This report was prepared to give informations on a proper way to develop new consumables for the steels with improved weldability. Traditionally, hydrogen control has been pursued mainly for suppressing the HICC in HAZ but it also has contributed to HICC in weld metal. Facing the limitations in reducing the hydrogen content, it is now important to consider the microstructural control approach in order to improve the HICC resistance of weld metal . It has been shown that changes in alloy design, and hence composition and microstructure, was quite effective in producing high strength weld metal with improved resistance to cold cracking. Besides the economic test methods for evaluating susceptibility of multipass weld metal is essential to promote the development of welding consumables.

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.

This study was focused on the recognition of historical values and the establishment of conservation schemes for a Silla stone monument in Bongpyeong-ri, Uljin by combining the humanistic investigation of inscription reinterpretation and the scientific conservational diagnosis of deterioration. According to the investigation of inscription, a total of 13 letters were reconsidered compared to the preceding researches. Thus, the meaning and interpretation of previous inscription was partially changed. This monument is composed of gneissose leucogranite and the most suitable site as provenance of the stone would be the Jukbyeon seashore (2.1km). The site shows similar color, size and composition of minerals, gneissose structure and magnetic susceptibility as the Bongpyeong stone monument. This monument developed a structural crack (crack index 0.4) and a microcrack (crack index 2.0) along the gneissose structure. The horizontal strength is weaker than the vertical strength. Therefore, the cracks should be reinforced and treated. However, consolidating is not urgently needed because the total weathering grade by ultrasonic velocity shows the stage of moderate weathering(3,403m/s, 0.32). Also, the major problems of chemical deterioration are blackening (85.2%) with soil, iron oxide,rubbing mark, and salt crystals (17.3%) from the sea. Therefore, the contaminants and the salt crystals should be removed using pressure spray and pulp paper, while the application of poultice should be examined through clinical tests.

Hydrogen infiltration into metals has been reported to induce alterations in their mechanical properties under load. In this study, we conducted CTOD (Crack Tip Opening Displacement) tests on steel specimens designed for use in liquid hydrogen storage systems. Electrochemical hydrogen charging was performed using both FCC series austenitic stainless steel and BCC series structural steel specimens, while CTOD testing was carried out using a 500kN-class material testing machine. Results indicate a notable divergence in behavior: SS400 test samples exhibited a higher susceptibility to failure compared to austenitic stainless steel counterparts, whereas SUS 316L test samples displayed minimal changes in displacement and maximum load due to hydrogen charging. However, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) analysis results presented challenges in clearly explaining the mechanical degradation phenomenon in the tested materials. This study's resultant database holds significant promise for enhancing the safety design of liquid hydrogen storage systems, providing invaluable insights into the performance of various steel alloys under the influence of hydrogen embrittlement.

The high strength AlZnMgCu0.5 alloy is a light metal with good age hardenability, and has a high tensile and yielding strength. Therefore, it can be used for structures requiring high speciple strength. Even though high strength AlZnMgCu alloy has good mechanical properties, it has a lot of problems in TIG and MIG welding processes. Since lots of high heat absorption is introduced into the weldment during TIG and MIG processes, the microstructural variation and hot cracks take place in heat affected zone. Therefore, the mechanical properties of high strength AlZnMgCu0.5 alloy can be degraded in weldment and heat affected zone. Welding process utilizing high density heat source such as electron beam should be developed to reduce pore and hot cracking, whichare usually accompanied by MIG and TIG welding processes. In this work, electron beam welding process were used with or without AlMg4.5Mn as filler material to avoid the degradation of mechanical properties. Mechanical and metallurgical characteristics were also studied in electron beam weldment and heat affected zone. Moreover hot cracking mechanism was also investigated.

This article shows that the susceptibility of the device pattern to thermal stress-induced damage has a strong dependence on its proximity to the device comer in semiconductor devices utilizing lead-on-chip (LOC) die attach technique. The result, as explained based on numerical calculation and experiment, indicateds that the stress-driven damage potential of the passivation layer is the highest at the device comer. Thus, the bonding pads, which are very susceptible to passivation damage, should be designed to be located along the central region rather than the peripheral region of the device.

The characteristics of the stress corrosion cracking of SUS 304 stainless steel were studied with the specimens of the constant displacement type under the environment of various MgCl sub(2) aqueous solutions. Main results obtained are as follows; 1) Latent time of crack initiations is delayed in the SCC under low condition of initial stress intensity K sub(Ii) value. 2) SCC occurs owing to the passive film-rupture by both load and Cl ion under MgCl sub(2) boiled aqueous solution. 3) The susceptibility of SCC can be largely improved by reducing the temperature in case of the high concentration of MgCl sub(2) aqueous solution.

Brackets in ships and offshore structures are added structures that can endure stress concentrations. In this study, a concurrent engineering solution was proposed, and a high strength low carbon cast steel alloy applicable to offshore structures was designed and developed. The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the designed steel were 480 and 600 MPa, respectively. The carbon equivalent of the steel was 0.446 with a weld crack susceptibility index of 0.219. The optimal structural design of the brackets for offshore structures was evaluated using ANSYS commercial software. The possibility of replacing an assembly of conventional built-up brackets with a single casting bulb bracket was verified. The casting process was simulated using MAGMAsoft commercial software, and a casting fabrication process was designed. For the proposed bulb bracket, it was possible to reduce the size and weight by approximately 30% and 50%, respectively, compared to the conventional type of bracket.

The crevice stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility of austenitic stainless steels was evaluated in simulated pressurized water reactor (PWR) environments. To simulate the abnormal condition in temporary clamping devices on leaking small bore pipes, crevice bent beam (CBB) tests were performed in the oxygenated as well as hydrogenated conditions. No SCC cracks were found for SS316 in both conditions. SS304 also showed good resistance in the hydrogenated condition. However, all SS304 specimens showed SCC cracks in the oxygenated condition, indicating poor crevice SCC resistance. It was found that residual ferrites were selectively dissolved because of the galvanic corrosion coupled with the neigh-bouring austenite phase, resulting in SCC initiation in SS304. Crack morphologies were mostly transgranular assisted by the damaged δ-ferrite and deformation-induced slip bands.
