현재 국내에서 공장 보수용접이 가장 많이 이루어지고 있는 선박 엔진 부품은 피스톤 크라운과 배기밸브이다. 또한 선박 엔진 밸브와 크랭크 축 등의 경우에는 신규 부품에서도 성능향상을 위해 표면개질방법으로 오버레이 용접이 시공되고 있다. 용착률을 높이는 고능률 오버레이 용접 공정으로 Hot Wire GTAW, Cold Tandem GMAW, Band Arc SAW, Tandem SAW법이 개발되어 있고, 용사방법으로 PTA공정이 현장에서 많이 시공되고 있다. 입열량 제어가 용이한 공정으로 GMAW-Pulse, CMT 용접공정이 있다. 엔진 배기밸브의 보수를 위한 오버레이공정에서 열영향부에 가까운 모재 내에 액화균열이 발생하는 경우가 있어 주의를 요한다. GMAW-Pulse 공정과 CMT공정에서는 입열량 제어가 용이하여 높은 용착속도를 유지하면서도 액화균열의 발생 없이 엔진 밸브의 보수 또는 표면 개질 목적으로 시공이 가능하다. 최근에 국내에서 고능률 용접 공정으로 선박엔진의 보수 또는 표면 개질 목적으로 사용 가능한 Super-TIG 용접공정이 개발되어 있다. 이 공정은 아크를 플라즈마 스트림이라고 보고 전류증가에 따라 커지는 아크압력을 막으면서도 용가재의 용융 효율이 극대화 되도록 폭이 큰 C형의 오목한 용가재를 발명하여 용착률을 획기적으로 향상시킨 용접공정이다.

Neutron dose level at bottom head of a reactor pressure vessel (RPV) was calculated using reactor vessel neutron transport for a Korean nuclear power plant A. At 34 EFPY with a 40-year (2042) design life after plating repair, irradiation fast neutron effect was 6.6x10¹⁵ n/cm². As helium(He) gas can be generated by Ni only at 1/10⁶ level of 5 × 10²¹ n/cm², He generation possibility in the Ni plating layer is very little during 40 years of operation (2042, 34 EFPY). Thermal neutrons can significantly affect the generation of He from Ni metal. At 10 years after a repair, He can be generated at a level of about 0.06 appm, a level that can add general welding repair without any consideration. After 40 years of repair, 9.8 appm of He may be generated. Although this is a rather high value, it is within the range of 0.1 to 10 appm when welding repair can be applied. Clad repair by Ni electroplating technology is expected to greatly improve the operation efficiency by improving the safety and shortening the maintenance period of the nuclear power plant.

Recently, the repair and recycling of damaged mechanical parts via metal additive manufacturing processes have been industrial points of interest. This is because the repair and recycling of damaged mechanical parts can reduce energy and resource consumption. The directed energy deposition(DED) process has various advantages such as the possibility of selective deposition, large building space, and a small heat-affected zone. Hence, it is a suitable process for repairing damaged mechanical parts. The shaft is a core component of various mechanical systems. Although there is a high demand for the repair of the shaft, it is difficult to repair with traditional welding processes because of the thermal deformation problem. The objective of this study is to propose a repair procedure for a damaged shaft using the DED process and discuss its applications. Three types of cases, including a small shaft with a damaged surface, a medium-size shaft with a worn bearing joint, and a large shaft with serious damage, were repaired using the proposed procedure. The microstructure and hardness were examined to discuss the characteristics of the repaired component. The efficiency of the repair of the damaged shaft is also discussed.

The operating temperature has been increased to improve the efficiency of gas turbine. The most advanced Gas turbine is operated at above $1,500^{\circ}C$. Improvement in material and cooling method permit hot gas path component to run at increased temperature. But, the repair of blades which are developed with advanced manufacture technique is difficult to use normal welding. Most of gas turbine blades are made of precipitation harden nickel base superalloy, which is very hard to weld. Therefore, the employment of welding filler on blade is solid solution nickel base superalloy(Hastelloy X, Inconel 617). In this study, Tensile test in high temperature was conducted on welded GTD111DS with GTD111 to evaluate effect of variation of pre, post treatment. The result of this study showed that the specimen was treated with optimum pre and post treatment(preweld HT($1200^{\circ}C$), Post treatment($1100^{\circ}C$ HIP, $1200^{\circ}C$ + $1100^{\circ}C$ + $800^{\circ}C$ HT) is mush superior.

This study discusses challenges of running expandable profile liners (EPLs) to isolate trouble zones in directional section of a deep well, and summary the expandable profile liner technology (EPLT) field trial experience. Technically, the trial result reveals that it is feasible to apply the EPLT solving lost-circulation control problem and wellbore instability in the deep directional section. Propose schemes for optimizing the EPLT operation procedure to break through the existing bottleneck of EPLT in the deep directional section. Better-performing transition joints are developed to improve EPL string reliability in high borehole curvature section. High-performing and reliable expanders reduce the number of trips, offer excellent mechanical shaping efficiency, simplify the EPLT operation procedure. Application of the expansion and repair integrated tool could minimize the risk of insufficient expansion and increase the operational length of the EPL string. The new welding process and integrated automatic welding equipment improve the welding quality and EPL string structural integrity. These optimization schemes and recent new advancements in EPLT can bring significant economic benefits and promote the application of EPLT to meet future challenges.
