Mechanical characteristics of Hi-Cr cast irons containing 16.8%Cr and 3.0%C were studied with various heat treatments. After as-cast Y-block ingots were annealed fully, the ingots were machined into cylinderical specimens with the size of 9mm in diameter and 20mm in length in order to investigate the effect of heat-treatments on mechanical characteristics of high Cr cast irons. All specimens were heat-treated by quenching- tempering, austempering and cyclic heat at the various temperatures(950, 1000, 1050 and $1100^{\circ}C$) respectively. The wear amount was measured for each heat-treated specimens against the counterpart of a hardened SKD11 steel at the following conditions; wearing velocity: 0.7 m/s, load: 100N and sliding distance: 70 km. After as-cast specimens were annealed, fine $M_{3}C$ carbides were formed, which affected the hardness and the wear resistance of Hi-Cr specimens. High hardness and good wear resistance were appeared on the specimens treated at 950 and $1000^{\circ}C$ and the austempered specimens show excellent wear resistance as well as high hardness.

In this paper, high strength pressure vessel steels having the same chemical compositions were manufactured by the two different steel-making processes, such as vacuum degassing(VD) and electro-slag remelting(ESR) methods. After the steel-making process, they were normalized at $955^{\circ}C$, quenched at $843^{\circ}C$, and finally tempered at $550^{\circ}C$ or $450^{\circ}C$, resulting in tempered martensitic microstructures with different yielding strengths depending on the tempering conditions. Low-cycle fatigue(LCF) tests, fatigue crack growth rate(FCGR) tests, and fracture toughness tests were performed to investigate the fatigue and fracture behaviors of the pressure vessel steels. In contrast to very similar monotonic, LCF, and FCGR behaviors between VD and ESR steels, a quite difference was noticed in the fracture toughness. Fracture toughness of ESR steel was higher than that of VD steel, being attributed to the removal of impurities in steel-making process.

Micro-alloyed steels(MA steels) for cold forging was developed to replace the usual quenched and tempered steel. MA steels have several advantages over the conventional quenched and tempered carbon steels. First of all, energy consumption could be lowered due to the elimination of spherodizing annealing and quenching/tempering heat treatment. Also, bending during quenching could be avoided when MA steels are applied for manufacturing of long fastener parts. However, larger amount of load is exerted on the dies compared than in the case of conventional mild steels, which might lead to the earlier fracture of dies, when MA forging steels are applied in forging practice. Therefore, die lift could be a critical factor to determine whether HA forging steels could be widely applied in cold forging practice. In the present study, authors have investigated the forging characteristics of non-heat treated micro-alloyed steel by using a series of experimental and numerical analyses. Firstly, microstructural features and its effect on the deformation behavior have been studied. Numerical analysis has been done on the forging of guide rod pin to investigate for the optimization of forging process and die stress prediction.

The 9Cr-1Mo ferritic-martensitic ODS steel is a promising structural material for the next generation nuclear power plants including fast reactors for application in reactor vessels and nuclear fuel. The ODS steel was cooled down by furnace cooling, air cooling, oil quenching and water quenching, respectively, after normalizing it at $1150^{\circ}C$ for 1 h and then tempering at $780^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. It is found that grain size, a relative portion of ferrite and martensite, martensitic lath configuration, behaviors of carbide precipitates, and hardness of the ODS steel are strongly dependent on a cooling rate. The grain size and martensitic lath width become smaller with the increase in a cooling rate. The carbides were precipitated at the grain boundaries formed between the ferrite and martensite phases and at the martensitic lath interfaces. In addition, the carbide precipitates become smaller and more widely dispersed with the increase in a cooling rate, resulting in that the faster cooling rate generated the higher hardness of the ODS steel.

Recently, the fuel oil of diesel engines of marine ships has been increasingly changed to heavy oil of low quality as the oil price is getting higher and higher. Therefore, the spiral gear attached at the motor of the oil purifier which plays an important role to purify the heavy oil is also easy to expose at severe environmental condition due to the purification of the heavy oil in higher temperature. Thus, the material of the spiral gear requires a better mechanical strength, wear and corrosion resistance. In this study, the heat treatment(tempering) with various holding time at temperature of $500^{\circ}C$ was carried out to the alloy of Cu-7Al-2.5Si as centrifugal casting, and the properties of both hardness and corrosion resistance with and without heat treatment were investigated with observation of the microstructure and with electrochemical methods, such as measurement of corrosion potential, cathodic and anodic polarization curves, cyclic voltammogram, and a.c. impedance. in natural seawater solution. The ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}^{\prime}$ and ${\gamma}_2$ phases were observed in the material in spite of no heat treatment due to quenching effect of a spin mold. However, their phases, that is, ${\beta}^{\prime}$ and ${\gamma}_2$ phases decreased gradually with increasing the holding time at a constant temperature of $500^{\circ}C$. The hardness more or less decreased with heat treatment, however its corrosion resistance was improved with the heat treatment. Furthermore, the longer holding time, the better corrosion resistance. In addition, when the holding time was 48hrs, its corrosion current density showed the lowest value. The pattern of corroded surface was nearly similar to that of the pitting corrosion, and this morphology was greatly observed in the case of no heat treatment. It is considered that ${\gamma}_2$ phase at the grain boundary was corroded preferentially as an anode. However, the pattern of general corrosion exhibited increasingly due to decreasing the ${\gamma}_2$ phase with heat treatment. Consequently, it is suggested that the corrosion resistance of Cu-7Al-2.5Si alloy can be improved with the heat treatment as a holding time for 48 hrs at $500^{\circ}C$.

Nb, Ti 및 V를 0.15%씩 각각 첨가한 3종의 HSLA 주강을 오스테나이징 온도 및 템퍼링 시간을 변화시킨후 기계적 특성등을 관찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 오스테나이징 온도를 $1150^{\circ}C$로 하여 2시간 가열시킨 경우 첨가원소의 종류에 관계없이 경도가 가장 증가하였으며 $1100^{\circ}C$이하의 온도에서는 서서히 경도가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 오스테나이징 온도를 $1150^{\circ}C$로 하여 2시간 가열시킨 경우 Nb, Ti, V 첨가원소중에서 경도가 가장 높게 나타난 것은 Ti 첨가 HSLA 주강이며 오스테나이트 온도변화에 따라 경도차가 나는 주된 이유는 베나이트 조직의 상대적인 양과 고용강화에 주로 기인하였다. $1150^{\circ}C$에서 오스테나이징한 Ti 첨가 HSLA 주강의 경우를 제외하고는 대부분의 경우에 있어 C-Mn 주강을 대체 하기위한 최소 충격값이 2kg-m/$\textrm{cm}^2$이상의 충격치를 나타내었다. $1150^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 오스테나이징한 경우 첨가원소의 종류에 관계없이 10분정도 템퍼링에서 경도가 증가하여 V 첨가 HSLA 주강을 제외하고는 그이후는 템퍼링 시간이 증가함에 따라 일정하게 유지되는 경향을 나타내었다.

본 연구는 유압 피스톤 펌프 재료로 사용되고 있는 SACM645소재를 사용하여 모재, QT(quenching & tempering) 시험편 및 QT 질화시험편의 피로특성을 조사하였다. 피로특성 조사결과는 다음과 같다. QT 질화시험편은 피로한도가 인장강도의 80%로 나타나 아주 높은 값을 나타내었다. 이것은 시험편 표면에 단단한 질화처리를 실시하여 피로균열의 발생을 지연시켰고, 피로균열이 발생하더라고 소재가 단단하여 균열진전속도가 늦었다고 판단된다. 파면 관찰결과 피로균열진전 영역에서는 모두 스트라이에이션이 관찰되었고, 피로균열진전 이외의 영역에서 QT 시험편은 벽개파괴의 양상을, 모재와 Qt 질화시험편은 딤플 파괴의 양상을 나타내었다.

Two types of advanced cold-work tool steels were characterized and compared. A higher-alloyed ledeburitic steel with primary carbides (denoted as 9Cr) and a lower-alloyed steel without primary carbides (5Cr) were fabricated by vacuum induction melting and subsequent hot forging. They were spheroidizing-annealed at $870^{\circ}C$, quenched at $1030^{\circ}C$ and tempered at 180 or $520^{\circ}C$. Their machinability after annealing and hardness, impact toughness, wear resistance after tempering were compared and interpreted in association with their characteristic microstructures. After annealing, 5Cr showed higher resistance to machining due to higher ductility and toughness in spite of lower strength and smaller carbide volume. Owing to smaller carbide volume fraction and the absence of coarse primary carbides, 5Cr showed even better impact toughness although the hardness was lower. The improved toughness of 5Cr resulted in excellent wear resistance, while smaller volume fraction of retained austenite also contributed to it.

영산강유역이라는 지역적 연계성을 가진 영광 군동, 무안 인평고분군, 무안 구산리고분군, 함평 국산유적에서 출토된 유물 중 백제식 묘제인 횡혈식석실분 출현 이전으로 편년되는 철기유물 6점을 선정하여 미세조직을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 고대 영산강유역에서는 저온환원법에 의해 괴련철을 생산하는 기술이 주를 이루고 있었으며, 아울러 탄소를 제거시켜 강소재를 생산하는 기술체계가 이루어졌을 가능성도 확인되었다. 또한 강도를 필요로 하는 부위에만 담금질을 함으로써 높은 강도를 가짐과 동시에 담금질 조직이 가지는 취성을 담금질이 안된 부위에 분산시켜 철기가 깨지는 것을 방지하고 인성을 부여하는 기술이 이루어지고 있었다고 생각된다. 이러한 기술은 2세기대로 편년되는 영광 군동 출토 철부 미세구조에서 확인되고 있어 높은 기술체계를 가진 집단이 2세기 이전에 존재하고 있었고 5세기 말까지 이어졌을 가능성이 높다고 판단된다. 낮은 탄소함량의 괴련철로 철기를 제작하는 경우 성형-침탄-열처리-단타를 반복적으로 행하는 제작 공정이 이루어진 것으로 보인다.
