Abstract

In a nuclear power plant, fretting wear due to impact motion between U-tubes and support structures located in steam generators can cause serious problems. In order to guarantee the reliability of the steam generator, the damage due to fretting wear should be thoroughly investigated. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the fretting wear mechanism qualitatively and quantitatively. Hence, fretting wear simulation is performed for the environments to which the actual steam generators in nuclear power plants are exposed. Initial experimental results are obtained for various experimental parameters, and the effect of the work rate and temperature on fretting wear is evaluated. In water, the wear coefficients for $90^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, and $340^{\circ}C$ are found to be $9.051{\times}10^{-16}\;Pa^{-1}$, $3.009{\times}10^{-15}\;Pa^{-1}$, and $2.235{\times}10^{-15}\;Pa^{-1}$, respectively. It is also found that the wear coefficient at room temperature is larger than that at low temperature in water because of the dynamic viscosity of water.

증기 발생기 내부의 U-tube와 지지 구조간의 충격에 의하여 발생하는 프레팅 마모는 원자력 발전소 안전성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 증기발생기의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위하여 이러한 프레팅 마모 현상을 평가하는 것이 필요하며, 본 연구는 프레팅 마모현상을 정성적, 정량적으로 규명하기 위하여 증기발생기의 실제 상황과 같은 조건의 온도와 압력하에서 실험을 수행하였다. 다양한 실험조건에 대하여 기본적인 실험을 수행하였으며 일률과 마모량의 관계를 온도에 따라 구하였다. $90^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $340^{\circ}C$ 각각의 온도에서의 마모상수는 $9.051{\times}10^{-16}\;Pa^{-1}$, $3.009{\times}10^{-15}\;Pa^{-1}$, $2.235{\times}10^{-15}\;Pa^{-1}$로 구해졌으며 특히 저온 수중상태의 마모상수는 물의 점도의 영향으로 상온 공기중의 값보다 작은 것으로 나타났다.
