The 3D printing technology is one of the fourth industrial revolution technology that drives innovation in the manufacturing process, and should be applied to nuclear industry for various purposes according to the manufacturing trend change. In nuclear industry, it can be applied to manufacture obsolete items and new designed parts in advanced reactors or small modular reactors (SMRs), replacing the traditional manufacturing technologies. A gate valve body was manufactured, which was obsolete in nuclear power plant, using DED(Directed Energy Deposition) metal 3D printing technology after restoring design characteristics including 3D design drawing by reverse engineering. The 3D printed valve body was assembled with commercial parts such as seat-ring, disk, stem, and actuator for performance test. For the valve assembly, including 3D printed valve body, several tests were performed, including pressure test, end-loading test, and seismic test according to KEPIC MGG and KEPIC MFC. In the pressure test, hydraulic pressure of 391kgf/cm² was applied to 3D printed valve body, and no leak was detected. Also the 3D printed valve assembly was performed well in end-loading and seismic tests.

Recently, the fuel using in the diesel engines of marine ships has been changed to a low quality of heavy oil because of the steady increase in the price of oil. Therefore, the wear and corrosion in all parts of the engine such as the cylinder liner, piston crown, and spindle and seat ring of exhaust valves has correspondingly increased. The repair welding of a piston crown is a unique method for prolonging its lifetime from an economic point of view. In this case, filler metals with a high corrosion and wear resistance are mainly being used for repair welding. However, often at a job site on a ship, a piston crown is actually welded with mild filler metals. Therefore, in this study, mild filler metals such as CSF350H, E8000B2, and 435 were welded to SS401 steel as the base metal, and the corrosion properties of the weld metals with and without post weld heat treatment were investigated using some electrochemical methods in a 0.1% $H_2SO_4$ solution. The weld metal welded with CSF350H filler metal exhibited the best corrosion resistance among these filler metals, irrespective of the heat treatment. However, the weld metal zones of the E8000B2 and 435 filler metals exhibited better and worse corrosion resistance with the heat treatment, respectively. As a result, it is suggested that in the case of repair welding with CSF350H and 435 filler metals, no heat treatment is advisable, while heat treatment is desirable if E8000B2filler metal is used with repair welding.

고압을 받는 플랜트용 제품 설계 시에 대부분 강건 구조를 지양하다 보면 안전율이 높아지고 중량이 과다 해지는 문제가 있다. 본 논문은 플랜트용 이축 볼밸브 볼의 경량화를 위하여 밸브의 3차원 모델링과 ANSYS를 적용한 유한요소해석으로 응력해석을 수행한 후에, 허용 응력 범위와 설계 변경 제한 조건 내에서 최적화 과정으로 볼의 중량 감소를 달성하였다. 약 22%의 볼 중량이 감소되었고 응력은 증가하였으나 안전계수는 1.25가 되었다. 볼의 일부분에 과도한 응력이 있으나 대부분 재료의 항복응력 허용치 내에 있어 안전한 상태이다. 유동의 흐름을 제어하는 실링 (seal) 역할을 하는 시트 인서트와 시트 링 등 밸브의 3차원 모델에 대한 정적 구조해석으로 응력 값을 확인하여 안전함을 확인하였고, 또한 대칭 구조인 부분에 대해 2차원 단순 모델의 구조해석으로 같은 결과가 도출됨을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 범위는 볼의 중량 감소라 볼의 감소된 치수가 도출되었으며, 주변 부재의 재설계는 (신제품 개발에 해당되어) 본 연구에 고려되지 않는다.

본 연구에서는 특수가스용기용 밸브의 안전성에 관한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 시험용 밸브는 특수가스용기에 부착되었던 것을 무작위로 수거한 것으로 가스누출 및 작동 안전성에 대한 시험을 실시하였다. 실험결과에 의하면, 밸브의 몸체, 나사 체결부, 안전판, 방출구, 스템부, 핸들에서 가스누출 안전성에 영향을 미칠 정도의 크랙, 마모, 부식, 변형이 발생하지 않았다. 다만, 핸들의 페인트 일부가 벗겨지고, PT나사와 몸체에서 녹이 국부적으로 형성되어 있지만, 가스누출 안전성에 영향을 미칠 정도는 아니었다. 또한, 탈거한 밸브에서 가스누출은 발생되지 않았다. 다만, 밸브스템의 영구변형과 오링의 마찰표면 일부에서 손상이 관찰되었다. 따라서, 탈거된 밸브의 가스누출 안전성을 보장하기 위해서 밸브시트와 오링 교체하는 것이 바람직함을 알 수 있다. 또한, 핸들의 조임력을 주기적으로 점검하는 것이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

Recently a fuel oil of the diesel engine of the marine ship is being changed with heavy oil of low quality as the oil price is higher more and more. Therefore the wear and corrosion in all parts of the engine such as cylinder liner, piston crown, spindle and seat ring of exhaust valves are predominantly increased. In particular the degree of wear and corrosion of piston crown is more seriously compared to the other parts of the engine due to operating in severe environment such as the high temperature of exhaust gas and repeating impact. Thus the repair weldment of the piston crown is a unique method to prolong the its life in a economical point of view. In this case, filler metals having a high corrosion and wear resistance such as stellite 6, Inconel 625 and Inconel 718 are mainly being used for repair welding. However it has been often happened that piston crown on the ship,s job site is being actually inevitably welded with mild filler metals. Therefore in this study, filler metals such as E4301, E4313 and E4316 were welded at SS401 steel as the base metal, and corrosion property of their weld metals in the case of post weld heat treatment or not was investigated with some electrochemical methods such as measurement of corrosion potential, cathodic and anodic polarization curves, cyclic voltammogram and polarization resistance etc. in 0.1% $H_2SO_4$ solution. Corrosion resistance of the weld metal of E4301 was better than the other weld metals in the case of no heat treatment, however, its resistance was considerably decreased with post weld heat treatment(annealing:$625^{\circ}C$, 2 hr) compared to other weld metals. The weld metals of E4313 and E4316 showed a relatively good corrosion resistance by post weld heat treatment.
