A Chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC) of austenite stainless steel in dry cask storage system (DCSS) can occur with extending service time than originally designed. Cold spray coating (CSC) not only form a very dense microstructure that can protect from corrosive environments, but also can generate compressive stress on the surface. This characteristic of CSC process is very helpful to increase the resistance for CISCC. CSC with several powders, such as 304L, 316L and Ni can be optimized to form very dense coating layer. In addition, the impact energy generated as the CSC powder collides with the surface of base metal at a speed of Mach 2 or more can remove the residual tensile stress of welding area and serve the compress stress. CSC layers include no oxidation and no contamination with under 0.2% porosity, which is enough to protect from the penetration of corrosive chloride. Therefore, the CSC coating layer can be accompanied by a function that can be disconnected from the corrosive environment and an effect of improving the residual stress that causes CISCC, so the canister's CISCC resistance can be increased.

In the present study, the third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT) is presented to investigate time-dependent thermo-elastic creep behavior and life assessment of rotating thick cylindrical shells with variable thickness made of 304L austenitic stainless steel (304L SS). The cylindrical shells are subjected to non-uniform internal pressure, distributed temperature field, and a centrifugal body force due to rotating speed. Norton's law is used to describe the material creep constitutive model. A system of differential equations in terms of displacement and boundary conditions is derived by employing the minimum total potential energy principle based on TSDT. Then, the resulting equations are solved as semi-analytically using the multilayered method (MLM), which leads to an accurate solution. Subsequently, an iterative procedure is also proposed to investigate the stresses and deformations at different creep times. Larson-Miller Parameter (LMP) and Robinson's linear life fraction damage rule are employed to estimate the creep damages and the remaining life of cylindrical shells. In this research, the creep model uses Norton's law, LMP, and Robinson's approach which is the most accurate and reasonable model. To the best of the researcher's knowledge, in the previous studies, there is no study carried out on third-order shear deformation theory for thermo-elastic creep analysis and life assessment of thick cylinders with variable thickness. The results obtained from the multilayered approach are compared and validated with those determined from the finite element method (FEM) to confirm the accuracy of the suggested method based on TSDT and very good agreement is found. The results indicate that the present analysis is accurate and computationally efficient.

Conventional plasma carburizing or nitriding for austenitic stainless steels results in a degradation of corrosion resistance. However, a low temperature plasma surface treatment can improve surface hardness without deteriorating the corrosion resistance. The 2-step low temperature plasma processes (the combined carburizing and post nitriding) offers the increase of both surface hardness and thickness of hardened layer and corrosion resistance than the individually processed low temperature nitriding and low temperature carburizing techniques. In the present paper, attempts have been made to investigate the influence of the introduction of Ar gas (0~20%) in nitriding atmosphere during low temperature plasma nitriding at $370^{\circ}C$ after low temperature plasma carburizing at $470^{\circ}C$. All treated specimens exhibited the increase of the surface hardness with increasing Ar level in the atmosphere and the surface hardness value reached up to 1050 HV0.1, greater than 750 $HV_{0.1}$ in the carburized state. The expanded austenite phase (${\gamma}_N$) was observed on the most of the treated surfaces. The thickness of the ${\gamma}_N$ layer reached about $7{\mu}m$ for the specimen treated in the nitriding atmosphere containing 20% Ar. In case of 10% Ar containing atmosphere, the corrosion resistance was significantly enhanced than untreated austenitic stainless steels, whilst 20% Ar level in the atmosphere caused to form CrN in the N-enriched layer (${\gamma}_N$), which led to the degradation of corrosion resistance compared with untreated austenitic stainless steels.

태양전지에 소모되는 비용중의 30% 이상이 silicon 기판의 가공 및 silicon자체의 비용이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 비운을 절감하기 위해 silicon기판대신 STS 304를 사용하고자 한다. STS 304를 태양전지용 기판으로 사용하기 위해서는 고도천 연마된 표면을 필수조건으로 하기 때문에 STS 304에 전해연마를 실시하여 AFM으로 표면의 거칠기를 살펴보았다 또 한, 표면 조도의 향상을 위해 최적의 연마조건에서 leveller를 첨가하였다. 인산($H_3PO_4$)을 기본으로 한 전해연마액에 2A의 전류와 극간거리 0.7cm의 조건하에서 STS 304의 최적 전해연마조건을 찾기 위해 전해액의 온도는 $80^{\circ}C{\sim}120^{\circ}C$, 연마시간은 3~2분간 전해연마를 실시하였다. 그 결과 2A/$cm^2$, $80^{\circ}C$, 10분에서 27.9nm의 표면조도를 보였으며, leveller로 사용된 glycerine, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol의 영향을 연구하였다. Leveller 중에서는 ethylene glycol을 0.4g/l 첨가하였을 때 표면조도가 약 15nm로서 그 효과가 가장 좋았다.

The applications by using fiber laser have increased recently. However, due to high beam quality of fiber laser, it is inappropriate to apply the existing laser welding monitoring technology to the fiber laser welding as it is. On this study, thus, we analyzed emission signal with RMS and FFT for the in-process monitoring during fiber laser welding. 12mm-thick 304L stainless steel sheet was used in fiber laser welding and the result showed as follows: The intensity changes in RMS did not clarify the distinction between full penetration and partial penetration. However, as welding speed increases, specific frequency also increases in regards of frequency analysis by using FFT.

To combine the mechanical advantages of ceramics with those of metals, one often uses both materials within one composite component. But, as known, they have different material properties and fracture behaviors. In this study, a four-point bending test is carried out on $Si_3N_4$ joined to ANSI 304L stainless steel with a Ti-Ag-Cu filler and a Cu interlayer at room temperature to evaluate their longitudinal strain behaviors. And, to detect localized strain, a couple of strain gages are pasted near the joint interfaces of the ceramic and metal sides. The normal strain rates are varied from $3.33{\times}10^5$ to $3.33{\times}10^{-1}s^{-1}$ Within this range, the experimental results showed that the four-point bending strength and the deflection of the interlayer increased with increasing the strain rate.

The control of the weld bead shape is important in laser welding of the small parts. The effects of laser welding parameters on the weld bead shape in the pulsed Nd:YAG laser welding of STS 304L material were investigated. Shielding gas type, flow rate, pumping voltage, pulse frequency, pulse width, focal position and overlap distance were selected as laser welding parameters. Experiments were designed and conducted using the Taguchi method which was a statistical experimental method. The weld bead width, penetration, area and aspect ratio were measured and analysed as the weld bead shape properties and the welding parameters were optimized to maximize the weld aspect ratio. Weld aspect ratio were greatly affected by the pulse width, pumping voltage and pulse frequency, and somewhat by the overlap distance, and little by the shielding gas type, flow rate and focal position. A confirmation experiment were conducted using the optimized welding parameters.

Direct laser melting(DLM) is promising as a joining method for producing parts for automobiles, aerospace, marine and medical applications. An advantageous characteristic of DLM is that it affects the parent metal very little. The mechanical properties of parts made by DLM are strongly affected by the porosity and surface roughness of the laser melted beads. This is a systematic study of the effects of the porosity and surface roughness of laser melted beads using various processing parameters, such as laser power, scan rate and overlapping ratio of the fill spacing. The specimens were fabricated with 316L and 304L austenitic stainless steel powder. Dense parts with low porosity were obtained at low laser scan speed, as it increased the aspect ratio of the parental material and the depth of penetration. The variations of surface roughness were examined at various processing parameters such as overlapping ratio and laser power.

오스테나이트 스테인리스강 304L을 고질소 저압 분위기에서 400~$600^{\circ}C$ 범위내의 온도변수 $50^{\circ}$간격차이에 따라 펄스 직류 플라즈마를 발생시켜 펄스작용 시간비에 따라 5시간씩 질화처리를 실시하였다. 처리온도 $500^{\circ}C$를 전후하여 질화처리층의 상과 조직이 현저히 다르게 형성되었다. $500^{\circ}C$미만 범위에서 저온일수록 펄스작용 시간비가 높을 때 질화층은 일종의 비화학량론적인 질화 스테인리스강으로 형성되었고 박피막을 이루며 균열이 많이 발생했다. 처리온도가 $500^{\circ}C$보다 높을 때는 온도가 높아지거나 펄스작용 시간비가 50s/100s로 높아짐에 따라 질화층은 CrN 및 Fe4N 위주로 구성되어 주상정 조직을 이루며 균일하게 성장하며 무균열층이 된다. $500^{\circ}C$에서는 저온 조직 및 상과 고온 조직 및 상이 혼합된 질화층이 형성되며 취성이 대단히 크다.

As well-known wrought stainless steel, sintered stainless steel (STS) has excellent high-temperature anti-corrosion even at high temperature of $800^{\circ}C$, and exhibits good corrosion resistance in air. However, when temperature increases above $900^{\circ}C$, the corrosion resistance of STS begins to deteriorate and dramatically decreases. In this study, the effects of phase and composition of STS on high-temperature corrosion resistances are investigated for STS 316L, STS 304 and STS 434L above $800^{\circ}C$. The morphology of the oxide layers are observed. The oxides phase and composition are identified using X-ray diffractometer and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the best corrosion resistance of STS could be improved to that of 434L. The poor corrosion resistance of the austenitic stainless steels is due to the fact that $NiFe_2O_4$ oxides forming poor adhesion between the matrix and oxide film increase the oxidation susceptibility of the material at high temperature.
