An investigation has been made on the relationship between characteristics of Acoustic Emission (AE) signal in welding flaw and the stress corrosion defect in-service for the high pressure pipe steel. In order to tackle the problem of welding flaw in high pressure pipe, specimens were made by the aid of the application of both corrosion liquid usage and a quenching method after local heating. The amplitude of signal was $60{\sim}75\;dB$ in the territory which is suspected for defect, and the specimens which only have welding flaw showed gradients of 0.034, 0.034, 0.035. Moreover, there is a certain increase in gradient even though the differences are very slight. That is, corrosion specimens showed new gradients of 0.040, 0.039, 0.041 which put welding flaw and corrosion mechanism together. After pressurizing 3 minutes, AE signal has been detected from welding flaw easily in each part of the section. It is possible to predict the occurrence and also prevent the damage of stress corrosion crack which has characteristics of cleavage fracture.

The purpose of this study is to develop failure pressure evaluation models, which are applicable to straight pipes and elbows containing an internally wall thinning defect induced by flow-accelerated-corrosion (FAC). In this study, thus, three dimensional finite element (FE) analyses are performed to investigate the dependences of failure pressure of internally wall thinned pipe on the defect shape, the pipe geometry, and the defect location and bend radius of elbow. Also, the existing failure pressure assessment models for externally wall thinned pipes are examined. Based on these, the new models for assessing failure pressure of piping components with an internally wall thinning defect are proposed. Comparison of failure pressure, predicted by proposed models, with FE analysis result shows good agreement regardless of pipe type, defect shape, and defect location and bend radius.

Al-Cu alloy has been used as a circuit material for its low resistance and ease to process for long years at CMOS technology. However, basically metal is very susceptible to corrosion and which has been a long pending trouble in various fields using metal. The defect causes the reliability concerns, so improved methods are necessary to reduce the defect. In the various corrosion parameters, PR strip process conditions after metal etch and optimal cleaning solutions are controllable and increase the process margin to prevent the metal corrosion. This study proposes that chlorine residue after metal etch as the source of metal corrosion, and charges should be removed by optimizing PR strip process condition and cleaning condition.

One of the useful technology for light-weightening of components required in the automobile and machine industry is to use of high strength materials. To improve material properties, carbonizing treatment, nitrifying treatment, and shot-peening method are representatively applied, However, the shot-peening method is generally used to remove the surface defect of steel and to improve the fatigue strength on surface. Benefits by shot peening are to make increase resistance against fatigue, stress corrosion cracking, fretting, galling, erosion and closing of pores. In this paper, investigated the effect of shot peening on the corrosion of SUP-9 steel immersed in $3.5\%$ NaCl solution and corrosion characteristics by the heat treatment during shot peening process. The immersion test was performed on the four kinds of specimens. Corrosion potential, polarization curve, residual stress and etc. were investigated from the experimental results.

This paper presents the effect of shape of external corrosion in pipeline on failure prediction by using numerical simulation. The numerical study for the pipeline failure analysis is based on the FEM(Finite Element Method) with an elastic-plastic and large-deformation analysis. The predicted failure stress assessed for the simulated corrosion defects having different corroded shapes along the pipeline axis are compared with those by methods specified in ANSl/ASME B31G code and a modified B31G code.

ACSR of the catenary wires is corrosion degradation progressed by the effect of atmospheric pollution. ACSR which consists of galvanized steel stranded aluminum. The inside of Steel Reinforced is hot-dipped zinc coating steel wire and it takes charge of tension. If ACSR is exposed in atmosphere, the galvanic corrosion is occurred because it is contacted with aluminum. It is occurred the chemical reaction rapidly so that the local a defect is also occurred. If the catenary wires are exposed in atmosphere of pollution conditions, it may cause to reduce the mechanical strength by corrosion degradation and may cause to damage the wires by micro cracks. Accordingly, this study presents the effects of mechanical properties through the corrosion of ACSR.

Rail cars are subject to vibration, impact and wear which can cause severe defects leading to a fatal accident. Thus, they are designed and manufactured in consideration of such factors influencing their service lifetime. Under-frames are composed of steel and support most of load imposed on the car. Steel is very sensitive to corrosive environment and corroded even in a normal service condition. Regular maintenance can Protect steel Parts from corrosion by painting. However, an exposure of defect point to corrosive agents can make corrosion proceed to a considerable depth, which may cause the structure to remain under safety standard. It is necessary to understand corrosion behavior of rail cars in order to estimate unexpected accidents by corrosion.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of local wall thinning on the collapse of elbow subjected to internal pressure and bending moment. Thus, the nonlinear 3D finite element analyses were performed to obtained collapse moment of elbow containing various wall thinning defects under two loading; modes (closing and opening modes) and defect locations (intrados and extrados). From the results of analyses, the influence of wall thinning defect on the global moment-rotation behavior of elbow was discussed, and the dependance of collapse moment of elbow on wall thinning depth, length, and circumferential angle was investigated under different loading mode and defect location.
