현재 국내에서 개발중인 고온초전도 케이블은 폴리프로필렌의 반 합성지인 LPP(laminated polypropylene paper)를 절연재료로 사용한 저온절연방식을 채택하였다. LPP는 타 절연지에 비해 절연파괴 강도가 우수하며 유전손실도 낮아 고온초전도 케이블의 절연재료로써 가장 유력시되고 있지만, 기존 유입케이블(oil-field cable)의 절연재료로 널리 사용되어온 크라프트지에 비해 6-8배 정도의 높은 가격에 유통되고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 고온초전도 케이블의 경제성 확보를 위하여 LPP와 크라프트지를 혼합한 복합 절연재료를 제안하였으며, 각각의 절연특성 시험을 통해 경제성과 전기적 절연강도를 만족하는 두 절연지의 혼합비율을 결정하고 그에 따라 22.9kV급 고온초전도 케이블의 복합절연 설계를 하였다.

액체금속로는 고온 하중 효과(피로, 크립, 크립-피로)를 고려한 내열응력설계가 중요하다. 최근에는 액금로 후보재료로서 종래의 스테인레스강에 질소를 첨가하여 고온강도를 계량한 316LN 스테인레스강이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 액체금속로 재료의 가장 지배적인 손상 기구로 인식되고 있는 피로-크립 파손에 대한 설계자료를 확보하기 위해 DCPD(Direct Current Potential Drop)법에 의한 고온피로균열 측정 시스템을 개발하고 316L 및 스테인레스강인 316LN 스테인레스강에 대한 고온 피로균열진전시험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에 의해 개발된 피로균열진전속도 측정 시스템에 의하면 25$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 분해능으로 균열길이를 측정할 수 있다. 한편 316L 스테인레스강에 질소를 적당량 첨가하면 상온에서 $600^{\circ}C$사이의 온도에서 피로균열진전에 대한저항성이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

Fe-Cr-Mn계 스테인리스강을 진공 용해하여 최적 소둔 조건인 1,20$0^{\circ}C$에서 30분동안 소둔 열처리한 후 미세 조직, 기계적 특성 및 부식 특성에 미치는 시효 열처리의 영향에 대하여 실험하였다. 미세 조직 분석은 광학 현미경 관찰, XRD분석, SEM분석, TEM분석 등으로 행하였고, 기계적 시험은 인장 시험, 충격 시험, 경도 시험을 행하였다. 부식 저항성을 평가하기 위해 황산, 염산분위기에서 양극 분극 시험을 행하였다. 시효 열처리에 따른 미세 조직간의 상분율 변화는 거의 없었지만 입계를 중심으로 제2상이 석출되었고, 그 양은 시효 시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 인장 강도 및 연신율은 낮은 시효 온도에서는 시효 온도와 시효 시간에 따라 큰 차이를 보이지 않았지만 고온으로 갈수록 시효 시간이 증가함에 따라 다소 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 충격에너지는 1시간 시효시에는 시효 온도에 따라 큰 변화를 보이지 않았지만 10시간, 100시간 시효한 경우 시효 온도가 상승함에 따라 감소하였다. 이러한 경향은 고온에서 시효한 경우 입계성장이 가속화되어 나타난 것으로 판단된다. 시효 시간이 증가함에 따라 부식 환경에 관계없이 부식 저항성이 감소하였다. 85$0^{\circ}C$에서 시효한 경우 가장 우수한 내식성을 보였고, $650^{\circ}C$에서 낮은 내식성을 나타냈는데 이는 이 온도 구간에서 탄화물 등의 제2상의 석출에 의한 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, we test procedures to demonstrate operating environmental conditions that can be exposed to UAV during its life-cycle are proposed. They are set up to be used in a large-sized climate chamber, one of the facilities of the Agency for Defense Development corresponding with the system requirements. The test steps and profile details were more specifically suggested for rainfall, humidity, and temperature (low-temperature storage and operation, high-temperature operation and solar radiation), and MIL-STD-810G w/Change-1-based.

In this study, high temperature integrity evaluation on a pressure vessel of the expansion tank operating at elevated temperature of $510^{\circ}C$ in the sodium test facility of the SEFLA(Sodium Thermal-hydraulic Experiment Loop for Finned-tube Sodium-to-Air heat exchanger) to be constructed at KAERI has been performed. Evaluations of creep-fatigue damage based on a full 3D finite element analyses were conducted for the expansion tank according to the recent elevated temperature design codes of ASME Section III Subsection NH and French RCC-MRx. It was shown that the expansion tank maintains its integrity under the intended creep-fatigue loads. Quantitative code comparisons were conducted for the pressure vessel of austenitic stainless steel 316L.

Plasma coatings have been conducted to improve the mechanical properties of thermal resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and thermal shock with respect to Great-Bar which is used as a carrier device for ironstone sintering under $700^{\circ}C$. The surface coatings on the upper side of the Great-Bar exposed on extreme environments of high temperature, severe wear, corrosion and thermal shock extended the life time due to the barrier coating layer. $Al_2O_3$, $Cr_2O_3$, WC coatings were applied to Great-Bar and their mechanical and chemical properties are analyzed by several experimental tests such as thermal resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and thermal shock resistance. It shows excellent advantages with respect to wear, thermal shock and corrosion.

A process heat exchanger (PHE) in a nuclear hydrogen system is a key component for transferring the considerable heat generated in a very high temperature reactor (VHTR) to a chemical reaction that yields a large quantity of hydrogen. A performance test on a medium-scale PHE prototype made of $Hastelloy^{(R)}$-X is scheduled in a small-scale gas loop at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. In this study, as a preliminary study before carrying out the performance test in the gas loop, high-temperature structural analysis modeling and macroscopic thermal and structural analysis of the medium-scale PHE prototype by imposing the established displacement boundary constraints were carried out under the gas loop test condition. The results obtained in this study will be compared with the performance test results of the medium-scale PHE prototype in the gas loop.

The IHX (intermediate heat exchanger) of a VHTR (very high-temperature reactor) is a core component that transfers the high heat generated by the VHTR at $950^{\circ}C$ to a hydrogen production plant. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute manufactured a small-scale prototype of a PCHE (printed circuit heat exchanger) that was being considered as a candidate for the IHX. In this study, as a part of high-temperature structural integrity evaluation of the small-scale PCHE prototype, we carried out high-temperature structural analysis modeling and macroscopic thermal and elastic structural analysis for the small-scale PCHE prototype under small-scale gas-loop test conditions. The modeling and analysis were performed as a precedent study prior to the performance test in the small-scale gas loop. The results obtained in this study will be compared with the test results for the small-scale PCHE. Moreover, these results will be used in the design of a medium-scale PCHE prototype.

It has been well recognized that a long term service at elevated temperature of $350^{\circ}C{\sim}550^{\circ}C$ induces embrittlement damage due to carbide precipitation and/or P, Sb and Sn segregation at grain boundaries and thereby deteriorates the grain boundary strength of heat resisting components in the energy-related plants. Therefore, it is very important to assess quantitatively the extent of embrittlement damage of heat resisting components to secure the reliable and efficient service condition and to prevent brittle failure in service. However, because fracture tests are limited in size and number of specimen obtained from the structural components, nondestructive test method is required. In this study, the optimum electrochemical parameters are investigated and discussed to evaluate nondestructive embrittlement damage for aged 2.25Cr-1Mo steels by means of electrochemical polarization test method (ECPTM) in proper corrosive environment. In addition, the electrochemical test results are compared with embrittlement degree evaluated by semi-nondestructive SP test.

The graphites as airtight structure seals prevent high-pressure and high-temperature gas from flowing into actuator of propulsion system and generate lubricant film during wear procedure to assist lubricant and sealing. In this study, the tribological characteristics of the graphite in high-temperature are evaluated. In order to evaluate the tribological characteristics of high density graphite(HK-6), variables which are temperature, sliding speed and contact load are set. this study suggest optimized environment conditions through the wear properties of graphite. Consequeantly, high temperature is better than at room temperature to generate lubricant film, so that friction coefficient of graphite is lower at high temperature than at room temperature.
