Characteristics of the interface between tube and tube sheet which were formed by explosive expansion and roll expansion, have been studied in the research. The results are as follows: Optimum amounts of explosives for the expansion of Alloy 600 (19.05mm and 15.88mm) were found to be RDX 3.5-8.5g/m. Because explosive expansion caused les strain hardening and increased bounding strength, characteristics of the explosively expanded were better than those of mechanically expanded. As the transition region of the explosive expansion is inactive, the resistance to the stress corrosion cracking increases by 30∼40% compared to the roll and hydraulic expansion.

This study deals with interface charactristics of tube and tubesheet of the nuclear steam generator by the explosive expansion in order to take advantage of optimum expansion ratio, pull-out strength and leakage tightness and improvement of the resisitance on the stress corrosion cracking for low residual stress. The paper also show the relationship between roll, hydraulic and explosive expansion. The results obtain are as follows (1) Because of the explosive bonding is to use the high speed pressure and energy by the explosive, workability is good, bonding region is homogenous (2) Expansion ratio is 2.7%, Pull-out strength 850kg, Leakage strength $500kg/cm^2$. Clearance gap is 10~30mm in case of explosive expansion and interface structure of the tube and tubesheet is optimum condition. (3) As the transition region of the explosive expansion is inactive, the resistance of the stress corrosion cracking is increases 30~40% compare to the roll and hydraulic expansion.

The explosive forming has been used for many year to expand tubes into tubesheets. this process has demonstrated ability to direct carefully the energy of an explosive to expand tubes into tubesheet holes without damaging the tubesheet and without causing the excessive cold work at the tube I.D. that is normally associated with mechanical expansion. The success of explosive tube expansion provided the background for the development of the explosive tube plug. The main results are as follows : (1) The optimum explosives and explosive qualities are PETN, RDX, HMS and about 18~31gr/ft of explosive plugging in nuclear steam generator. (2) Explosive plugging's thickness is 0.9~1.8mm. If groove of 0.4 mm formed in plug outside, For the hydraulic leakage is go up, explosive plugging of formed groove are applicate tube and tubrplate. (3) Sheath is designed on the polyethylene of low density, In thermal impact test of the $430^\circ{C}$, hydraulic leakage is $300kg/cm^2$. (4) About 10~60mm oxide inclusions are existed on the space of explosive plug and tube protect to the leakage.

한국표준형원전(OPR-1000)의 증기발생기 전열관은 관재료로 Alloy 600과 Alloy 690이 사용되고 있으며 전열관 확관방법은 폭발확관법이 적용되었다. 원전 운전경험에 따르면 전열관 확관법으로 폭발확관법이 사용된 증기발생기의 전열관들은 원주방향 균열이 잘 발생하였으며 그 위치는 전열관의 확관천이부위 외면이었고 슬러지에 의해 둘러싸인 지역이었다. 그러나 같은 조건의 전열관이라도 수압확관법이 적용된 경우는 원주방향 균열보다는 축방향 균열이 우세한 경향을 보여왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 상기와 같은 차이를 규명하기 위하여 전열관과 관판의 형상을 모델링하였으며 확관법에 따라 운전중 조건에서 전열관의 확관천이 부위에 작용하는 응력의 크기를 전산프로그램을 사용하여 계산하였고, 균열의 방향성과 우세성을 평가하였다.

Steam generator tubes for nuclear power plants contain the local shape transitions on their inner or outer surface such as dent, bulge, over-expansion, eccentricity, deflection, and so on by the application of physical force during the tube manufacturing and steam generator assembling and by the sludge (that is, corrosion products) produced during the plant operation. The structural integrity of tubes will be degraded by generating the corrosive crack at that location. The profilometry using the traditional bobbin probes which are currently applied for measuring the profile change of tubes gives us basic information such as axial locations and average magnitudes of deformations. However, the three-dimensional quantitative evaluation on circumferential locations, distributional angle, and size of deformations will have to be conducted to understand the effects of residual stresses increased by local deformations on corrosive cracking of tubes. Steam generator tubes of Korean standard nuclear power plants expanded within their tube-sheets by the explosive expansion method and suffered from corrosive cracks in the early stage of power operation. Thus, local deformations of steam generator tubes at the top of tube-sheet were measured with an advanced rotating probe and a laser profiling system for the two cases where the tubes expanded by the explosive expansion method and hydraulic expansion. Also, the trends of eccentricity, deflection, and over-expansion of tubes were evaluated. The advanced eddy current profilometry was confirmed to provide accurate information of local deformations compared with laser profilometry.

In this study, a novel approach to the explosive synthesis of titanium carbide (TiC) is discussed. Nonstoichiometric $TiC_x$ powder was produced via the underwater explosion of a Ti powder encapsulated within a spherical explosive charge. The explosion process, bubble formation, and synthesis process were visualized using high-speed camera imaging. It was concluded that synthesis occurred within the detonation gas during the first expansion/contraction cycle of the bubble, which was accompanied by a strong emission of light. The recovered powders were studied using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Submicron particles were generated during the explosion. An increase in the carbon content of the starting powder resulted in an increase in the carbon content of the final product. No oxide byproducts were observed within the recovered powders.

본 논문은 기존 폭발볼트의 기능을 그대로 유지하면서 분리시 발생되는 파편 및 충격파의 악작용을 완벽히 제거할 수 있는 가스팽창분리형 볼트의 분리거동에 관한 연구이다. 가스팽창분리형 볼트는 분리화약을 사용하지 않고 압력카트리지의 압력만 이용하여 분리가 이루어지게 개발된 파이로 장치로써, 분리거동을 수치해석 함으로써 볼트의 설계인자를 최적화할 수 있었다. 수치해석 및 시험결과에서 노치는 쐐기형태를 가지며 내부 홈 깊이가 분리면과 일치하는 모델이 가장 좋은 분리현상이 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제시한 볼트 설계인자의 최적화 방법은 향후 다른 종류의 폭발볼트와 같은 파이로 장치 설계에 기초자료를 제공할 수 있다.

폭약은 다양한 종류가 존재하며, 각 폭약마다 내수성, 폭굉에 필요한 에너지, 파쇄력 등의 특성이 상이하기 때문에 폭약의 특성에 대한 이해는 폭약의 안전한 사용 및 성능 향상에 중요하다. 폭약의 특성의 이해를 위해 다양한 실험들과 더불어 간접적인 방법으로 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션이 활용되고 있으며, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 폭약의 폭굉 과정을 표현하기 위해서 상태방정식을 활용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 폭약의 상태방정식 중 주로 사용하는 JWL EOS의 대한 설명과 JWL EOS의 계수를 산정하기 위한 실린더 팽창 실험을 ANSYS AUTODYN으로 구현하여 실제 실험 결과와 비교, 분석하였다. 그 결과, 20% 내외의 오차율이 발생하였으며, 압력과 에너지의 전체적인 변화 양상이 기 발표된 실험 결과와 일치함을 볼 수 있었다.
