In general, structural integrity of rolling stock structures should last more than 25 years. During the lifetime corrosive degradation occurs. For structural design and diagnosis, quantitative relationship between corrosive degradation and variation of mechanical properties such as tensile strength and fatigue strength is needed. In this study, first of all we established the atmospheric corrosion test procedure. At regular intervals using specimens of SM490A and SS400 on the atmospheric corrosion test bed, we carried out tensile and fatigue tests. The fatigue strength decreases as the atmospheric corrosion period increases. In addition we studied the effect of post-weld heat treatment on the tensile and fatigue behaviour and performed electrochemical corrosion tests.

For structural design and diagnosis, quantitative relationship between corrosive degradation and variation of mechanical properties such as tensile strength and fatigue strength is needed. But it is difficult to find data associated with corrosive degradation of structural structures. In this study, first of all we established the atmospheric corrosion test procedure. And using specimens of SM490A and SS400 on the atmospheric corrosion test bed, we carried out tensile and fatigue tests at regular intervals. And we studied the effect of post-weld heat treatment on the tensile and fatigue behaviour. It is found fatigue strength decreases as the atmospheric corrosion period increases.

실제로 용접구조물의 재료에는 항상 내부 잔류응력이 존재하며 그 크기는 재료내의 내부 잔류응력간의 평형의 원리(Self-equilibrating system)에 의해 결정 된다. 일반적인 구조 강도설계에서 행해지는 탄성해석에서는 재료 내부에 존재하는 잔류응력을 고려하지 않기 때문에 설계시에 계산된 응력이 심하중하의 구조물에서 발생하는 응력과 같다고 볼 수는 없다. 철강재료를 사용한 구조물의 경우 구조물 제작 공정 전반에 걸친 성형가공 및 조립과정에 수반되어 재료 내에는 잔류응력이 발생되며 특히 용접조립에 의해 용접부 근방에서는 재료의 항복강도 수준의 상당히 큰 용접응력 이 발생하게 된다. 일반적으로 용접잔류응력의 완화법으로 가장 확실한 방법은 후열 처리법(Post weld heat treatment, PWHT)이지만 이 방법의 적용은 구조물의 크기에 제한을 받게 된다. 따라서 PWHT를 적용하기 어려운 구조물에 대해서는 다른 방법에 의해 용접잔류 응력을 완화시켜야 하며 이 경우에 일반적인 방법으로 기계적 응력완화 법(Mechanical stress relief method, MSR)이 있다. 본고에서는 MSR의 기본원리에 대하여 간단하게 정리하고 실 구조물에 대한 MSR 적용시 고려해야 할 제반사항을 위하여 단순 용접부에 대한 MSR 적용 실험결과와 실제 압력용기를 대상으로 MSR을 자체 제작된 기술절차서에 따라서 시행하고 MSR의 적용성에 대해서 검토하였다.

고온고압장치(High Temperature and Pressure Vessels)의 적용을 위한 기초연구로서 9Cr-1Mo강 용접부의 연화특성에 대하여 검토하였다. 9Cr-1Mo 강재에 Bead-on-Plate용접을 실시한 후, 용접부의 기계적 성질과 그 현미경조직관찰 및 미세경도를 측정한 결과, As-Welded 및 용접 후열처리(PWHT)등의 조건에 관계없이 용접열향부의 변태역과 템퍼링역의 경계에서 모재의 경 도보다 낮은 경도값(연화역)을 나타내었으며 이러한 원인은 결정립계(Grain boundary)에 석출 되는 탄화물의 형성에 의한 뜨임 현상임이 판명되었다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the AE characteristics for the basemetal, PWHT (post-weld heat treatment) and weldment specimens of SA-516 steel during fracture testing. Four-point bending and AE tests were conducted simultaneously. AE signals were emitted in the process of plastic deformation. AE signal strength and amplitude of the weldment was the strongest, followed by PWHT specimen and basemetal. More AE signals were emitted from the weldment samples because of the oxides, and discontinuous mechanical properties. AE signal strength and amplitude for the basemetal or PWHT specimen decreased remarkably compared to the weldment because of lower strength. Pre-cracked specimens emitted even lower event counts than the corresponding blunt notched specimens. Dimple fracture from void coalescence mechanism is associated with low-level AE signal strength for the basemetal or PWHT. Tearing mode and dimple formation were shown on the fracture surfaces of the weldment, but only a small fraction produced detectable AE.

조사전 및 감시시험시 용접열영향부(heat affected zone, HAZ)의 인성평가를 위해 제작되는 샤피(Charpy) 충격시험편의 노치(notch) 위치에 대하여 현재의 규정에 대한 타당성을 검토하였다. 적용규정은 HAZ 시험편의 노치위치를 용접용융선(fusion line, FL) ＋ 모재측 0.8 mm 로 제한하고 있다. 그러나, 본 연구결과, 이 부위는 다층(multipass) 용접시 후속열이력에 의해 결정립이 미세화되어, 인장강도와 경도 및 충격인성이 모재나 용접부에 비하여 양호하게 나타났다. 한편, FL ＋ 4 mm 이상의 다른 위치에서는 강도와 경도 및 충격인성이 모두 모재와 용접부에 비하여 낮은 값을 보였다. 이는 다층용접에 의한 후속열이력 및 용접후열처리(post weld heat treatment, PWHT)에 의해 금속조직학적 영향을 받은 것으로 판단되었다. 일련의 시험결과로부터, 조 사전 및 감시시험용 샤피충격시험편의 HAZ 에 있어서의 노치위치에 대한 현재의 규정을 재검토할 필요가 있음을 제안하였다.

Reduction of welding residual stress is very important in the railway industry, but calculating its distribution in structures is difficult because welding residual stress formation is influenced by various parameters. In this study, we developed a finite element model for simulating the repair welding process to recover a surface damaged rail, and conducted a series of parametric studies while varying the cooling rate and the duration of post weld heat treatment (PWHT) to find the best conditions for reducing welding residual stress level. This paper presents a three-dimensional model of the repair welding process considering the phase transformation effect implemented by the ABAQUS user subroutine, and the results of parametric studies with various cooling rates and PWHT durations. We found that heat treatment significantly reduced the residual stress on the upper rail by about 170 MPa.

Welding is the most commonly used method to produce bogie and carbody of Electrical Multiple Units(EMU), because it increases the strength and lowers the weight of EMU. Since bogies are constantly exposed to repeated reacting load during acceleration and deceleration, it is also true that crack normally occurs at welding parts. In this study, we have investigated the fatigue strength of SS400 on welded parts in order to find efficiency of treatment after welding by shot peening and Post-Weld heat treatment(PWHT) with butt welded specimens. The results of fatigue test indicate that the measurement of base material specimen is 236MPa, welded specimen is 132MPa and the specimen of PWHT is 107MPa approximately. We concluded that the measurement of welded specimen and PWHT is approximately 44 and 54 percents lower than the base material specimen, respectively. Another finding is that the peened specimen is approximately 23 and 61 percents higher than the base material specimen in terms of the fatigue in strength of specimens.

Friction welding is a common practice to join axially symmetrical parts for automobile industry applications. The shaft for automobile reverse idle gear is generally produced by forging steel, SF 45. This method is not so good because of high cost of material and production. In this study, in order to investigate the possibility of application of SM 45C to SF 45 dissimilar friction welding, the dissimilar friction welded joints were performed using 20 mm diameter solid bar in forging steel(SF 45) to carbon steel(SM 45C). The optimal friction welding parameters were selected to ensure reliable quality welds on the basis of visual examination, tensile test, micro-Virkers hardness surveys of the bond of area and optical microstructure investigations for welded joint parts. Finally, post weld heat treatment(PWHT) of the high-frequency induction hardening was performed for the friction welded specimens under the optimal welding conditions. And then, the mechanical properties were compared for as-welded and PWHT in SM 45C to SF 45.
