An attempt was made to evaluate the changes of microstructures and mechanical properties with increasing aging time in 2.25Cr-1Mo steel. In this study, it was verified the feasibility of the evaluation for degraded 2.25Cr-1Mo steel by isothermal heat treatment at $630^{\circ}C$ up to 1,000 hours using surface SH wave and investigated the change of attenuation coefficient and propagation time. Attenuation coefficient had a tendency to increase according to degradation and propagation time drastically in the beginning of deterioration. A good correlation between ultrasonic attenuation coefficient and hardness was found, which made sure that attenuation coefficient is an potential parameter for evaluation of aging degradation. In addition, it has verified experimentally the frequency dependence of ultrasonic group velocity and attenuation coefficient using wavelet transform.

Flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) of the carbon steel piping in nuclear power plants (NPPs) has been major issue in nuclear industry. During the FAC, a protective oxide layer on carbon steel dissolves into flowing water leading to a thinning of the oxide layer and accelerating corrosion of base material. As a result, severe failures may occur in the piping and equipment of NPPs. Effect of alloying elements on FAC of pipe materials was studied with rotating cylinder FAC test facility at $150^{\circ}C$ and at flow velocity of 4m/s. The facility is equipped with on line monitoring of pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen(DO) and temperature. Test solution was the demineralized water, and DO concentration was less than 1 ppb. Surface appearance of A 106 Gr. B which is used widely in secondary pipe in NPPs showed orange peel appearance, typical appearance of FAC. The materials with Cr content higher than 0.17wt.% showed pit. The pit is thought to early degradation mode of FAC. The corrosion product within the pit was enriched with Cr, Mo, Cu, Ni and S. But S was not detected in SA336 F22V with 2.25wt.% Cr. The enrichment of Cr and Mo seemed to be related with low, solubility of Cr and Mo compared to Fe. Measured FAC rate was compared with Ducreaux's relationship and showed slightly lower FAC rate than Ducreaux's relationship.

In this report for the assessment of creep properties of high-temperature tube materials in power plants, the long-time($10^4$~105h) creep life prediction by ISM for 2.25Cr1Mo steel was studied. It was clarified experimentally and quantitatively that the newly developed long-time creep life prediction equation was very coincident with the actual experimental data with high confidence, and the model was $t_r=\alpha\varepsilon_0^{\beta}\sigma^{-1}$.

고온에서 장시간 사용된 재료는 재질의 열화현상으로 인하여 재료의 인성이나 물성이 저하되고 재료의 수명이 한계를 가지게 된다. 이러한 열화 되는 물리적, 기계적 특성 변화는 파괴적 또는 비파괴적 방법에 의해 측정이 가능하다. 비파괴적 방법은 대상기기의 평가부위가 한정된다는 단점이 있으나 실제 사용기기를 훼손하지 않고 재료의 상태를 파악할 수 있는 장점이 있기 때문에 파괴적 방법에 비하여 효율적이다. 재료의 인성이나 물성의 저하를 평가하는 여러 가지 비파괴적 방법들이 있지만 장시간 사용에 따른 열화정도를 판별할 수 있는 정량적인 비파괴적 방법은 아직까지 큰 성과를 얻지 못하고 있다.

Surface replication is playing an important role in the assessment of creep damage and remaining life of high temperature components. As the replication procedures, however, have not been standardized in domestic industry, its standardization is proposed in this study. For this purpose, the 2.25Cr-IMo steel was heat treated(5 min at 1,300 0C and oil quenched) to produce a simulated HAZ microstructure, and crept in air at 575 0C and under 120 MPa to produce artificial cavities. Then, the effect of surface preparation procedures on the quality of replicas was investigated using this sample. As a result, it was demonstrated that the presence of cavities may be observed readily or missed depending on the surface preparation procedures followed. Therefore it is essential to repeat three polishing/etching cycles at least in order to reveal cavitation damage accurately, even though it may be tedious or time-consuming.

Thermal/cold spray deposition were used for additive manufacture of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel layers. Mechanically alloyed F/M ODS steel powders (Fe(bal.)-10Cr-1Mo-0.25Ti-0.35Y2O3 in wt.%) were sprayed by a high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) and cold spray methods. HVOF, as a thermal method, was used for manufacturing a 1 mm-thick ODS steel layer with a ~95% density. The source to objective distance (SOD) and feeding rate were controlled to achieve sound manufacturing. Y₂Ti₂O₇ nano-particles were preserved in the HVOF sprayed layer; however, unexpected Cr₂O₃ phases were frequently observed at the boundary area of the powders. A cold spray was used for manufacturing the Cr₂O₃-free layer and showed great feasibility. The density and yield of the cold spray were roughly 80% and 45%, respectively. The softening of ODS powders before the cold spray was conducted using a tube furnace of up to 1200℃. Microstructural characteristics of the cold sprayed layer were investigated by electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD), the uniformity of deformation amount inside powders was observed.

Since the oil price has been significantly jumped for recent some years, the diesel engine of the merchant ship has been mainly used the heavy oil of low quality. Thus, it has been often exposed to severely corrosive environment more and more because temperature of the exhaust gas in a combustion chamber is getting higher and higher with increasing of using the heavy oil of low quality. As a result, wear and corrosion of most parts surrounded with combustion chamber is more serious compared to the other parts of the engine. Therefore, an optimum weldment for these parts is very important to prolong their lifetime in a economical point of view. In this study, four types of filler metals such as Inconel 625, 718, 1.25Cr-0.5Mo and 0.5Mo were welded with SMAW and GTAW methods in the forged steel which would be generally used with piston crown material. And the corrosion properties of weld metal, heat affected zone and base metal were investigated using electrochemical methods such as measurement of corrosion potential, anodic polarization curves, cyclic voltammogram and impedance etc. in 35% H2SO4 solution. The weld metal and base metal exhibited the best and worst corrosion resistance in all cases of filler metals. In particular, the weld metal welded with filler metals of Inconel 718 revealed the best corrosion resistance among the filler metals, and Inconel 625 followed the Inconel 718. Hardness relatively indicated higher value in the weld metal compared to the base metal. Furthermore, Inconel 625 and 718 indicated higher values of hardness compared to 1.25cr-0.5Mo and 0,5Mo filler metals in the weld metal.

석탄화력발전소의 CO2배출량 감소와 고효율, 대용량화로 인해 초초임계압(USC:Ultra Super Critical) 화력발전소의 건설이 증가하고 있다. USC 발전소는 효율향상을 위한 증기온도와 압력의 상승 때문에 보일러 고온고압부에 기존의 소재에 비해 고온강도와 내산화성의 재료물성이 향상된 신소재 적용이 불가피하다. 특히 사용된 신소재 중에서 보일러 본체를 구성하는 수냉벽관(Water wall), 과열기와, 재열기용 튜브 및 후육부인 헤더와 배관재로 기존의 2.25Cr-1Mo강을 개량한 2.25Cr-1.6W계 내열강이 적용되고 있다. 2.25Cr-1.6W강은 SMI와 MHI가 공동개발한 소재로 1995년 튜브제품이, 1999년에 단조, 파이프재, 플레이트제품이 ASME code case로 등재되었고, 2009년 ASME code case 2199-4로 개정되어 사용 중이다. 이 소재는 2.25Cr-1Mo강에 고온강도 개선을 위해 석출강화효과가 있는 V과 Nb을 첨가하였고, 탄화물의 열적안정성과 고용강화효과 증대를 위해 W을 첨가하였다. 그리고 제작성과 용접성 및 재료의 인성 향상을 위해 B첨가와 C함량을 낮추었다. 합금성분의 첨가와 조정에 의해 고온강도는 개선되었지만, 보일러 설치 및 보수를 위한 용접과정에서 용접금속과 CGHAZ(Coarse Grain HAZ)에서 용접균열이 발생하였다. 대부분의 용접균열은 용접결함이나 고온 혹은 저온균열이 아닌 2.25Cr-1.6W계강의 강도 개선을 위해 첨가한 V과 Nb이 용접후열처리 도중 입내에 MX형태의 미세석출로 입내를 강화시킴으로서 발생한 재열균열 민감성 증대에 기인된 것으로 판단된다. 이에 본 연구에서 용접 및 후열처리 과정에서 용접금속과 HAZ에서 발생하는 용접금속의 응력분포를 전산해석을 통해 확인하고 실제 후육파이프 용접부에서 잔류응력을 측정해 비교하였다. 용접부 응력분포는 SYSWELD 프로그램을 사용해 해석을 수행하였고, 발전소 실배관재의 용접부 응력측정은 수평부 측정이 용이하도록 지그를 부착한 Potable 잔류응력측정기를 사용해 Hole Drilling Method(HDM)를 적용하여 잔류응력을 측정하였다. 해석 결과 CGHAZ부위의 잔류응력이 용접금속과 기타 부위에 비해 높은 응력분포를 나타냈으며, 이는 CGHAZ와 용접용융선 부근에서 균열이 발생하는 실제값과 일치하는 결과를 보였다. 실제 배관재 용접부에서 측정한 잔류응력값은 항복응력의 약 50% 이하 응력값을 나타냈다. 배관 구조에 기인한 시스템응력의 영향을 제거하기 위해 배관재 용접부를 중심으로 양끝단을 절단 후 용접부에서 측정한 응력은 항복응력 대비 25%수준의 낮은값을 보였다. 그러나 배관재가 장기간 고온환경에 노출되었고 용접금속 내부의 균열이 발생한 상태에서 측정하였기 때문에 용접잔류응력은 상당부분 해소되어 상대적으로 낮은 응력값이 얻어진 것으로 판단된다.
