원자로 압력용기 용접열영향부의 세부영역별 열 cycle 재현(simulation) 시험편을 제작하여 기계적 특성시험, 미세조직시험 및 magnetic Barkhausen noise (BN) 측정을 수행하였다. 각 영역에서 보자력(coercivity)은 크게 변하지 않았으나, Barkhausen noise (BN) 는 현격한 차이를 볼 수 있었다. 용접열영향부 각 위치에 대한 BN 는 미세조직과 기계적특성의 변화와 어느정도 특징적 변화를 보였으나, 미세조직 인자별로 정량적인 관계를 찾기 위하여는 더욱 더 많은 연구가 필요한 것으로 보였다. 이는 BN 의 변화에 미치는 영향인자가 미세조직적으로 매우 복잡한 관계를 갖기 때문으로 생각되었다.

용접성은 모재의 조직과 기계적 성질 및 Bond 부와 열영향부의 조직과 기계적 성질의 관계로 평가된다. 탈소 함량이 높은 레일강의 경우 용접을 하고 나면 열영향부에 마르텐사이트와 같은 취약조직을 형성하여 경도 값이 높아지고 인성이 저하되어 균열발생 가능성이 높아진다. (중략)

용접열영향부는 최고 도달온도로부터의 거리에 따른 온도구배 변화와 급격한 열 사이 클 때문에 조직 및 물성치의 변화가 예상되는 영역이므로 인성저하등 취성이 잠재적으로 내포된 지역임을 쉽게 예상할 수 있다. 따라서 송전 철탑용 STKT 590 용접열영향부에서의 상변태 거동과 미세조직의 변화에 따른 기계적 특성을 파악하여 용접부의 안전성 확보를 위해 용접열영향부(HAZ)의 상변태거동과 미시파괴기구를 연구하고 개선안을 도출할 필요가 있다.

ASME SA508 Class 3 원자로압력용기강을 대상으로, 용접열영향부(heat affected zone, HAZ)의 최고온도(peak temperature) 등온분포도(isothermal diagram)를 작성 및 해석하였고, 재현(simulated) 열영향부 시험편을 제작하여 미세조직검사 및 기계적특성 시험을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 최고온도 등온분포도를 이용하여, 미소열영향부(subzone of HAZ)의 미세조직(microstructure)에 미치는 예열(preheat)온도와 용접입열량(weld heat input)의 크기 효과를 예측할 수 있었다. 또한, 재현 HAZ 의 기계적특성 시험결과, 용접용융선(fusion line) + 1 mm 이내의 위치로 대표되는 열 cycle 조건에서는 모재보다 양호한 강도와 인성을 보였고, 용접용융선 + 2~3mm부근에서 가장 미세한 조직(fine tempered lower bainite)과 우수한 충격인성을 나타냈다. 한편, 용접용융선 + 약 5mm 위치에서의 열 cycle 을 재현한 시험편에서는 미세조직의 변화(spheroidization of carbides)와 함께 인성 및 기계적 특성이 저하하여 모재보다 낮은 값을 보이는 것을 발견할 수 있었다.

This paper reports the steady-state stresses within the heat affected zone (HAZ) of a welded straight pipe subject to creep. The creep constants and exponent are varied systematically to see the effect of various mismatches in creep properties on the steady-state creep stresses, via detailed two-dimensional finite element (FE) creep analyses. The weldments consist of the base metal and weld metal with the HAZ, which are characterized using the idealized power creep laws with the same creep exponent. The internal pressure and axial loading are considered to see the effect of the loading mode. To quantify the creep stresses, a creep mismatch factor is introduced as a function of the creep constants and exponent. It is concluded that the ratio of the section-averaged stresses for a mismatched case to those for an evenmatched case are linearly dependent on the mismatch factor. The results are compared with the FE results, including the Type IV region, as well as the R5 procedure.

The 7075-T651 Al alloy was welded by friction stir welding. Microstructure, macro behaviors and fracture type in the nugget, thermo-mechanically affected zone(TMAZ) and heat affected zone(HAZ) of the welded part were compared to base metal. The microsturctures of nugget zone were compared with tool rotation speeds and various tool transition speed. When the rotation speeds were decreased and transition speeds were increased, the hardness of nugget zone were decreased. Also, the optimal microstructure was observed at the low rotation speed of 800rpm and the high transition speed of 124mm/min. The transgranular dimple and quasi-cleavage at fractured part of nugget zone were investigated.

Welding is a well-developed, widely used process for permanently joining metal components. However, the mechanical reliability of welded parts still offers room for improvement. A weld region consists of a fusion zone, a partially melted zone, and a heat-affected zone, and each zone has different material properties. In addition, the geometrical shape of a weld bead or fillet influences the mechanical reliability. A precise structural analysis must consider how a local welded region influences the mechanical behavior of the entire structure. This study focuses on an effective modeling scheme for the weld region. It relies on experimental and numerical methods to determine the proper correlation based on experimental results and to propose a modeling scheme for welded parts.

Fatigue crack propagation of duplex stainless steel weldments was studied to develop further phenomenological understanding of the influences of welding heat cycle accompanying microstructural changes. Fatigue tests were carried out under constant amplitude of load in air at room temperature. The results showed that the crack propagation rate was different in base metal, heat affected zone and welding line. The crack propagation behavior in each part of duplex stainless steel was strongly dependent on phase ratio(.gamma../.alpha.) and several factors of microstructure also affected this propagation behavior. The fractographic feature in each part of steel were discussed on crack propagation behaviors.

This paper shows mechanical properties and behaviors of macro- and micro-structures on friction stir welded specimen with 6061-T6 aluminum alloy plate. It apparently results in defect-free weld zone jointed at welding conditions like the traverse speed of 267mm/min, tool rotation speed of 2500rpm, pin inserted depth of 4.5mm and tilting angle of $2^{\circ}$ with tool dimensions such as tool pin diameter of 5mm, shoulder diameter of 15mm and pin length of 4.5mm. The tensile stress ${\sigma}_T=228MPa$ and the yield point ${\sigma}Y=141MPa$ are obtained at the condition of traverse speed of 267mm/min and tool rotation speed of 2500rpm. With the constant rotation speed, the higher traverse speed become, the higher tensile stress and yielding point become. Vickers hardness for welding zone profile were also presented.

Injection molds are generally fabricated by assembling a number of plates in which the core and cavity components are assembled. This assembled structure has a number of contact interfaces where the heat transfer characteristics are affected by thermal contact resistance. In previous studies, numerical approaches were investigated to predict the effect of thermal contact resistance on the temperature distribution of injection molds. In this study, thermal-fluid coupled numerical analyses are performed to take into account the thermal contact effect on the numerical evaluation of the mold filling characteristics. Comparisons with experimental results show that the proposed coupled analysis provides more reliable results than the conventional analyses in predicting the mold filling characteristics by taking into account the effect of thermal contact resistance inside the injection mold assembly.
