In early constructed nuclear power plants, Ni-based Alloys 82/182 had been widely used for dissimilar metal welds (DMW) as a weld filler metal. However, Alloys 82/182 have been proven to be susceptible to primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) in the nuclear primary water environment. The formation of crack due to PWSCC is also influenced by weld residual stresses. Thus, the accurate estimation of weld residual stresses of DMW is crucial to investigate the possibility of PWSCC and instability behaviors of crack due to PWSCC. In this context, the present paper investigates weld residual stresses of nuclear reactor piping nozzles based on 2-D axi-symmetric finite element analyses based on layer-based approach using maximum molten bead temperature. In particular, the effect of analysis parameters, i.e., a thickness of weld layer, an initial molten bead temperature, convection heat transfer coefficient, and geometric constraints on predicted weld residual stresses was investigated.

Pipe inside clad welding is mainly used to the flow pipe of sub-sea or chemical plant. For the inside clad welding to the medium pipe with the diameter of about 12", TIG welding is frequently applied with filler metal. In this case, the clad welding has the very broad weld area over $10m^2$. And, the non-destructive test (NDT) such as ultrasonic test (UT) or radiographic testing (RT) should be conducted on the broad weld area, and it costs very high due to the time-consuming work. Therefore, the present study investigated the variation of arc voltage to develop the in-line quality monitoring system for the pipe inside TIG cladding. The 4 experimental parameters (current, arc length, wire feed position, and shield gas flow rate) varied to observe the change of arc voltage and to establish the model for the monitoring. The arc voltage was decreased when the wire was fed to the backward eccentric position(over 2mm), and the shield gas flow rate was insufficient under 10L/min. In the case of the backward eccentric position over 2mm, the bead appearance was not good and the dilution ratio was increased due to deep penetration. When the shield gas flow rate was lower than 10L/min, the bead surface was oxidized.

열가소성 차선도료는 세계적으로 가장 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 차선도료이다. 그러나 국내 적용되고 있는 차선도료는 내구성이 1년 밖에 되지 않아 선진외국에 비해 수명(3년 이상)이 상대적으로 짧다. 이를 개선하고자 기존에 사용되고 있는 석유계 수지에 polyolefin 수지를 추가로 첨가하고, LDPE 왁스를 기능성이 부여된 산화 PE 왁스의 대체 사용으로 기존의 열가소성 차선도료의 단점을 보완하였다. 차선도료의 용융점도는 $220^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 분사 도장방식의 최적 점도인 500 cP 이하가 되게 설계하였고, 도료를 도포한 후 반사유리알을 살포하는 시간간격을 1 s로 하여 함침비를 50~60%로 조절하였다. 또한 filler 중 $CaCO_3$의 첨가량을 40 wt% 이하로 하여 유리알 고착비를 향상시켰다. 열가소성 차선도료의 내마모성 평가를 위하여 4가지 조건에서의 재귀 반사성능을 측정하였다. 교통사고 발생 최소화와 운전자의 노령화 등으로 운전자 주행 중 최소 야간재귀 반사성능계수는 $150mcd{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}lux^{-1}$ 이상을 만족하여야 하며, 마모횟수 증가에 따른 야간재귀 반사성능 저하가 가장 적은 TPRM-7를 열가소성 차선도료의 최적 배합비율로 결정하였다.
