코발트기 주조용 초내열합금 X45를 이용하여 다양한 형태의 열처리에 따른 미세조직과 기계적 특성의 변화에 대하여 고찰한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 합금의 응고 시 결정립계와 수지상간 경계를 따라 Cr이 다량 함유된 조대한 $M_{23}C_6$ 탄화물과 W과 Co의 함량이 높은 $M_6C$ 탄화물이 형성되어 있었고, $1274^{\circ}C$에서 용체화 처리하면 대부분의 탄화물이 용해되었다. $1150^{\circ}C$에서의 용체화 처리 동안 일부 결정립계 탄화물이 용해되지만 공정탄화물 근처에서 새로운 탄화물의 석출이 일어났다. $927^{\circ}C$와 $982^{\circ}C$에서 시효처리만 했을 때 용체화 처리 후 시효처리 한 시편 보다 공정 탄화물 근처에서 석출되는 탄화물의 양이 많았고, 크기가 작았다. 2) $1150^{\circ}C$에서 용체화 처리한 후 시효처리 하면 경도의 증가가 뚜렷하지 않으며, $927^{\circ}C$와 $982^{\circ}C$에서 시효처리만 했을 때 다량의 매우 미세한 탄화물의 석출에 의하여 경도의 증가 폭이 더 컸다. 상온 항복강도는 $927^{\circ}C$에서 시효처리 했을 때 가장 컸지만 인장강도와 연신율은 $982^{\circ}C$에서 12시간 시효처리 했을 때 가장 컸다. 고온 크리프 특성은 $982^{\circ}C$에서 12시간 시효처리 했을 때 가장 우수하였다. 3) 장시간 고온 노출 되는 동안 탄화물의 석출과 성장이 일어났고, 8000시간 고온에서 노출시킨 시편에서는 수지상 중심부에도 탄화물이 석출되어 크리프 파단 수명이 증가하였다.

Conventional bake-hardenable(BH) steels should be annealed at higher temperatures because of the addition of Ti or/and Nb which forms carbides and raises recrystallization start temperature. In this study, the development of new BH steels without Ti or Nb addition has been reviewed. The new BH steels have nearly same mechanical properties as the conventional BH steels even though it is annealed at lower temperature. The steels also show smaller deviation of the mechanical properties than that of the conventional BH steels because of the conarol of solute carbon content during steel making processes. The deviation of mechanical properties in conventional BH steels is directly dependent on the deviation of solute carbon which is greatly influenced by the amount of the carbide formers in conventional BH steels. Less alloy addition in the newly developed BH steels gives economical benefits. By taking the advantage of sulfur and/or nitrogen which scarenge in Interstitial-Free or conventional BH steels, fine manganese sulfides or nano size copper sulfides were designed to precipitate, and result in refined ferrite grains. Aluminum nitrides used as a precipitation hardening element in the developed steels were also and resull in fine and well dispersed. As a result, the developed steels with less production cost and reduced deviation of mechanical properties are under commercial production. Note that the developed BH steels are registered as a brand name of MAFE(R) and/or MAF-E(R).

Hot ductility behavior of precipitation-hardened low-carbon iron alloys containing 0.02 wt% Ti and 0.05 wt% Nb was characterized by a hot tensile stress test. Carbon (0.05, 0.1, 0.25 wt%) and boron (0.002 wt%) contents were varied to study the effect of precipitates on the high-temperature embrittlement of the alloys in the temperature range of $600{\sim}800^{\circ}C$. Ductility loss was observed at $700^{\circ}C$ for the tested alloys. The cause of the ductility loss was mainly attributed to the carbides and ferrite films formed at the grain boundaries during deformation. Although the carbon content tended to raise the total fraction of Nb (C, N), the precipitates were formed mostly in the grain interior as the precipitation temperature was raised above the deformation temperature by the high carbon content. Hence, carbon in excess suppressed the hot ductility loss. Meanwhile, boron addition improved the hot ductility of the alloys. The improvement is likely due to the boron atoms capturing carbon atoms and thus retarding the carbide formation.

The secondary hardening and fracture behavior in P/M high speed steels bearing V content of 9 to 10 wt% have been investigated in terms of austenitizing temperature and precipitation behavior. Austenitizing was conducted at 1,100 and $1,175^{\circ}C$ of relatively low and high temperatures. Coarse primary carbides retained after austenitization were mainly V-rich MC type. They give a significant influence on hardeness and toughness, as well as wear resistance. Tempering was performed in the range of $500{\sim}600^{\circ}C$. The peak hardness resulting from the precipitation of the fine MC secondary carbides was observed near 520, irrespective of austenitizing temperature. Aging acceleration(or deceleration) did not occur with increasing austenitizing temperature because it mainly influences contents of V and C of matrix through the dissloution of coarse primary MC containing lots of V and C. The precipitation of secondary MC carbides, which also contain V and C, did not change the aging kinetics itself. In the 10V alloy containing much higher C content, the impact toughness was lower than 9V alloy, because of the larger amount of primary carbide and high hardness.

니켈기 주조용 합금 738LC를 816$^{\circ}C$와 982$^{\circ}C$에서 크리프 파단 시험과 열간 노출시험을 통해 온도와 응력 변화에 따른 파단양상, 탄화물과 $\sigma$상의 석출 거동에 대해 조사하였다. 816$^{\circ}C$/440MPa에서는 크리프 파단양상이 전단변형에 의한 입내파괴를 나타내었으나, 982$^{\circ}C$/152MPa에서는 표면과 접하는 결정입계에서 입계산화에 의해 표면에너지의 감소로 균열이 나타나 진행되는 입계파괴가 나타났다. M(sub)23C(sub)6 탄화물이 816$^{\circ}C$에서는 주로 결정입계에서와 전단변형에 의한 입내균열을 따라 석출하였으나, 982$^{\circ}C$에서는 결정입계 뿐만 아니라 입내에서는 석출하였으며 석출양은 증가하였다. $\sigma$상은 Cr(sub)23C(sub)6 탄화물에서 핵생성 후 기지로 성장하며, 온도가 높고 응력이 주어지면 Cr(sub)23C(sub)6 탄화물의 양이 증가하여 $\sigma$상의 석출도 많아졌다.

The maximum width of HAZ of SA508치.3 steel produced by overlay RPV cladding was approximately 10 mm and it was composed of variety of microstructures with various grain size and precipitates. In addition, along the weld fusion line there formed a heavy carbide precipitation zone in the width of $20{\sim}30\;{\mu}m$. 2. As the specimen sampling position approached to the weld fusion line, the increase in yield and tensile strength was approximately 90 and 40 MPa, respectively. Meanwhile, the plastic fracture strain reduced from 14 to 8 percent. 3. The lowest SP energy and the highest ductile to brittle transition temperature in the HAZ were observed at the coarse- and fine-grained HAZ.

Microstructural features and their related mechanical property changes in the 309L cladding and the heat affected zone (HAZ) of SA508 cl.3 steel were investigated through the use of TEM, tensile and small punch (SP) tests. The specimens were irradiated at 563 K up to the neutron fluences of $5.79{\times}10^{19}n/cm^2$ (>1MeV). The microstructure of the clad was mainly composed of a fcc ${\gamma}-phase$, a low percentage of bcc ${\delta}-ferrite$, and a brittle ${\sigma}-phase$. Along the weld fusion line there formed a heavy carbide precipitation with a width of $20{\sim}40{\mu}m$, showing preferential cracking during plastic deformation. The yield stress and ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) of the irradiated clads increased. The origin of the hardening and the shift of the DBTT are discussed in terms of the irradiation-produced defect clusters of a fine size and brittle ${\sigma}-phase$.

The destructive method is reliable and widely used for the estimation of material degradation but, it have time-consuming and a great difficulty in preparing specimens from in-service industrial facilities. Therefore, the estimation of degraded structural materials by nondestructive evaluation is strongly desired. In this paper, the use of guided wave was suggested for the evaluation of thermally damaged 2.25 Cr-lMo steel as an alternative way to compensate for limitations of fracture tests. The observation of microstructure variations of the material including carbide precipitation increase and spheroidization near grain boundary was conducted and the correlation with the guided wave features such as energy loss ratio and group velocity changes was investigated. Through this study, the feasibility of ultrasonic guided wave evaluation for thermally damaged materials was explored.

This study was carried out in the austempering temperature and time after Ni, Mo addition in purpose of modification of impact toughness of austempered ductile irons. Addition of alloy element and austempering treatment of $900^{\circ}C$ 60 minutes followed by $300^{\circ}C$, $350^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$ for 60 minutes, in this case impact value was increased by ideal mixed structure. But impact value was decreased when holing time is 120minutes, this is attributed to segregation and carbide precipitation from high carbon austenite. Highest impact value was obtained by $350^{\circ}C$ (Mo-addition) and $400^{\circ}C$ (Ni-addition). This phenomena was caused by presence of remained austenite. At all austempering temperature,, Ni-added specimen showed higher impact values than that of Mo-added specimen. And hardness property was affected by austempering temperature and holding time rather than amounts of alloying element.

Hot gas path components, which are made of nickel based superalloys, are subject to periodic replacement due to degradation of thermomechanical properties that might bring catastrophic failure during normal operation of gas turbine units. In order to rejuvenate the metallurgical condition of the serviced components, heat treating techniques such as solution annealing and aging heat treatments have widely been employed. However, the effectiveness of those typical heat treatments is not apparent enough in terms of quantitative grounds. On the other hand the demand of the rejuvenation heat treatment and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) have constantly been raised by the end users. Therefore it is necessary to verify how the typical heat treating techniques affect to the aged and degraded material. As the result of experimental work in this study, GTD-111 and GTD-222 Ni-based superalloys were collected and analyzed quantitatively through microscopic observation, microhardness evaluation and creep test.
