Extensive investigations on cast to cast variations observed in steels have underlined the role of thermocapillary or surface tension driven fluid flow in welding operations. The behavior of weld pool under the electric arc is however affected by possible arc modifications linked to microchemistry variations in materials & this limits to some extent the real contribution from surface tension effects. Thus, electron beam welding with high vacuum was used to investigate thermo-capillary effects on thin austenitic stainless steels & nickel based alloys. The weld pool was monitored by video observations to estimate the importance of fluid flow during the melting & solidification phase. The results underline the importance of fluid flow on [mal solidification.

Austenitic stainless steels(SUS 304, SUS 316), which are used for safety control valve of LNG carrier, are occasionally exposed in the cryogenic environment. In this regards, it is required to evaluate the mechanical characteristics under the low temperature environment. In this study, a series of uniaxial tensile test was carried out varying temperature for austenitic stainless steel. The phenomena of the strain-induced plasticity have been observed on the all temperature ranges. The critical value for threshold of 2nd hardening due to the phase transformation induced plasticity as well as the increase of hardening have been reported. The summarized experimental results would be used for the validation of numerical techniques applicable for the nonlinear hardening behavior of austenitic stainless steel under the cryogenic temperature environment.

초저온 구조 재료로 극저온에서 기계적 특성이 우수한 300계열의 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강이 널리 사용되어진다. 이 중에서도 오스테나이트의 안전성 향상을 위해 몰리브덴을 첨가한 316강이나 용접 중에 입계 석출을 줄이기 위해 탄소의 함유율을 감소시킨 316L강, 그리고 질소를 첨가시켜 강도와 오스테나이트를 동시에 향상시킨 316LN강이 대표적으로 많이 사용된다. 하지만 초저온 재료들의 용접조건 및 온도변화에 대한 기계적 특성 연구가 미진한 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 초저온 구조물에서 많이 사용되어지는 304강의 용접조건 및 온도변화에 대한 기계적 특성을 연구하였다.

The cavitation and potentiodynamic polarization experiments were conducted simultaneously to investigate the effect of cavitation amplitude on the super austenitic stainless steel (UNS N08367) electrochemical behavior in seawater. The results of the potentiodynamic polarization experiment under cavitation condition showed that the corrosion current density increased with cavitation amplitude increase. Above oxygen evolution potential, the current density in a static condition was the largest because the anodic dissolution reaction by intergranular corrosion was promoted. In the static condition, intergranular corrosion was mainly observed. However, damage caused by erosion was observed in the cavitation environment. The micro-jet generated by cavity collapse destroyed the corrosion product and promoted the repassivation. So, weight loss occurred the most in static conditions. After the experiment, wave patterns were formed on the surface due to the compressive residual stress caused by the impact pressure of the cavity. Surface hardness was improved by the water cavitation peening effect, and the hardness value was the highest at 30 ㎛ amplitude. UNS N08367 with excellent mechanical performance due to its high hardness showed that cavitation inhibited corrosion damage.

Duplex stainless steels have the dual microstructure of austenite and ferrite phases. This steel exhibits generally a high corrosion resistance and higher mechanical strength compared with austenitic stainless steels. The steels used in the investigation have the chemical composition of Fe-22Cr-xNi-yMn-0.2N in which the contents of Ni and Mn were varied with maintaining the equal [Ni/Cr] equivalent. The fraction of ferrite phase was increased with the increase of annealing temperature. The impact factor of Mn element on the [Ni] equivalent was amended on the basis of the results of the investigation. 4Mn-2Ni alloy showed the highest pitting corrosion resistance. The fraction ratio, grain size and misorientation angle between grains were measured, and the correlation with pitting potential was investigated.

Laser welding was carried out on austenitic 304 (STS 304) and 22 APU stainless steels. In this case, the differences between the corrosion characteristics of the welding zones of the two stainless steels were investigated using electrochemical methods. The Vickers hardness values of the weld metal (WM) zones in both cases, the STS 304 and 22 APU stainless steels, showed relatively higher values than those of other welding zones. The corrosion current densities of the heat affected zone (HAZ) of the 22 APU and the base metal (BM) zone of the STS 304 exhibited the highest values compared to the other welding zones. It is generally accepted that when STS 304 stainless steel is welded using a general welding method, intergranular corrosion is often observed at the grain boundary because of its chromium depletion area. However, when laser welding was performed on both the STS 304 and 22 APU stainless steels, no intergranular corrosion was observed at any of the welding zones. Consequently, it is considered that the intergranular corrosion of stainless steel can be controlled with the application of laser welding.

AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel is widely used for LNG pipes for LNG transmission thanks to its good metallurgical and mechanical properties. In the present research, impact toughness of a gas tungsten arc welded AISI 304 stainless steel pipe was evaluated between room and liquid nitrogen ($-196^{\circ}C$) test temperatures. In addition, a comparative study was made of the fracture behavior of FCC crystal structured stainless steel weldments and BCC crystal structured mild steels(A-grade and SS400). The results showed a slight decrease in the impact energy of the AISI 304 base metal, heat affected zone(HAZ), and welded zone with decreasing test temperature. In addition, the welded metal has the highest absorbed impact energy, followed by HAZ and the base metal.
