of researches were carried out already about grooving corrosion mechanism of ERW carbon steel pipe but there is seldom study for water hammer happened by fluid phenomenon and corrosion rate by flow velocity. In this study, the corrosion test carried out using the ERW carbon steel pipe by changed the water speed and heat input in a month. The level of dissolved oxygen is maintained 5~5.5mg/l(amount of dissolved oxygen in tap water). The water speed for corrosion test is 1m/s, 2m/s, 3m/s. As the results, grooving corrosion rate is increased cause by water speed in the pipe. In the case of the ERW pipe with more heat input, grooving corrosion rate is decreased. It is therefore that welding heat input should be controlled based on the carbon content of the pipe in order to improve the corrosion reistance of the ERW pipe.

첨가원소에 따른 지르코늄합금의 재결정화 거동이 조사되었다. Zr-1.0 wt.% Nb-04 wt% Sn 합금에 V, Mo 및 Fe의 소량첨가원소를 각각 0.3 wt. % 첨가시켜 판재로 가공후 500-600 $^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 시간에 따른 경도변화 및 미세조직변화를 추적하였다. Fe가 첨가안된 Zr-1.0 wt.% Nb-0.4 wt.% Sn 합금과의 재결정현상을 비교할 때, 0.22 wt.%의 Fe의 첨가는 지르코늄합금의 재결정을 가속화시켰다. 그러나 소량의 V 또는 Mo의 첨가는 지르코늄합금의 재결정을 더디게 하였으며, 경도의 증가를 야기시켰다. 본연구결과는 지르코늄합금에 미소첨가되는 Fe가 지르코늄의 격자확산 및 치환확산을 가속한다는 것을 확증적으로 보여주는 것으로 중성자 조사조건에서 증폭해서 나타나는 조사성장, 부식, 크립등의 여러가지 현상들 (irradiation induced phenomena)도 미소첨가된 Fe의 재배열과 관계가 있는것으로 사료된다.

배에서는 부식과 쇠모 현상이 해상 상태와 주변 환경에 의해 성장하게 되면 파구가 생기면서 이로 인해 해난 사고의 원천적인 원인이 된다는 사실을 여기서 예를 들어서 기술했다. 이런 이 유로부터 어떤 방법을 사용하든 간에 배의 방식에 관한 배려가 충분히 이루어져야만 하겠으며 그리고 배에서 방식에 대해 어느 정도의 Cost가 들었는가가 배의 경제적인 가치를 좌우한다고 본다. 즉 배에서는 반드시 신조시에는 충분한 방식 대책을 강구를 해서 적절한 보수 관리를 행 하는 방법이 초기 투자액을 확보하는 것보다도 안정성에 부가해서 경제적으로도 상당히 유리하 다는 사실이 상기의 사실로부터 알 수가 있다. 방식 시방도 경년의 열화 현상으로 인해서 산만 해짐이 상당히 큰데 이것도 취항후의 방식 관리에 의존케 되지만 신조시의 방식 검사의 중요성을 충분히 인식하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그리고 '개발중인 방법'은 일반적인 방법이 아니기 때문에 앞으로 많은 연구가 있어야 하겠다.

최근 해안환경하에 있는 콘크리트구조물의 철근부식은 구조물의 내구성 저하 및 유지관리라는 차원에서 커다란 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이와 같은 현상은 해양구조물의 건설이 날로 증가하고 있고, 또 콘크리트 제조시 잔골재의 일부를 염분이 함유된 해사를 사용함으로써 더욱 심각해지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 표면으로부터 침투해 들어오는 침입염분의 거동을 모델화하였으며, 콘크리트 세공속의 수용액상에 있은 염화물이온의 확산을 포함하는 물리 화학적 진행, 시멘트 수화물에 고정되는 염분의 흡착과 탈착 및 고정염과의 화학반응 등의 현상을 유한요소법에 의해 해석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 콘크리트 내부의 철근 발청시기의 예측, 해안환경하에 있는 콘크리트 구조물의 침투 염분에 의한 콘크리트 덮개의 결정, 콘크리트 구조물의 염화물이온의 허용치 설정을 비롯하여 내구년수를 예측하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Metal filter elements were newly introduced to the high temperature filter(HTF) system in the low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste vitrification plant. In order to evaluate the performance of various metal materials as filter media, elements made of AISI 316L, AISI 904L, and Inconel 600 were included to the test set of filter elements. At the visual inspection to the elements performed after completion of each test, a few dark spots were observed on the surface of some elements. Especially they were found much more at the AISI 316L elements than others. To check the dark spots are the corrosion phenomena or not, two kinds of analyses were performed to the tested filter elements. Firstly, the surfaces or the cross sections of filter specimens cut out from both normal area and dark spot area of elements were analyzed by SEM/EDS. The results showed that the dark spots were not evidences of corrosion but the deposition of sodium, sulfur and silica compounds volatilized from waste or molten glass. Secondly, the ring tensile strength were analyzed for the ring-shape filter specimens cut out from each kind of element. The result obtained from the strength tested showed no evidence of corrosion as well. Conclusionally, depending on the two kinds of analysis, no evidences of corrosion were found at the tested metal filter elements. But the dark spots formed on the surface could reduce the effective filtering area and increase the overall pressure drop of HTF system. Thus, continuous heating inside filter housing up to dew point will be required normally. And a few long-period test should be followed for the exact evaluation of corrosion of the metal filter elements.

The purpose of this study was to investigate further the mechanics of failure of magnets used for denture retention. Dyna magnets were retrived from denture that had failed after 34 months of clinical use. The magnets were observed and sectioned in order to analyse with high resolution scanning electron microscope. From this study, corrosion behaviors of used magnetic attachment were analysed. The results were as follows ; 1. In Nd-Fe-B based magnetic materials, the erosion-corrosion was started at ununiformed part of stainless steel cover. 2. Corrosion was initiated at weared stainless steel surface and then magnetic materials were spalled by corrosive solution. 3. Spatting was occurred in Nd-Fe-B magnet materials due to corrosion products and then corrosion rate was increased drastically. 4. Corrosion started from ununiformed stainless steel surface as well as welded zone. In conclusion, the failure of magnets may occur by either breakdown of the welding or breakdown of the encapsulating material. So, it is considered that the corrosion problem of dental magnetic materials could be solved to some extent with surface treatment of dental magnetic materials.

Feedwater heaters of many nuclear power plants have recently experienced severe wall thinning damage, which will increase as operating time progresses. Several nuclear power plants in Korea have experienced wall thinning damage in the area around the impingement baffle inside feedwater heater installed downstream of the turbine extraction stream line. At that point, the extract steam from the turbine is two phase fluid at high temperature, high pressure, and high speed. Since it flows to reverse direction after impinging the impingement baffle, the shell wall of feedwater heaters may be affected by flow-accelerated corrosion. In this paper, to compare degree of shell wall thinning mitigation rate to squared type with mitigation rate of other type baffle plate, four different types of impingement baffle plate-squared, curved, mitigating type and multi-hole type-applied inside the shell. With these comparison data, this paper describes operation of experiments and numerical analysis which is composed similar condition with real feed water heater. And flow visualization is operated for verification of experiments and numerical analysis. In conclusion, this study shows that mitigating type and multi-hole type baffle plate are more effective than other baffle plate about prevention of pressure concentration and pressure value decrease.

When pipe components made of carbon steel in nuclear, fossil, and industry plants are exposed to flowing fluid, wall thinning caused by FAC(flow accelerated corrosion) can be generated and eventually ruptured at the position of pressure boundary. The aim of this study is to identify the locations at which local wall thinning occurs and to determine the turbulence coefficient related to local wall thinning. Experiment and numerical analyses for the tee sections of down scaled piping components were performed and the results were compared. In particular, flow visualization experiment which was used alkali metallic salt was performed to find actual location of local wall thinning inside tee components. In order to determine the relationship between turbulence coefficients and local wall thinning, numerical analyses were performed for tee components in the main feedwater systems. The turbulence coefficients based on the numerical analyses were compared with the local wall thinning based on the measured data. From the comparison of the results, the vertical flow velocity component(Vr) flowing to the wall after separating in the wall due to the geometrical configuration and colliding with the wall directly at an angle of some degree was analogous to the configuration of local wall thinning.

The materials used in a ship screw propeller are commonly made with brass. The seawater corrosion and seawater cavitation of the screw propeller reduces the propulsive performance of the ship. In screw manufacturing, the corrosion rust of the screw propeller is removed through a hand grinding method. The grinding process produces dust of the heavy metals from the brass. The dust creates a poor working environment that is harmful to the health of the workers. An automatic corrosionrust removing apparatus, using a blasting method, was developed for the improvement of screw polishing conditions and its working environment. The performance of this apparatus was investigated by surface roughness, weight loss rate, hardness, electrochemical corrosion resistance, and cavitation erosion, after removing of the corrosion rust under various blasting conditions. Two medias of alumina and emery were used in this experiment. The surface roughness and hardness of the screw were improved by this apparatus. The electrochemical corrosion potential (Ecorr) and current density (Icorr) were measured by the dynamic polarization method, using a potentiostat,under the conditions of surface polishing with grinding, blasting, wire brushing, and fine sand papering. The test results prove that the new corrosion rust-removing apparatus improves the surface performance of a screw propeller.
