Cubic boron nitride (c-BN) is a promising material for use in many potential applications because of its outstanding physical properties such as high thermal stability, high abrasive wear resistance, and super hardness. Even though 316L austenitic stainless steel (STS) has poor wear resistance causing it to be toxic in the body due to wear and material chips, 316L STS has been used for implant biomaterials in orthopedics due to its good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Therefore, in the present study, c-BN films with a $B_4C$ layer were applied to a 316L STS specimen in order to improve its wear resistance. The deposition of the c-BN films was performed using an r.f. (13.56 MHz) magnetron sputtering system with a $B_4C$ target. The coating layers were characterized using XPS and SEM, and the mechanical properties were investigated using a nanoindenter. The friction coefficient of the c-BN coated 316L STS steel was obtained using a pin-on-disk according to the ASTM G163-99. The thickness of the obtained c-BN and $B_4C$ were about 220 nm and 630 nm, respectively. The high resolution XPS spectra analysis of B1s and N1s revealed that the c-BN film was mainly composed of $sp^3$ BN bonds. The hardness and elastic modulus of the c-BN measured by the nanoindenter were 46.8 GPa and 345.7 GPa, respectively. The friction coefficient of the c-BN coated 316L STS was decreased from 3.5 to 1.6. The wear property of the c-BN coated 316L STS was enhanced by a factor of two.

The aim of this study is to develop sintered stainless steels (SSS) with good mechanical strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance by nitrogen ion implantation on the Culated SSS surface. Stainless steel compacts containg Cu (2-10 wt%) were prepared by electroless Cu-pating method which results in the increased3 homogenization in alloying powder. Nitrogen ion implantation was carried out by using N2 gas as the ion source. Nitrogen ions were embedded by an acceleratol of 130keV with doese $3.0\times10^{17}\;ions/\textrm{cm}^2$ on the SSS at $25^{\circ}C$ in$2\times10^{-6}$ torr vacuum. The nitrogen ion implanted SSS obtained from anodic ploarization curves revealed higher corrosion potential than that of nitrogen ion unimplante one. And nitrogen ion implanted 316LSSS had good resistance to pitting corrosion due to the synergistic effect of Mo and N, and the inhibition of $NH_4\;^+$<\TEX>, against $CI^-$<\TEX>.

Stainless steels (AISI 316L) are carburized by Inductively coupled plasma using $CH_4$ and Ar gas. The ${\gamma}_c$ phase(S-phase) is formed on the surface of stainless steel after carburizing process. The XRD peak of carburized samples is shifted to lower diffracting angle due to lattice expansion. Overall, the thickness of ${\gamma}_c$ phase showed a linear dependence with respect to increasing temperature due to the faster rate of diffusion of carbon. However, at temperatures above 500, the thickness data deviated from the linear trend. It is expected that the deviation was caused from atomic diffusion as well as other reactions that occurred at high temperatures. The interfacial contact resistance (ICR) and corrosion resistance are measured in a simulated proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) environment. The ICR value of the carburized samples decreased from 130 $m{\Omega}cm^2$ (AISI 316L) to about 20 $m{\Omega}cm^2$. The sample carburized at 200 showed the best corrosion current density (6 ${\mu}Acm^{-2}$).

스테인레스강은 고온, 고압에서 부식에 효과적인 재료로써 액화수소, 가스 등을 저장하는 저장용기 및 고온의 유체들을 이송하는 배관재료로 널리 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로 스테인레스강의 용접은 TIG용접이 이용되어지고 있으며 용접후 용접부위에 발생하는 초기 용접결함 및 사용중 발생하는 열적 피로균열 등이 재료의 신뢰성을 저하하는 요인들로 지적되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 레이저 유도초음파를 이용하여 초기 용접결함에 대한 초음파 특성 규명을 위하여 스테인레스강의 용접부에 인공균열의 크기를 5 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm 길이로 가공후 유도초음파의 결함 길이 변화에 따른 특성을 평가하였다. 배관의 두께 등을 고려하여 L(0,1)모드와 L(0,2)모드를 이용하였으며 각각의 모드가 결함의 길이 변화에 따라 변화를 보였지만 L(0,2)모드가 L(0,1)모드보다 결함 길이에 더욱 민감하게 반응하였다. 본 연구에서는 L(0,1)모드와 L(0,2)모드의 진폭비를 구하여 결함과의 연관성을 평가한 결과 결함 길이와 선형적인 관계를 나타냄으로써 각 모드를 단독적으로 평가하는 것보다는 두 모드의 진폭비를 이용하여 결함을 평가하는 것이 더욱 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

LiCl 및 $LiCl/Li_2O$ 용융염분위기에서 오스테나이트 스테인레스강, SUS 316L과 SUS 304L의 부식특성을 650­~$850^{\circ}C$ 온도범위에서 조사하였다. SUS 316L과 304L의 부식층은 외부 $Li(CrFe)O_2와 내부 Cr_2O_3$의 2층 구조를 형성하였다. LiCl 용융염중에서는 균일한 부식충이 형성되지만, $LiCl/Li_2O$ 혼합용융염중에서는 균일한 부식충 형성외에 업계부식이 발생되는 것을 알 수 있었다. $750^{\circ}C$까지 온도 증가에 따른 부식속도의 증가속도는 느리고, $750^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 부식속도가 급격히 증가하였다. 용융염분위기에서 SUS 316L은 SUS 304L에 비하여 부식속도가 느려셔 보다 좋은 내식성을 나타내였다.

We have investigated traits of clad metals in hot-rolled clad steel plates, sensitization and mechanical properties of STS 316 steel plate and carbon steel(A516). Clad steel plates were butt-weld by SAW+SMAW, and with the time of heat treatment as the variable, heat treatment was conducted at $625^{\circ}C$, for 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280 minutes. As a way to evaluate it, sectioned weldments and external surfaces were investigated to reveal the degree of sensitization by mechanical property, etching and those of EPR test, results were compared with it. In short, the purpose of this study is suggesting some considerations in developing on-site techniques to evaluate the sensitization of stainless steels.

스테인리스강은 기계적 강도와 전기 전도성이 우수하고 가공이 용이하여 고분자전해질 연료전지의 분리판으로 적용되고 있다. 하지만 스테인리스강의 부식으로 인하여 접촉 저항이 증가하여 연료전지 성능이 저하하는 문제점이 있고, 귀금속 재료를 코팅하여 내식성을 높일 수 있으나 비용이 증가하는 단점이 있다. 금속 분리판의 내구성 확보와 경제성 개선을 위하여 고분자전해질 연료전지에서 스테인리스 강 분리판의 부식 거동과 부동태막에 의한 영향을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 반응 면적이 25 cm²인 SUS316L 분리판을 제작하였고, 수소극과 공기극에 대한 SUS316L 분리판의 부식 거동을 분석하였다. SUS316L 분리판 부식이 연료전지 성능에 미치는 영향을 분극 곡선과 임피던스, 접촉저항을 측정하여 평가하였다. 연료전지 구동 간에 배출 수를 포집하여 SUS316L 분리판에서 용출된 금속 이온의 농도를 분석하였다. SUS316L 분리판에 대하여 공기극에서보다 수소극에서 부식이 활발하게 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 연료전지 반응에 따라 부동태막이 형성되어 접촉 저항이 증가하였고, 부동태막이 형성된 이후에도 지속적으로 금속 이온이 용출되었다.

Effect of pretreatments on the graphene coated bipolar plate of proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) was investigated in simulated environments for PEMFC by using electrochemical measurement techniques. Interfacial contact resistance(ICR) between the graphene coated bipolar plate and the gas diffusion layer(GDL) was measured. The value of ICR decreased with an increase in compaction stress($20N/cm^2{\sim}220N/cm^2$). ICR of graphene coated bipolar plate was higher than that of bare 316L stainless steel. However, Potentiodynamic measurement results showed that the corrosion resistance of graphene coated bipolar plate was higher than that of bare 316L stainless steel. $H_2SO_4$ acid pretreatment was the most effective among various pretreatments. The lowest ICR and the corrosion current density were obtained when using $H_2SO_4$ solution pretreatment.

Capsules containing NaCl-MgCl₂ salt with 316L stainless steel or alloy N samples were irradiated in the Ohio State University Research Reactor for 21 nonconsecutive hours. A custom irradiation vessel was designed for this purpose, and details on its design and construction are given. Stainless steel samples that were irradiated during exposure had less corrosive attack than samples exposed to the same conditions without irradiation. Alloy N samples showed no significant effect of irradiation. This work shows a method for conducting in-reactor irradiation-corrosion experiments in static molten salts and presents preliminary data showing that neutron irradiation may decelerate corrosion of alloys in molten chloride salts.

A number of creep data were collected and filed for type 316LN stainless steels through literature survey and experimental data produced in KAERI. Using these data, polynomial equations for predicting creep life were obtained for Larson Miller (L-M), Qrr-Sherby-Dorn (O-S-D) and Manson-Haferd (M-H) parametric methods. In order to find out the suitability for them, the relative standard error (RSE) and standard error of estimate (SEE) values were obtained by statistical process of creep data. The O-S-D parameter showed better fitting to creep-rupture data than the L-M or the M-H parameters, and the three parametric methods did not generate the large difference in the SEE and the RSE values.
