Placing lift is applied to place mass concrete in order to reduce thermal cracks by hydration heat. But they results in cold joint between placing lifts, which bring about the loss of strength, water tightness and undesirable appearance. Therefore, in this paper, mechanical and hydration heat of mass concrete using super retarding agent developed through previous study are investigated in order to reduce the hydration heat and place it without place lift. According to test results, placing lifts combined with normal concrete and concrete containing super retarding agent have positive effects on reducing hydration heat. Especially, the crack index by thermal stress of the concrete containing super retarding agent less than a quarter, compared to that of plain concrete without placing lifts, and less than a half, compared to that of plain concrete with placing lifts.

The effects of thermomechanical treatments on microstructure and fatigue properties of 7050 Al alloy were investigated. The precipitation kinetics changed to a faster rate due to cold deformation employed in this special TAHA thermomechanical treatments including pre-aging, plastic deformation and two step final-aging. The G.P. zones in the under-aged condition were cut by dislocations and dissolved during the plastic deformation. During the low cycle fatigue, the T6' condition showed cyclic hardening behavior whereas the TMT5, TMT27 and T76 conditions showed cyclic softening at above 0.7% total strain amplitudes. The ${\Delta}K_{th}$ value of TMT27 was improved more than two times, compared with that of T76 condition. The T6' with small shearable precipitates resulted in the markedly high ${\Delta}K_{th}$ value. This is thought to be resulted from dislocation reversibility and roughness-induced crack closure due to planarity of slip.

Many concrete pavements closed to the end of service life in out country need to repair. We investigated material and mix designs for thin bonded concrete overlay and applied it to concrete pavement rehabilitation. The concrete with Type III cement showed earlier strength and better durability than the concrete with Type I cement. Designed concrete mixture with TypeIII cement made it possible to open the road earlier against heavy vehicles, increased traffic despite of cold weather in winter. In the field examination after four month, there was no defects like as shrinkage crack, spalling, surface abrasion and scaling, and good traffic condition has been maintained.

The mechanical and phase transformation of the cold isostatically pressed $\beta$-SiC ceramic were investigated as a function of the sintering temperature. The result of phase analysis revealed 6H, 4H, 3C and phase transformation between 3C and 4H showed over 2000$^{\circ}C$ and the $\beta$ ${\rightarrow}$ $\alpha$ phase transformation was in saturation at 2200$^{\circ}C$. The relative density and the mechanical properties of $\alpha$-SiC ceramic was increased with increased sintering temperature. The flexural strength showed the highest value of 230 MPa at 2200$^{\circ}C$. This reason is because crack was propagated through surface flaw. The fracture toughness showed the highest value of 4.2 $MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ at 2200$^{\circ}C$.

Recently, the customer's demands for automotive steel sheet have been diversified and sterned more. Therefore, as the tendency of auto industry light-weight, one among these requirements is the trend for high strength together with the thinness of automotive steel sheet. Because Mn added essentially in producing high strength steel sheet is bonded strongly with oxygen, the Fine oxidation layer was created at the welding face after the flash butt welding operated in entry section of pickling line. Thereby it was caused the crack or breakage of welding part in process of cold rolling. At this research, in order to protect the contact Mn with oxygen in atomosphere it was considered to fire oxygen with LNG and the related researches have been gone forward with the find out concrete and to apply them to operation.

Carbonation is a deterioration which degrades structural and material performance by permitting CO₂ and corrosion of embedded steel. Service life evaluation through deterministic method is conventional, however the researches with probabilistic approach on service life considering loading and cold joint effect on carbonation have been performed very limitedly. In this study, probabilistic service life evaluation was carried out through MCS (Monte Carlo Simulation) which adopted random variables such as cover depth, CO₂ diffusion coefficient, exterior CO₂ concentration, and internal carbonatable materials. Probabilistic service life was derived by changing mean value and COV (Coefficient of variation) from 100 % to 300 % and 0.1 ~ 0.2, respectively. From the analysis, maximum reduction ratio (47.7%) and minimum reduction ratio (11.4%) of service life were obtained in cover depth and diffusion coefficient, respectively. In the loading conditions of 30~60% for compressive and tensile stress, GGBFS concrete was effective to reduce cold joint effect on carbonation. In the tensile condition, service life decreased linearly regardless of material types. Additionally service life rapidly decreased due to micro crack propagation in the all cases when 60% loading was considered in compressive condition.

과거 고강도강 용접부에서 발생하는 저온균열은 주로 용접열영향부에서 발생하였는데, 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 강재 메이커들은 고강도강의 용접성을 향상시키고자 노력하였다. 이러한 노력의 결과로 TMCP, HSLA 강 등이 개발되었고 이들 강재는 예열온도를 저하시킬 수 있다는 장점 때문에 보편화되어 사용되었다. 이러한 강재는 모재 예열온도를 기준으로 적용하게 되면 용착금속에서 저온균열이 발생하는 경우가 있다. 따라서 이제는 용접재료의 용접성, 즉 용접재료의 저온균열 저항성을 평가 할 수 있는 기법이 요구된다. 본 연구의 목적은 용착금속의 저온균열 저항성을 평가하는 것인데, 저온균열 저항성은 용착금속의 미세조직에 따라 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 용착금속의 합금조성은 기본적으로 용착금속에 요구되는 최저 강도와 충격인성을 만족할 수 있도록 설계한다. 하지만 유사한 강도의 유사한 합금조성이더라도 일부 합금 성분에 의해 용착금속의 미세조직들은 상이하게 나타날 수 있는데, 미세조직 특성에 의하여 용착금속의 강도와 저온인성이 결정된다. 용착금속의 저온균열 저항성을 평가하기위하여 Gapped Bead-on-Groove(G-BOG) 시험에 사용된 모재는 50mm 두께의 mild steel을 사용하였으며, 모재의 희석을 방지하기위해 15mm 깊이로 V-groove 가공 후 buttering 용접 하였다. 용접된 시편은 다시 5mm 깊이로 V-groove로 2차 가공 후 Ar + 20% $Co_2$ gas를 사용하여 용접하였다. 용접재료는 ER-100S-G grade로 비슷한 합금조성을 갖는 2 종류를 사용하였다. A용접재료는 Ti 이 0.1% 함유 되었으며, B용접재료는 Ti 함유되지 않은 것을 사용하였다. 또한 예열 온도에 따라 저온균열 감수성을 평가하기위하여 모재의 예열온도를 각각 상온, $50^{\circ}C,\;75^{\circ}C,\;100^{\circ}C$로 하여 실험을 진행하였다. 용착금속의 미세조직을 확인해본 결과 Ti 함유된 A 용착금속 미세조직은 대부분 침상형페라이트로 나타났으며, Ti 함유되지 않은 B 용착금속 미세조직은 대부분 베이나이트로 나타났다. G-BOG 시험 결과 Ti 함유된 A 시편이 Ti 함유되지 않은 B 시편보다 저온균열 발생량이 적었다. 이는 용착금속의 미세조직분포 및 특성에 따라 저온균열감수성이 다르다는 것을 나타낸다.

During the fabrication process of reactor vessel head penetration (RVHP), the grain size of the tube material can be changed by hot or cold work and the inner side of the tube can also be shrunk due to welding outside of the tube. Several nonregular time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) signals were found because of deformed grains. In this paper, an investigation of nonregular TOFD indications acquired from RVHP tubes using experiments and computer simulation was performed in order to identify and distinguish TOFD signals by coarse grains from those by Primary Water Stress Corrosion Crack (PWSCC). For proper understanding of the nonregular TOFD indications, microstructural analysis of the RVHP tubes and prediction of signals scattered from the grains using Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation were performed. Prediction of ultrasonic signals from the various sizes of side drilled holes to find equivalent flaws, determination of the size of the nonregular TOFD indications from the coarse grains, and experimental investigation of TOFD signals from coarse grain and shrinkage geometry to identify PWSCC signals were performed. From the computer simulation and experimental investigation results, it was possible to obtain the nonregular TOFD indications from the coarse grains in the alloy 690 penetration tube of RVHP; these nonregular indications may be classified as PWSCC. By comparing the computer simulation and experimental results, we were able to confirm a clear difference between the coarse grain signal and the PWSCC signal.

The 7175Al alloy is particularly interesting for its high strength and sufficient ductility, fracture toughness and corrosion resistance. Currently vigorous efforts have been made to develop large rockets usable for various purposes in the space. This has created the demand of big size of 7175Al billet which would be applied to heavy forgings. The aim of this study is to investigate the quality level of big billet and the effect of billet size on the mechanical properties of large 7175Al ring roll forgings. The billets range from 370 mm to 720 mm in diameter were homogenized and forged after direct chill casting. The size and volume fraction of second phase particles In ${\Phi}720$ mm billet are larger than those of ${\Phi}370$ mm billet, and its ductility is lower for the condition of homogenization and T6 treatment. The Cu-rich phases formed in interdendritic sites are considered to provide the preferential crack path during cold upsetting. The fracture toughness of ring roll forgings which are made by ${\Phi}370$ mm billet is higher than those of ${\Phi}720$ mm billet.

In this study, nanocrystalline nickel powders were cold compacted by a dynamic compaction method using a single-stage gas gun system. A bending test was conducted to measure the bonding strengths of the compacted regions and microstructures of the specimen were analyzed using a scanning electron microscopy. The specimen was separated into two parts by a horizontal crack after compaction. Density test shows that the powder compaction occurred only in the upper part of the specimen. Brittle fracture was occurred during the bending test of the compact sample. Dispersion of shock energy due to spalling highly affected the bonding status of the nanocrystalline nickel powder.
