In this study, we derived work-hardening exponent using continuous indentation test technique. Continuous indentation test technique is a powerful method to evaluate mechanical properties, such as hardness, modulus, ${\sigma}-{\varepsilon}$ curves and etc. It has many merits conventional indentation test has. The relationship between true stress and mean contact pressure and between strain and indentation depth were derived. While the indenter pushes the materials, the region around the indenter is deflected elastically. It is called elastic deflection. And pile-up phenomenon related to plastic deformation around the indenter increased the contact depth, and sink-in phenomenon decreases. So we calibrated contact depth change by considering elastic deflection and pile-up/sink-in. Using calibrated contact depth we redefined the relationship between true stress and mean contact pressure and between strain and contact depth. Through these relationship we could derive work-hardening exponent by analyzing load-depth curves. And it showed good agreement with tensile test results.

In this study we tried to determine the work-hardening exponent using continuous indentation test. Work-hardening exponent, which was determined by Hollomon equation, in tensile test, is an important parameter to determine plastic deformation and brittle/ductile property of materials. For using Hollomon equation, true stress and true strain were defined by indentation depth and indentation load. Using them the new equation, which is constituted by indentation depth, indentation load and work-hardening exponent, was induced. Indentation depth was calibrated because of elastic deflection and pile-up/sink-in phenomena. Work-hardening exponents of various steels derived by it showed good agreement to the results of tensile tests. In addition to experiments, FEM simulation was accomplished to investigate changes of real contact depth with materials properties changes. Through this simulation it is concluded that the real contact depth is changed by Y/E value which affect the early stage of indentation, and work-hardening exponent which the latter stage.

Continuous indentation test is a very powerful method to monitor the materials reliability since it is very simple, easy and almost non-destructive. It can provide material properties such as elastic modulus, yield strength, work-hardening exponent, etc., than the conventional hardness test. In our study, the true stress-strain curve is derived from the indentation load-depth curve. For this, average indentation strain is defined and the flow stress is obtained from the analysis of the indentation stress field. The residual stress is analyzed from the variation of the indentation behavior with the applied residual stress. And the estimation of fracture characteristic is tried by considering the conventional fracture toughness modeling and the stress/strain state under the spherical indenter.

The tensile properties of materials can be obtained just in accordance with conventional tensile testing methods which are described in several standards. However, the standard testing methods cannot be applicable due to the destructive testing procedure and specimen size requirement for some cases including on-service facility materials. Therefore, simple, non-destructive and advanced indentation technique was proposed. This test measures indentation load-depth curve during indentation and analyzes the mechanical properties related to deformation and fracture. In this paper, the research trend of non-destructive evaluation of tensile properties using advanced indentation system and its application fields are reviewed and discussed.

Indentation and small punch tests are very powerful methods to monitor the materials reliability since they are very simple, easy and almost non-destructive. First, recently-developed continuous indentation test can provide the more material properties such as hardness, elastic modulus, yield strength, work-hardening exponent, etc., than the conventional hardness test. In our study, the true stress-strain curve was derived from the indentation load-depth curve for spherical indentation. In detail, the strain was able to be obtained from plastic depth/contact radius ratio, and the flow stress was from mean contact pressure through the analysis of elastic-plastic indentation stress field. Secondly, the small punch test was studied to evaluate the fracture toughness and defomation properties such as elastic modulus and yield strength. Like the indentation test, this test can be applied without severe damage of the target structure.

Newly developed continuous indentation technique has made nondestructive assessment of tensile properties possible. The present study was undertaken to determine new parameters for indicating time-dependent material degradation of petro-chemical plant. Continuous indentation tests were performed for Cr-Ni steel and Cr-Mo steel which are widely used as facilities of petro-chemical plant. From the results, it was found that yield strength and tensile strength cannot be used as general degradation parameters because the changes in the strengths with aging time didn't show any tendency. On the other hand, work hardening exponent and yield ratio showed consistent tendency with increasing aging time. Therefore, nam attention of this work was paid on them as new degradation parameters, and the in-field applicability of the parameters was evaluated and discussed.

This study was designed to investigate the mechanical properties of the coating layer on electronic galvanized sheet steel as a part of the ongoing research on the coated steel. Those properties were determined using nano-indentation, the finite element method, and artificial neural networks. First and foremost, the load-displacement curve (the loading-unloading curve) of coatings was derived from a nano-indentation test by CSM (continuous stiffness measurement) and was used to measure the elastic modulus and hardness of the coating layer. The properties derived were applied in FE simulations of a nano-indentation test, and the analytical results were compared with the experimental result. A numerical model for FE simulations was established for the coating layer and the substrate separately. Finally, to determine the mechanical properties of the coating, such as the stress-strain curve, functional equations of loading and unloading curves were introduced and computed using the neural networks method. The results show errors within $5\%$ in comparison with the load-displacement measured by a nano-indentation test.

발전설비에서 용접 구조물의 신뢰성은 매우 중요하며, 구조물 신뢰성평가를 위해서는 재료물성의 정확한 평가에 근거되어야 한다. 발전설비의 건설중 용접부의 물성평가는 실제 용접부에서의 파괴시험이 어려우므로 현장 용접부와 유사하게 용접, 시험한 결과인 PQR(Procedure Qualification Record)에 의해서만 보증을 하고 있다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 현장 용접부에 대하여 비파괴적으로 기계물성 측정이 가능한 연속압입시험법을 적용하였다. 연속압입시험법은 압입시 압입하중-깊이를 측정하여 항복강도, 인장강도 그리고 가공경화지수와 같은 기계적 특성들의 분석이 가능한 시험법으로, 화력 발전소 건설 및 운전중 주증기관과 재열증기관의 기계인장물성을 평가하기 위하여 적용하였다.

In this paper, the transient thermal and residual stress analysis of the welding of 9% Ni steel plates using the FEA software ABAQUS are presented. The 9% Ni steel plates are welded manually with welding consumables of 70% Ni based Inconel type super-alloys (YAWATA WELD B (M)), producing a multi-pass/multi-layer butt weld. For these materials, temperature dependant mechanical and thermal material properties are used in the analysis. The back gouging is considered in welding process simulation. The FE thermal results are validated by comparing the real fusion profile and heat affected zone (HAZ). In addition, the continuous indentation test was conducted to measure the strength of base metal, HAZ and weld metal.

This study investigates changes in the mechanical behaviors, especially hardness and indentation load-displacement curves, of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) brought about by thermal shock. The TBCs on the Nickel-based bondcoat/superalloy was prepared with diameters of 25.4 mm and $600{\mu}m$ thickness. The results of thermal shock cycling test from $1100^{\circ}C$ of the highest temperature indicate that the thermal shock do not influence on the mechanical behavior, but a continuous decrease in porosity and increase in hardness were observed after 1200 thermal shock cycles; these changes are believed to be due to sintering of thermal barrier coating materials. The results that no degradation in the indentation load-displacement curves indicate that the coating shows good thermal shock resistance up to 1200 cycles at $1100^{\circ}C$ in air.
