Alloy 713LC was developed to improve the tensile strength and ductility by reducing the carbon content of Alloy 713C. As Alloy 713LC was designed to minimize the mechanical property change with process conditions, it is generally utilized in the parts which have thick and thin sections simultaneously. In the thick and the thin sections, quite different properties are required. Consequently it is essential to crucially control the local mechanical properties of a parts by optimizing the process condition and heat treatment. In this research, high temperature mechanical properties including creep-rupture and strain-control low cycle fatigue were investigated together with the microstructural variations with heat treatment. Failure mechanism was also analyzed by observing the fracture surface to correlate the variation of mechanical properties with the microstructural change.

화학적 열화를 빠르게 유도할 수 있는 단파장의 자외선(254 nm)을 고밀도 폴리에틸렌의 표면에 조사하여, 생성된 carbonyl band의 변화로부터 기계적 물성 변화를 예측할 수 있는 지에 대한 가능성을 연구하였다. 오랜 시간이 요구되는 자연 태양광에 의한 옥외폭로시험이나, 제논-아크 광원에 의한 광 열화 대신에 광양자 에너지가 높은 UVC 램프를 사용함으로써, 유도되는 광열화의 화학적 특성이 동일한 기계적 물성 변화를 유발하는지를 확인하는 것에 본 연구의 의미가 있다. 인장시험과 크리프-파괴시험으로 진행된 고밀도 폴리에틸렌의 기계적 강도는 CI 변화에 유사한 양상을 보였으며, 특히 항복강도와 신장률은 자외선 노출시간과 밀접한 관계가 있음을 보여주었다. 따라서 빠른 표면 열화를 유발하는 UVC 램프를 활용한 카르보닐 지수와 기계적 물성 변화의 관계를 통하여 장시간이 요구되는 옥외에서의 기계적 물성변화를 보다 빠르게 파악할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다.

Recently the growth of the renewable energy production has caused the flexible operation in LNG combined cycle power plant. Due to the rapid start and stop operations, large CrMoV castings used for turbine casings and valve bodies could be distorted and lead to replacement or welding repair. This study was performed to find out the characteristics of the repair welding for a damaged CrMoV casting steel. A typical field repair method (arc & TIG welding) was applied to making specimens. The degraded N2 packing head sample from the steam turbine was used. The evaluations of weldments were carried out in terms of microstructural characterization, microhardness measurements, tensile, creep-rupture and fatigue tests. Color etching was also applied for better understanding of welding microstructures. As the boundary between HAZ and base material was deteriorated by welding, it caused microstructural changes formed during PWHT and the shortening of the remaining residual life. By comparing the properties according to repair welding method, it was possible to derive what important welding factors were. As a result, arc welding method is more suitable for repair welding on CrMoV castings.

$1,000^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 수천~수만 rpm으로 작동하는 가스터빈 부품의 수명을 예측하기 위하여 크립파단 실험으로 얻어진 Larson-Miller 크립곡선을 활용하고 있다. 이 방법은 고온에서 시편에 하중을 주어 파단수명을 구하여 크립 파단수명을 온도와 하중의 함수로 나타낸 실험결과 곡선이다. 파손적 실험으로서 오차가 수십배를 상회하여 수명예측이 정확하지 않다. 반면에 본 연구에서는 비 파손적일 뿐 아니라 더 정확한 수명예측이 가능한 방법을 소개하고자 한다. 즉, $1,280^{\circ}C$에서 22,000시간(6,000 기동) 사용되어 폐기된 보령 가스터빈 제1단 단결정 블레이드(버켓)에 국부적으로 polishing한 후, 부식시킨 다음 replica를 떤다. 이 replica에 붙은 석출물들은 TEM과 SEM 사진으로 구하여 디지털 이미지하여 크기가 측정된다. 블레이드가 사용 전에 $0.45{\mu}m$ 크기에서 사용 후, $0.6{\mu}m$로 성장하였으나, 추가적으로 약 만여 시간 더 사용할 수 있으며 열처리를 추가하면 이만여 시간 더 사용할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

A Study on microstructure and elevated temperature strength of 18Cr-2Mo ferritic stainless steel castings strengthened by alloying small amounts of titanium and carbon, has been conducted. The morphology of titanium carbides showed spherical in shape and their distribution depended on the amount of alloying elements. Maximum density ($7{\times}10^5/cm^2$) of titanium carbides has been formed in the alloy containing 2.0 wt.% titanium and 0.5 wt.% carbon as alloying elements and the size of carbide particles is in the range of 0.5 to $3.0\;{\mu}m$. High temperature tensile and fatigue strength of this alloy were the highest among the alloys tested in this research. The fracture mode of the alloys containing alloying elements less that 2.0 wt.% titanium and 0.5 wt.% carbon showed intercrystalline fracture at room temperature, while the alloys containing higher amounts of alloying elements showed transcrystalline fracture. All of the alloys showed creep or ductile rupture mode at elevated temperature.

A computer-aided alloy-designing technique to develop the insert metal for transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding was applied to high aluminum Ni-base superalloys. The main procedure of a mathematical programming method was to obtain the optimal chemical composition through rationally compromising the plural objective performances of insert metal by a grid-search which involved data estimation from the limited experimental data using interpolation method. The objective function Z which was introduced as an index of bonding performance of insert metal involved the melting point, hardness (strength), formability of brittle phases and void ratio (bonding defects) in bond layer as the evaluating factors. The contour maps of objective function Z were also obtained applying the interpolation method. The compositions of Ni-3.0%Cr-4.0%B-0.5%Ce (for ${\gamma}$/${\gamma}$/${\beta}$ type alloy) and Ni3.5%Cr-3.5%B-3%Ti (for ${\gamma}$/${\gamma}$ type alloy) which optimized the objective function were determined as insert metal. SEM observations revealed that the microstructure in bond layers using the newly developed insert metals indicated quite sound morphologies without forming microconstituents and voids. The creep rupture properties of both joints were much improved compared to a commercial insert metal of MBF-80 (Ni-15.5%Cr-3.7%B), and were fairly comparable to those of base metals.

Hard and brittle materials, such as Ni- and Ti-based alloys, glass, and ceramics, are very useful in aerospace, marine, electronics, and high-temperature applications because of their extremely versatile mechanical and chemical properties. One Ni-based alloy, Inconel 718, is a precipitation-hardenable material designed with exceptionally high yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elastic modulus, and corrosion resistance with outstanding weldability and excellent creep-rupture properties at moderately high temperatures. However, conventional machining of this alloy presents a challenge to industry. Ultrasonic vibration cutting (UVC) has recently been used to cut this difficult-to-machine material and obtain a high quality surface finish. This paper describes an experimental study of the UVC parameters for Inconel 718, including the cutting force components, tool wear, chip formation, and surface roughness over a range of cutting conditions. A comparison was also made between conventional turning (CT) and UVC using scanning electron microscopy observations of tool wear. The tool wear measured during UVC at low cutting speeds was lower than CT. UVC resulted in better surface finishes compared to CT under the same cutting conditions. Therefore, UVC performed better than CT at low cutting speeds for all measures compared.

By examining the fatigue deformation properties of 12% Cr rotor steel which has been proved to have high fatigue and creep rupture strength around 600deg. C, authors reviewed major fatigue life prediction models such as Manson, Langer and Morrow equations, and following results were obtained. (1) A simple life prediction model for 12% Cr rotor steel was obtained as follows : DELTA..epsilon.$_{t}$ =2.18+.sigma.$_{u}$ /E+ $N^{-0.065}$+ $e^{0.6}$ $N^{-0.025}$ This equation shows that fatigue life, N, can be easily determined when total strain range, DELTA..epsilon.$_{t}$ and ultimate tensile strength, .sigma.$_{u}$ are known by simple tension test on the given test conditions. (2) Life prediction equation with equivalent maximum stress, DELTA..sigma./2, corresponding maximum strain in one cycle at room temperature is as follows: DELTA..sigma./w=-7.01logN+96.69+96.69

The indigenous nuclear power program of India is based mainly on a series of Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs). A burst correlation for Indian PHWR fuel claddings has been developed and empirical burst parameters are determined. The burst correlation is developed from data available in literature for single-rod transient burst tests performed on Indian PHWR claddings in inert environment. The heating rate and internal overpressure were in the range of 7 K/s-73 K/s and 3 bar-80 bar, respectively, during the burst tests. A burst criterion for inert environment, which assumes that deformation is controlled by steady state creep, has been developed using the empirical burst parameters. The burst criterion has been validated with experimental data reported in literature and the prediction of burst parameters is in a fairly good agreement with the experimental data. The burst criterion model reveals that increasing the heating rate increases the burst temperature. However, at higher heating rates, burst strain is decreased considerably and an early rupture of the claddings without undergoing considerable ballooning is observed. It is also found that the degree of anisotropy has significant influence on the burst temperature and burst strain. With increasing degree of anisotropy, the burst temperature for claddings increases but there is a decrease in the burst strain. The effect of anisotropy in the ${\alpha}$-phase is carried over to ${\alpha}+{\beta}$-phase and its effect on the burst strain in the ${\alpha}+{\beta}$-phase too can be observed.

In order to compliant the stringent exhaust emission regulations, higher fuel efficiency and cleaner exhaust gas in combustion engines have been required. To improve combustion efficiency, an exhaust gas temperature is increasing, therefore higher temperature resistance is required for components in exhaust system, especially turbine wheel in turbocharger. IN100 looks quite attractive candidate as it has high temperature properties with low density, however it has low castability due to poor ductility at high temperature. In this study, the balance of Al and Ti composition was optimized from the base alloy IN100 to improve the high temperature ductility by expanding the γ single phase region below the solidification temperature, while obtaining the high temperature strength by maintaining the volume fraction of γ' phase equivalent to IN100 around 1000℃. Furthermore, the high temperature creep rupture life increased by adding a small amount of Ta. The alloy developed in this study has high castability, low density and high specific strength at high temperature.
