15Cr-5Ni 석출강화 스테인리스강 3종류의 피로균열 발생과 성장 특성 및 파괴인성에 대하여 노치함수로서 연구하였다. 3종류강의 열처리 조건은 $482\;^{\circ}C,\;579\;^{\circ}C$ 및 $621\;^{\circ}C$이다. $621\;^{\circ}C$에서 4시간동안 열처리한 시험편 C는 약 $280\;MPa\;\sqrt{m}$의 가장 높은 파괴인성을 보였으며, 3종류에서 피로균열 성장이 가장 늦었다. $482\;^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 열처리한 시험편 A에서, 피로균열발생한계, ${\Delta}k{\rho}$, 는 노치반경0.3 mm에서 약 $280\;MPa\;\sqrt{m}$의 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 시험편 A는 시험편 B와 C보다 피로균열 성장이 빨랐지만, 피로균열 발생이 늦었다. 예 하중에 의한 노치선단의 압축잔류응력은 노치 시험편의 피로강도 향상에 유용한 방법이었다.

Microstructural changes during tempering at the temperature range of $300^{\circ}C{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ for the nitrogen-permeated STS 410 and 410L martensitic stainless steels has been investigated. After nitrogen permeation at temperature between 1050 and $1150^{\circ}C$, the surface layer appeared fine $Cr_2N$ of square and rod types in the martensite matrices. Hardness of the nitrogen-permeated surface layer represented 680Hv and 625Hv, respectively, for 410 and 410L steels. It is considered that the fine homogeneously dispersive effect of precipitates by nitrogen caused the increased hardness. Due to the counter current effect of carbon from interior to surface during nitrogen diffusion from surface to interior, the 0.1%C alloyed 410 steel showed the low nitrogen content of 0.025% compared with 0.045% of 410L steel at the distance of $100{\mu}m$ from the surface. Tempering of nitrogen-alloyed 410 and 410L showed the maximum hardness at $450^{\circ}C$. This maximum hardness was considered to be the secondary hardening effect of very fine carbide and nitride. The decrease in hardness at $700^{\circ}C$ was the softening effect of the matrix due to the precipitation of many needle-shaped $Cr_2N$ for 410 steel and the precipitation of coarse nitride of $Cr_2N$ in line with the spherical precipitates with directionality for 410L steel. For 410 steel, the corrosion resistance of nitrogen permeated surface in the solution of 1 N $H_2SO_4$ were nearly unchanged, however the superior corrosion resistance was obtained for nitrogen permeated 410L steel compared to the solution annealed condition.

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have attracted wide attention as key technologies for the next industrial revolution. Among AM technologies using various materials, powder bed fusion (PBF) processes and direct energy deposition (DED) are representative of the metal 3-D printing process. Both of these processes have a common feature that the laser is used as a heat source to fabricate the 3-D shape through melting of the metal powder and solidification. However, the material properties of the deposited metals differ when produced by different process conditions and methods. 17-4 precipitation-hardening stainless steel (17-4PH SS) is widely used in the field of aircraft, chemical, and nuclear industries because of its good mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance. In this study, we investigated the differences in microstructure and mechanical properties of deposited 17-4PH SS by PBF and DED processes, including the heat treatment effect.
