API X-80강재의 수소유기균열(HIC)현상을 비파괴적으로 평가하는 장치를 구축하고 금상학적 평가를 수행하였다. 시편은 열간 압연된 API X-80강재이며 평균입도는 약 $1.76-1.99{\mu}m$ 이었다. 압연재의 금상학적 집합조직은 (110)극점은 ND방향에 평행, (100)극점은 TD방향으로 약 $30^{\circ}$, TD방향으로부터 RD방향으로 약 $45^{\circ}$ 기울어져 있으며, (211)면은 RD방향에 수직인 면으로부터 TD방향으로 약 $35^{\circ}$ 기울어져서 있었다. Pin-on-disk형 마모시험기를 이용한 상온 평균 마찰계수는 0.745였으며 마모손실은 0.0196 mm/min 이었다. 3축 제어 초음파 비파괴 검사 장비는 표면으로부터 약 3mm 깊이의 1 mm 크기의 모의 균열을 탐촉자가 10 mm 접근하면 검출이 가능하였다. HIC시험분위기(NACE-standard TM 0248)에 1일 이상 장입하면 초음파비파괴검사장비로 측정될 수 있는 마이크로미터크기의 균열을 측정할 수 있었다.

The use of biogas is an industrially necessary means to achieve resource circulation. However, since biogas obtained from waste frequently causes corrosion in pipes, it is important to elucidate corrosion mechanisms of the pipes used for biogas transportation. Recently, corrosion failure occurred in a pipe which supplied for the biogas at the speed of 12.5 m/s. Pinholes and pits were found in a straight line along the seamline of the pipe. By using corrosion-damaged samples, residual thickness, microstructure, and composition of oxide film and inclusion were examined to analyze the cause of the failure. It was revealed that the thickness reduction of biogas pipe was ~0.11 mm per year. A thin sulfuric acid film was formed on the surface of the interior of a pipe due to moisture and hydrogen sulfide contained in a biogas. Near the seamline, microstructure was heterogeneous and manganese sulfide (MnS) was found. Pits were generated by micro-galvanic corrosion between the manganese sulfide and the matrix in the interior of the pipe along the seamline. In addition, microcracks formed along the grain boundaries beneath the pits revealed that hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) also contributed to accelerating the pitting corrosion.
