사용중인 중화학 설비의 재료물성의 경년열화적 특성을 평가하기 위하여 기존 실험법의 인장시험편이나 충격시험편을 채취하기는 실제적으로 불가능하다. 인장강도등 인장특성과 비교한 결과 인장강도, 연신율, 항복강도, 종탄성계수와 소형펀치실험의 각 특성과 선형적 관계를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 경년열화도를 평가하는 두구인 파면천이온도(FATT)와 비교하기 위하여 저온 소형펀치실험을 실시한 결과 충격실험을 통하여 구한 FATT온도와 소형펀치실험의 천이온도 ( $T_{sp}$ )와 일정한 관계가 있음이 밝혀져 사용재의 열화도를 평가할 수 있다.

The hydrogen embrittlement of metallic materials is an important issue from the viewpoint of structural integrity. In this regard, the estimation of mechanical properties and fracture toughness under hydrogen conditions provides very important data. This study provides an experimental validation of the approach for simulating the small punch of Inconel 617 using finite element damage analysis, as recently proposed by the authors, and applies an inverse method for the determination of the constitutive tensile behavior of materials. The mechanical properties obtained from the inverse method are compared with those obtained from the tensile test and validated. The mechanical properties and fracture toughness are predicted by using the inverse method and finite element damage analysis.

원자로 압력용기 저합금강들은 원자로 가동 중 중성자 조사에 의해 재질열화 (material degradation)가 발생한다. 그러므로 계속적인 재질열화의 평가는 발전소의 수명을 예측, 평가하기 위해서 매우 중요하다. 그러나 표준시편을 이용한 인장시험, 충격시험 및 파괴인성 시험법 등은 조사시편의 크기 및 수량에 제한이 따르고, 높은 방사능으로 인해 시험편의 취급에도 제약을 받게 된다. 따라서 소형시편을 이용한 재료의 손상평가기술의 필요성이 부각되었고, 소형펀치시험(small punch test, SP test)은 그 중 하나의 유용한 시험 방법이다.(중략)

For the conversion into hydrogen society, not only studying facilities of hydrogen production, storage, transportation and charging system but also developing technique of ensuring safety are essentially needed. Hence, for the first step of that, evaluated the hydrogen embrittlement of Inconel alloy 617, Ni-based super heat-resisting alloy, by small punch test. Prepared the various specimens through changing electrochemical charging time and measured the toughness degradation of the specimens by small-punch test. The analysis of hydrogen embrittlement behavior were carried out by investigating the fractured surface of specimens. This study has significance on revealing mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement behavior and the factor affecting hydrogen embrittlement in the future study.

In this study a relationship between SP curves and tensile properties was investigated by FE analysis on SP test with various assumed tensile properties. For the accuracy of FE analysis, SP test and tensile test were performed and those results were compared with FE analysis results. The yield load(Py) defined from the intersection point of two lines tangent to the elastic bending region and plastic bending region. And it was related specifically with yield stress(${\sigma}_0$) in FE analysis result curves. The slopes of FE analysis result curves normalized by yield stress(${\sigma}_0$) reflected the change of tensile properties regardless of yield stress(${\sigma}_0$) variation. Empirical relations were derived from these results. Tensile properties from these relations showed good agreement in FE analysis curve and tested curve.

An inverse method is presented to obtain material's flow properties by using small punch test. This procedure employs, as the objective function of inverse analysis, the balance of measured load-di splacement response and calculated one during deformation. In order to guarantee convergence to global minimum, simulated annealing method was adopted to optimize the current objective function. In addition, artificial neural network was used to predict the load-displacement response under given material parameters which is the most time consuming and limits applications of global optimization methods to these kinds of problems. By implementing the simulated annealing for optimization along with calculating load-displacement curve by neural network, material parameters were identified irrespective of initial values within very short time for simulated test data. We also tested the present method for error-containing experimental data and showed that the flow properties of material were well predicted.

The small punch test have been developed to evaluate the material strength of the power plant components. This small punch test specimen is very small than the conventional strength test specimens. Korea Electric Power Research Institute (KEPRI) have been applying this test to assess accurately the life of thermal power plant and enhancing the reliability. The small punch test for gas turbine blades is under development. It's possible to compare the relative strength among the same materials having different operation histories. In this paper, the strength reductions of gas turbine materials are investigated by the small punch tests. All materials shows the almost same strength and deformation with the allowable deviation. At the same test temperature, the damaged material has the maximum load value. The strength reduction is not shown in this small punch test results.
