초저온 구조 재료로 극저온에서 기계적 특성이 우수한 300계열의 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강이 널리 사용되어진다. 이 중에서도 오스테나이트의 안전성 향상을 위해 몰리브덴을 첨가한 316강이나 용접 중에 입계 석출을 줄이기 위해 탄소의 함유율을 감소시킨 316L강, 그리고 질소를 첨가시켜 강도와 오스테나이트를 동시에 향상시킨 316LN강이 대표적으로 많이 사용된다. 하지만 초저온 재료들의 용접조건 및 온도변화에 대한 기계적 특성 연구가 미진한 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 초저온 구조물에서 많이 사용되어지는 304강의 용접조건 및 온도변화에 대한 기계적 특성을 연구하였다.

The effects of Y and Ti on the microstructure stability and tensile properties of the reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steel have been investigated. The addition of Y and Ti affected the prior austenite grain size due to the pinning of the inclusions. Ti addition of 0.008 wt% to the steel was intended to promote the precipitation of nano-sized carbides with a high resistance to coarsening. 8Ti14Y exhibited a higher yield strength and a lower DBTT than the other alloys due to the fine grain size and additional precipitation hardening by (Ti, Ta)-rich MX. After thermal exposure at $550^{\circ}C$ for 1500 h, yield strength was dropped significantly in exposed 0Ti13Y. On the contrary, a lower reduction of YS was observed in 8Ti14Y. The $M_{23}C_6$ in 0Ti13Y and 8Ti14Y and MX in 25Ti14Y and 39Ti15Y coarsened seriously during ageing, which could be responsible for the reduction of the tensile properties of alloys.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of grain size on the damping capacity of the Fe-26Mn-4Co-2Al damping alloy. ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ and ${\varepsilon}-martensite$ were formed by cold working, and these martensites were formed with a specific direction and surface relief. With an increase in grain size, the volume fraction of ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ and ${\varepsilon}-martensite$ increased by decrement the austenite phase stability. This volume fraction more rapidly increased in cold-rolled specimen than in the specimen that was not cold-rolled. The damping capacity also increased more with the augmentation an increased grain size and more rapidly increased in cold-rolled specimen than in the specimen that was not cold rolled. The effect of grain size on the damping capacity was larger in the cold-rolled specimen than the specimen that was not cold-rolled. Damping capacity linearly increased with an increase in volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}-martensite$. Thus, the damping capacity was affected by the ${\varepsilon}-martensite$.

In this study, a microstructural investigation was conducted on the cracking phenonmenon occurring during hot rolling of Fe-23Mn high-manganese steels with different aluminium and carbon contents. Particular emphasis was placed on the phase stability of austenite and ferrite dependent on the chemical composition. An increase in the aluminum content promoted the formation of ferrite band structures which were easily deformed or cracked. In the steels containing high carbon contents of 0.4 wt.% or higher, on the other hand, the volume fraction and thickness of ferrite bands decreased and thus the cracking frequency was significantly reduced. Based on these findings, it is said that the microstructural evolution occurring during hot rolling of high-manganese steels with different aluminium and carbon contents plays an important role in the cracking phenomenon. To prevent the cracking, therefore, the formation of second phases such as ferrite should be minimized during the hot rolling by the appropriate control of the chemical composition and process parameters

In this study, newly developed welding consumables for EGW were welded in EH 36 TM steel plates and their welded joints were evaluated in point of mechanical properties and microstructures compared with imported consumables. Newly developed welding consumables were evaluated as good arc stability and slag fluidity, substantially the same with imported products. The tensile strength of all welded joints were sufficient to meet the requirements specified in a ship’s classification(490~640MPa) and all areas of fracture were heat affected zone(HAZ). Charpy absorbed energy values of all EG welded metals were sufficient to meet the requirements of classification(min. 34J) and those of newly developed wires were evaluated to be better than those of imported wires. As a result observing microstructures of single and tandem EG welded metals through optical and scanning electron microscope (OM&SEM), no grain boundary ferrite(PF(G)) were created in a prior austenite grain boundary and a volume fraction of a fine acicular ferrite were observed very high.

The formation processes of the retained austenite(${\gamma}_R$) in SHCP100 steel sheets were investigated in order to improve the transformation induced plasticity(TRIP) effect of ${\gamma}_R$. An excellent combination of elongation about 23% and high strength over 830 MPa was achieved by processing of intercritical annealing and isothermal holding. The mechanical properties of TRIP-aided dual phase steel was found to depend on the volume ratio of each phase and the volume fraction of ${\gamma}_R$. It was also noted that the proper mechanical stability of ${\gamma}_R$ improved the mechanical properties. In this work, the best balance of strength-ductility was obtained by holding the steel at $420^{\circ}C$ for 500sec. after annealing at $730^{\circ}C$ for 300 sec.

The effects of Si content on the variation of microstructure and processing window of austempered ductile cast iron were investigated. Four different Si contents between 2.42 and 3.37 wt.% were used. The influence of silicon on the microstructure and processing window of these materials were studied. Austenitizing was performed at $900^{\circ}C$ for 60min and austempering temperature were both $340^{\circ}C$ and $360^{\circ}C$ and austempering time were for 4min upto 119min and for 5min upto 160min respectively. After heat treatment, the evolution of stage I and stage II were performed by optical metallography, XRD, hardness test. The results showed that $t_2$ was delayed as Si contents was increased due to the fact that Si retarded the formation of cementite ($Fe_3C$). The high silicon content promoted the stability of the metastable two-phase combination of austenite and ausferrite.

Duplex stainless steels with nearly equal fraction of the ferrite(${\alpha}$) phase and austenite(${\gamma}$) phase have been increasingly used for various applications such as power plants, desalination facilities due to their high resistance to corrosion, good weldability, and excellent mechanical properties. Hyper duplex stainless steel (HDSS) is defined as the future duplex stainless steel with a pitting resistance equivalent (PRE=wt.%Cr+3.3(wt.%Mo+0.5wt.%W)+30wt.%N) of above 50. However, when HDSS is welded with gas tungsten arc (GTA), incorporation of nitrogen in the Ar shielding gas are very important because the volume fraction of ${\alpha}$-phase and ${\gamma}$-phase is changed and harmful secondary phases can be formed in the welded zone. In other words, the balance of corrosion resistance between two phases and reduction of $Cr_2N$ are the key points of this study. The primary results of this study are as follows. The addition of $N_2$ to the Ar shielding gas provides phase balance under weld-cooling conditions and increases the transformation temperature of the ${\alpha}$-phase to ${\gamma}$-phase, increasing the fraction of ${\gamma}$-phase as well as decreasing the precipitation of $Cr_2N$. In the anodic polarization test, the addition of nitrogen gas in the Ar shielding gas improved values of the electrochemical parameters, compared to the Pure Ar. Also, in the erosion-corrosion test, the HDSS welded with shielding gas containing $N_2$ decreased the weight loss, compared to HDSS welded with the Ar pure gas. This result showed the resistance of erosion-corrosion was increased due to increasing the fraction of ${\gamma}$-phase and the stability of passive film according to the addition $N_2$ gas to the Ar shielding gas. As a result, the addition of nitrogen gas to the shielding gas improved the resistance of erosion-corrosion.

본 연구에서는 LNG 저장탱크의 안전성을 확보하기 위한 연구의 일환으로서, 실제 탱크의 건설에서와 같은 조건으로 SMAW(Shielded Metal Arc Welding) 방식으로 용접된 $9\%$ Ni강의 X-개선 후판용접부내의 파괴인성의 변화를 평가하고 미세조직을 분석하였다. 이때 파괴인성의 평가는 본 연구자들이 제안한 '개선한 CTOD(crack tip opening displacement) 시험법'으로 행하였으며 열영향부내의 미세조직 및 파면은 광학현미경, 주사전자현미경 및 X-선 회절 분석기로 관찰하였다. 결과로부터 열영향부 내의 CTOD 값은, 평가위치가 용융선(Fusion Line-F.L.)으로 접근할수록 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이는 잔류 오스테나이트의 양이 줄어들고 결정립 미세화 효과가 없어지는 영역인 결정립 조대화영역이 열영향 부내에서 차지하는 분율이 증가함에 따른 것이다. 한편, 잔류 오스테나이트의 열적 안정성이 상대적으로 감소하게 되는 F.L.${\~}$F.L.+3mm에서 온도감소에 따른 인성감소의 정도가 F.L.+5mm${\~}$F.L.+7mm보다 상대적으로 매우 큼을 알 수 있었다.
