In the 1.1 Mn steel containing boron, effects of the 0.1 V addition and processing condition were studied. In the $550^{\circ}C$ interrupted cooling where the main structure is (ferrite + pearlite), the impact toughness decreased as the tensile strength increased by the 0.1 V addition. The $800^{\circ}C$ rolling including two step rolling of $800-770^{\circ}C$, exhibited better strength-toughness balance, as compared to the $770^{\circ}C$ rolling. This seems to be kind of conditioning effect at higher temperature, e.g., more uniform deformation effect. In the accelerated cooling after the $750^{\circ}C$ rolling in a dual phase range, the impact toughness was enhanced, despite a large increase in tensile strength. This is believed to be related to the change of main structure from (ferrite + pearlite) to (ferrite + bainite).

0.07%C-0.014%Ti-0.015Nb-0.005%B강 (강종 B)을 각각 TMCP처리하여 그 기계적 특성과 B의 거동을 조사하였다. Ta-B강이 Ti-Nb-B강보다 인장강도는 더 우수하였으나 충격 흡수에너지는 훨씬 더 낮았다. Ta-B강의 강도가 Ti-Nb-B강보다 더 우수한 이유는 Ta-B강에서의 Ta의 석출강화 효과가 Ti-Nb-B강에서의 Ti와 Nb의 석출강화 효과보다 더 크기 때문으로 생각된다. Ta-B강은 입내파괴, Ti-Nb-B강은 임계파괴의 파괴양상을 보여이며, Ti-Nb-B강이 Ta-B 강보다 더 큰 충격 흡수에너지를 나타내었다. TMCP에서는 항온변태시의 평형석출과는 달리 연속냉각방법을 사용하였기 때문에 B가 결정립계에 평형적 또는 비평형적으로 편석되어 준안정상으로 생각되는 연속적인 필름 형태의 붕화물을 형성한다. 또한, 냉각속도의 차이에 따라 석출물은 결정질이 되거자 비정질이 되었다. B의 함량이 많은 Ti-Nb-B강에서는 석출물이 비정질상이었다. 한편, B함량이 적은 Ta-B강에서는 B강에서는 결정립계에서 B가 관찰되지 않아는데, 이것은 결정립계에서의 B의 석출이 B의 함량에 매우 민감함을 의미하는 것이다.

This study examined the effect of the heat treatment and alloying elements (B, Ti) on the microstructures and mechanical properties of API J55 steel. The experiments were carried out using various austenization temperatures ($880^{\circ}C$, $910^{\circ}C$, $940^{\circ}C$), cooling methods (water quenching, oil quenching) and tempering temperatures (none, $550^{\circ}C$, $650^{\circ}C$) with J55 and J55+B,Ti steels. The phase diagram and CCT curve were simulated based on the chemical compositions of the J55 and J55+B,Ti steels to predict the microstructures. The results showed that the A1 and A3 temperatures decreased and, as a result, the noses of the ferrite and bainite parts of the CCT curve moved to the right. Various microstructures were formed, namely martensite, bainite, ferrite and pearlite, in accordance with the heat treatment, which had an effect on the hardness, tensile strength and toughness. Martensite was formed after water quenching, but bainite and ferrite appeared after oil quenching with the J55 specimens. On the other hand, martensite was formed, regardless of the cooling method (water quenching, oil quenching), with the J55+B,Ti specimens, because of the improvement of the hardenability caused by the addition of boron. Therefore, the J55+B,Ti specimens exhibited much higher mechanical properties than the J55 specimens, even after the tempering treatment, since the addition of Ti caused fine precipitates to be formed, which inhibited grain growth at the recrystallization temperature.

A Siemens SemiQuant (SSQ) 3000 program, a precalibrated 'standardless' analytical program handling up to 90 elements, was evaluated for the fast analysis of various types of reference materials using a wavelength dispersive X-ray spectrometer. Various types of standard reference materials such as metal discs, metal chips, and geological materials in powder form were analysed and it took 23 minutes of measuring time for 75 elements. Measurements of geological reference materials using different sampling methods were carried out and their data were interactively evaluated. The analysis of materials of a known matrix concentration such as stainless steels provided higher precision value compared to totally unknown samples. The analyses of materials prepared as pressed pellets or fused glass beads provided higher precision values compared to the measurement of loose powders with a foil on the sample surface and helium operation, though their sampling procedures were more complicate and took more time. Since very light elements such as boron, carbon, and oxygen have a strong influence on the matrix effects and also on the calculation of effective matrix corrections, the rhodium Compton check was applied to verify the reliability of the defined light element concentrations of light matrix materials and the defined major sample compounds. Failure of defining correct matrix resulted in an unoptimized matrix correction and therefore in the wrong calculation of the element concentration.
