This present study were investigated effect of Ni contents on the microstructure and strength characteristic in 9Cr ferritic heat-resistant steel added 1.7%W in place of Mo in order to restrain laves phase formation. The result obtained from this study are as follow. Volume fraction, number of particles per unite area and particle size of carbide decreased with increase of Ni contents. Other side, carbides of $M_{23}C_6$ type was mainly precipitated in this steel, but laves phases could not precipitated in spite of increasing of aging time. With increase of tempering temperature, hardness was increased, and maximum value was showed around 873k by secondary hardening due to precipitation of $W_2C$ type carbide and then, was decreased. Tensile and yield strength due to decrease precipitation amount of carbide and number of particles per unite area was decreased, but elongation and impact value was increased. In case of aged specimen after tempering than tempered specimen, strength was higher and elongation was lower due to increasing of precipitated amount of carbide and number of particles per unite area.

마찰교반접합법은 특정한 회전수로 회전하는 용접 툴을 이용하여 접합하고자 하는 피접합재의 맞댄면에 삽입시킨 후 툴을 이동시키거나 혹은 시편을 견고하게 고정시킨 장치(backing plate)가 움직여 고상 상태에서 접합이 이루어진다. 알루미늄, 마그네슘 등 비교적 융점이 낮은 저융점 재료의 재료에 처음 적용이 되어 많은 연구가 활발히 진행되었고 타 용접방법에 비해 우수한 접합특성을 나타내었다. 최근 이러한 마찰교반접합은 이러한 저융점 재료를 넘어서 스틸, 타이타늄, 니켈 등과 같은 고융점 재료 등에 대한 적용이 늘어나고 있다. 마찰교반접합을 이용하여 이러한 고융점 재료의 접합 경우 내마모성 및 내열성 등의 내구성이 갖추어진 툴과 이러한 툴을 냉각시킬 수 있는 냉각 장치 등이 필요로 하나 경제적 측면이나 접합부의 우수한 특성 등을 고려 할 때 그 적용 및 발전 가능성이 매우 높다고 볼 수 있다. 최근 무공해 연료로 각광받고 있는 액화천연가스 (LNG)의 수요가 급증함에 따라 LNG 저장탱크 소재로 널리 사용되고 있는 9% Ni강의 수요 또한 증가하고 있는 상황이다. 하지만 9% Ni 강은 극저온용 소재로 용접부의 저온인성 ($-196^{\circ}C$)이 가장 중요하기 때문에 저온인성을 확보하고자 Inconel 계나 Hastelloy계 등의 니켈 기 합금을 용접재료로 사용하고 있으나 이러한 용접재료는 가격이 매우 고가이며 또한 용접 후 용접부의 강도가 낮다는 문제가 제기되고 있다. 또한 LNG 탱크 제작시 사용되는 용접법은 GTAW, SAW 및 SMAW 이지만 국내에서는 주로 SMAW에 의존하고 있는 실정인 관계로 보다 더 경제적인 용접 프로세스의 적용 가능성이 검토되고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 마찰교반용접을 이용하여 두께 4mm의 9% Ni 강에 대해 맞대기 마찰교반접합을 실시하였다. 툴 회전 속도 및 접합 속도를 고정한 상태에서 접합을 실시 하였으며 접합 시 툴은 $Si_3N_4$로 제작된 툴을 사용하였다. 접합 후 외관상태 점검, 미세조직 관찰, 경도, 인장 강도 및 저은 충격 측정 등의 실험을 실시하였고, 이러한 결과를 이용하여 미세조직과 기계적 특성과의 관련성을 조사하였다.

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) 박막 태양전지는 높은 효율과 낮은 제조비용, 높은 신뢰성으로 인해 박막 태양전지 중 가장 각광받고 있다. 특히 유리기판 대신 가볍고 유연한 철강소재나 플라스틱 소재를 이용하여 발전분야 외에 건물일체형, 수송용, 휴대용등 다양한 분야에 적용이 가능하다. 이러한 유연 기판을 이용한 CIGS 태양전지의 개발을 위해서는 기판의 특성에 따른 다양한 공정개발이 선행되어야 한다. Stainless steel과 같은 철강기판의 경우 Fe, Ni, Cr등의 불순물이 확산되어 흡수층의 특성을 저하시켜 효율을 감소시킨다. 따라서 이러한 철강 기판의 경우 불순물의 확산을 방지하는 확산방지막이 필수적이다. 이러한 유연기판의 특성을 고려하여 본 연구에서는 기존의 두껍고 추가 장비가 요구되는 SiOx나 Al2O3 대신 200nm 이하의 ZnO 박막을 이용하여 확산방지막을 제조하였다. 유연기판으로 STS 430 stainless steel을 이용하였다. 먼저 stainless steel 기판을 이용하여 기판에 의한 흡수층의 특성을 분석하였으며 ZnO 확산 방지막의 유무 및 두께에 따른 흡수층 및 소자의 특성을 분석하였다. 이때 확산 방지막은 기존 TCO 공정에서 사용되는 i-ZnO를 사용하였으며 RF sputter를 이용하여 50~200nm로 두께를 달리하며 특성 비교를 실시하였다. 효율은 확산방지막을 적용하지 않았을 때 약 5.9%에서 확산 방지막 적용시 약 10.7%로 증가하였다. 그 후 기판으로부터 확산되는 불순물의 유입에 의한 결함을 분석하기 위해 DLTS를 이용하여 소자 특성을 분석하였다. 온도는 80~300K으로 가변하며 측정을 실시하였으며 그 후 계산을 통해 activation energy와 capture cross section 값을 구하였다. DLTS 분석 결과 Ni이 CIGS 흡수층으로 확산되어 NiCu anti-site를 형성하여 태양전지의 효율을 감소시키는 것을 확인하였다. 모든 흡수층은 Co-Evaporation 방법을 이용하여 제조하였으며 제조된 흡수층은 SEM, XRF, XRD, GD-OES, PL, Raman등을 이용하여 분석하였으며 그 외 일반적인 방법을 이용하여 Mo, CdS, TCO, Al grid를 제조하였다. AR 코팅은 제외 하였으며 제조된 소자는 솔라 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 효율 특성 분석을 실시하였으며 Q.E. 분석을 실시하였다.

Stainless steel is widely used in various industries due to its excellent anti-corrosion characteristics. However, if the stainless steel is exposed to high speed fluid flow and chloride ion in the marine environment, corrosion and cavitation damage occurred on the surface easily. Therefore, to prevent these problems, stabilzed stainless steel is applied to offshore and shipbuilding industries. In this study, stabilized stainless steel specimen was made by 19%Cr-9%Ni with different Nb contents (0.29%, 0.46% and 0.71%). And then, their cavitation characteristics were investigated. As a result, the characteristics of cavitation resistance of stainless steel could be improved by increasing Nb contents.

If LNG is leaked from 9% Ni steel inner tank by damage, LNG is retained by outer concrete tank. Then large tensile stress can be caused at cylindrical bottom of outer tank by temperature difference between outer and inner surface of outer tank. Therefore, in order to reduce the tensile stress is caused by temperature difference, corner-protection is installed with insulation and 9% Ni steel as a second barrier. In this paper, using finite element method, structural analysis was performed for rectangular and circular shape of knuckle and based on the results, fatigue life of welds of corner protection was predicted. As a consequence of structural analysis, safety factor of circular knuckle shows 33% bigger than rectangular one shows, and circular knuckle has 25% bigger fatigue life time than rectangle has. These results can be applied to life time assessment and design optimization in the future.

In chemical plating of nickel and chromium on steel, studies on various factors affect-ing the plating operations were carried out. The optimum bath compositions and operat-ing conditions were obtained. The structure and properties of the as deposits or deposits after heat treatment were investigated. (1) The most optimum conditions for the chemical nickel and chromium plating were; 〔Ni2+〕/〔H2PO2-〕; 0.5∼0.8, 〔Cr3+〕/〔H2PO2-〕; 0.6∼0.9 PH;5.0∼5.5, temperature; 90∼95$^{\circ}C$ (2) In the case of nickel deposition, the hardness of deposits increased with increasing phosphorous contents. Heat-treating at the temperature range 200$^{\circ}C$ to 600$^{\circ}C$, the maximum hardness of deposits was obtained at 400$^{\circ}C$ and decreased at temperature above 400$^{\circ}C$ due to growth of Ni3P. (3) Corrosion resistance of chemical nickel deposits was improved with increasing of p-hosphorous contents and heat treating temperature.
