A study on the effects of oxide growth on the mechanical properties degradation of pure zirconium and Zircaloy-4 is carried out with high temperature tensile tests. It is found that the mechanical properties can deteriorate with the oxide growth less than $1\%$ of total specimen cross section, especially at $300\~400^{\circ}C$ that is zirconium alloy cladding temperature during the nuclear reactor operation. It is also revealed that Young's modulus changes little but yield strength and tensile strength drop down to $20\% and 40\%$ of the room temperature strength, respectively, in the temperature range. Fractographic analysis shows that the number of dimples decreases and fractured surface becomes smooth with increasing oxide thickness.

The aerospace and power generation industries have an increasing demand for high-temperature, high-strength materials. However, conventional materials typically lack sufficient fracture toughness and oxidation resistance at high temperatures. This study aims to enhance the high-temperature properties of Nb-Si-Ti alloys through ball milling. To analyze the effects of milling time, the progression of alloying is evaluated on the basis of XRD patterns and the microstructure of alloy powders. Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is employed to produce compacts, with thermodynamic modeling assisting in predicting phase fractions and sintering temperature ranges. The changes in the microstructure and variation in the mechanical properties due to the adjustment of the sintering temperature provide insights into the influence of Nb solid solution, Nb5Si3, and crystallite size within the compacts. By investigating the changes in the mechanical properties through strengthening mechanisms, such as precipitation strengthening, solid solution strengthening, and crystallite refinement, this study aims to verify the applicability of Nb-Si-Ti alloys in advanced material systems.

In superconducting power devices including power cables in which high temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes are utilized, a reliable electrical insulation should be achieved for its maximum performance. For an efficient design of HTS superconducting devices, a comparative evaluation of the mechanical and thermal propperties for various insulation materials at cryogenic temperatures is required. Especially, in the process of the property evaluation of the sheet-shaped insulation materials, anisotropy according to the machining direction should be considered because the mechanical and thermal properties are significantly influenced by the sample orientation. In this study, the cryogenic thermal and mechanical properties of various insulation material sheets such as PPLP, Cryoflex, Teflon, and Kapton were determined considering sample orientation. All samples tested at cryogenic temperature showed significantly higher tensile strength as compared with that of room temperature. The ultimate tensile strength at both temperature conditions significantly depended upon the sample orientation. The thermal properties of the insulation materials exhibited a slight difference among samples depending on the orientation: for the PPLP and Cryoflex, the CD orientation showed larger thermal contraction up to 77 K as compared to the MD one. MD samples in PPLP and Cryoflex showed a lower CTE and thermal contraction which made it more promising as an insulation material due to its comparable CTE with HTS CC tapes.

This is the fourth of a series of companion papers dealing with the mechanical property reductions of various marine structural steels. Even though a reduction of the elastic modulus according to temperature increases has not been obtained from experiments, high temperature experiments from room temperature to $900^{\circ}C$ revealed that initial the yield strength and tensile strength are both seriously degraded. The mechanical properties obtained from high temperature experiments are compared with those from EC3 (Eurocode 3). It is found that the high temperature test results generally comply with the prediction values by EC3. Based on the prediction of EC3, time domain nonlinear finite element analyses were carried out for a blast wall installed on a real FPSO. After applying the reduced mechanical properties, corresponding to $600^{\circ}C$ to the FE model of the blast wall, more than three times the deflections were observed and it was observed that most structural parts experience plastic deformations exceeding the reduced yield strength at the high temperature. It is noted that a protection facility such as PFP (passive fire protection) should be required for structures likely to be directly exposed to fire and explosion accident.

The characteristics of $Al_2TiO_5$ ceramics were influenced by the additives and the heat treatment that controls the microcrack behavior at grain boundaries. The effect of additives on $Al_2TiO_5$ ceramics were investigated in terms of mechanical properties and thermal expansion at high temperature. The $Al_2TiO_5$ were synthesized at $1500^{\circ}C$, $1550^{\circ}C$ and $1600^{\circ}C$ for 2h by reaction sintering. The formation of $Al_2TiO_5$ phase was increased by additives that enhanced the volume of the microcrack that can lead to low thermal expansion. The mechanical properties of the stabilized $Al_2TiO_5$ ceramics were increased remarkably at $1100^{\circ}C$, $1200^{\circ}C$ and $1300^{\circ}C$ due to the oneset of mechanical healing of grain-bondary microcracks at a high temperature. The amount of microcrack was decreased at lower sintering temperature that causes the increase of mechanical properties at high temperature.

최근, 고강도 콘크리트의 잔존 역학적 특성에 관한 섬유의 혼입과 고온의 영향은 실험적으로 연구되어지고 있다. 이 논문에서는 고온에 노출된 물시멘트비 55%, 42% 및 35%에 따른 콘크리트의 잔존 역학적 특성을 0.05~0.20 vol.%의 범위로 폴리프로필렌 섬유를 혼입한 콘크리트와 비교하여 평가하였고, 고려된 요인은 섬유 혼입량, 콘크리트 강도 및 재하 하중량이다. 폭렬 발생 시간, 열팽창 변형, 길이 변화 및 중량 감소의 측정과 압축강도, 탄성계수 및 에너지 흡수 능력의 평가를 실시했다. 결과로서는 고온에 노출된 50 MPa급 콘크리트의 폭렬을 방지하기 위해서 0.05 vol.% 이상의 PP섬유가 필요했다. 또한, PP섬유의 단면적은 고온에 노출된 섬유보강 콘크리트의 폭렬 경향과 잔존 역학적 특성에 관해서 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 외부 하중은 콘크리트의 잔존 역학적 특성 뿐만 아니라 폭렬의 위험 및 취성적 경향을 증가시켰다.

1970년대부터 고온을 받은 콘크리트의 압축강도, 탄성계수, 열응력 등 콘크리트에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 내적, 외적 인자들의 역학적 특성은 조사되어 왔다. 특히, 골재의 열적 특성이나 냉각 방법은 잔존 역학적 특성을 평가하는데 가장 중요하다. 본 연구에서는, 골재 종류와 냉각 방식에 따른 콘크리트의 역학적 특성에 대해 평가했다. 본 연구에서는 열적특성이 다른 일반 골재와 경량골재를 사용했다. 또한, ${\O}100{\times}200mm$ 원주형 공시체를 사용하여 목표 온도, 서냉 및 급냉조건 후에 역학적 특성을 평가하였다. 결과적으로, 보통 골재를 사용한 콘크리트는 경량골재를 사용한 콘크리트보다 냉각조건이 미치는 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 냉각 속도가 빠르지 않을수록 콘크리트의 잔존 역학적 특성이 크게 나타났다.

Electromagnetic actuators are versatile and able to meet demanding requirements, such as operation in very low or very high temperatures. When the actuator is used in a high-temperature environment up to $500^{\circ}C$, we need to know how the force-producing capability of the actuator is affected by the operating temperature. Specifically, it is necessary to know the temperature-dependence of magnetic properties that determine the mechanical forces. In this paper, we measure the changes in magnetic properties of SUS410 material in high-temperature environment. We also devise a novel signal processing technique to remove the integration drift. At the field strength of 18,000 A/m, we found that the flux density at $500^{\circ}C$ is decreased by 26%, compared to the result at room temperature. Therefore, the actuator must be sized appropriately, if it is to operate in high-temperature settings.

최근 건설되는 강교량은 지간의 장대화 및 교량으로서의 기능은 물론이고 외적 조형미, 유지관리, 공사기간과 수명주기 비용 등을고려한 구조적 단순함을 요한다. 이러한 요구를 충족시키기 위해 극후판이나 TMCP 강과 같은 고성능 강의 사용이 요구된다. TMCP (Thermo-Mechanical Control Proces)법에 의해 제조되는 TMCP 강은 탄소당량이 적고, 조직이 미세하며, 강도 및 인성이 좋다. 최근에는 인장강도 60MPa급의 고강도 TMCP 강인 SM570-TMC 강이 개발되어 토목구조물에 일부 적용되고 있으며, 점차 그 영역을 확장하려는 추세에 있다. 하지만 이러한 고강도 TMCP 강을 강구조물에 적용하기 위해서는 그 재료적 특성뿐만 아니라 용접 시 발생하는 접합부의 역학적 특징을 명확히 할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고온인장실험을 통해서 SM570-TMC 강의 고온시의 기 계적 특성을 조사하였고, 이를 잔류응력 특징을 명확히 하였다.

The microstructural evolution of a cast Ni base superalloy, IN738LC, has been investigated after long term exposure at several temperatures. Most of the fine secondary ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ particles resolved after 2000 hour exposure at $816^{\circ}C$. At higher temperatures of $871^{\circ}C$ and $927^{\circ}C$, secondary ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ resolved after 1000 hours of exposure, and cuboidal primary ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ grew with exposure time. During the thermal exposure, ${\sigma}$ phase formed at all tested temperatures, and ${\eta}$ phase was observed around interdendritic regions due to carbide degeneration. The influence of microstructural evolution during thermal exposure on the mechanical properties has been analyzed. The effects of ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ particle growth are more pronounced on the high temperature creep properties than on the room temperature tensile properties.
