Brazing is an important manufacturing process in the fabrication of Heavy Water Reactor fuel rods, in which bearing and spacer pads are joined to Zircaloy-4 cladding tubes. The physical vapor deposition(PVD) technique is currently used to deposit metallic Be on the surfaces of pads as a filler metal. Amorphous Zr-Be binary alloys which are manufactured by rapid solidification process are under developing to substitute the conventional PVD-Be coating. In the present study, brazed joint with PVD and amorphous alloys of $Zr_{1-x}Be_{x}(0.3{\le}x{\le}0.5)$ as filler metals are compared by mechanism, microstructure and hardness. The thickness of brazed joint with amorphous alloys became much smaller than that of PVD-Be. The erosion of base metal did not occur in the brazed joint with amorphous alloys. The brazing mechanism for PVD-Be seems to be Be diffusion into Zr-4 with capillary action resulting from eutectic reaction while that for amorphous alloys are associated with the liquid phase formation in the brazed joint. The brazed joint microstructure with PVD-Be consists of dendrite while that with amorphous alloys is globular. The $Zr_{0.7}Be_{0.3}$ alloy shows the smooth interface with little erosion in the base metal and is recommended a most suitable brazing filler metal for Zircaloy-4.

In this study, the welding characteristics of friction stir welding were investigated in accordance with the tool plunge position and cooling to the base materials for the joining of dissimilar materials (A6005-AZ61). Other different welding conditions, such as the tool rotation speed and welding speed, were fixed to 500rpm-30mm/min, respectively, and welding was then carried out by placing the Mg alloy (AZ61) on the advancing side and Al alloy(A6005) on the retreating side. Welding was conducted under six different conditions. To investigate the welding characteristic, tensile test and microstructure observations using an optical microscope were carried out. As the tensile test result, the maximum strength appeared under the condition in which the tool is moved 1 mm to the Mg alloy direction and cooling to the base materials. Under the same welding conditions, the strength with cooling was approximately two times higher than that without cooling. The tool was located in each direction of 1.7 mm from the weld line. Therefore, in the excessive off-set of tool position, the welding integrity was in an extremely poor condition due to the lack of stirring. This study was confirmed by the A6005-AZ61 dissimilar friction stir welding the welding speed and the tool rotation speed. In addition, the temperature control and tool plunge position are important welding parameters.

This study conducted a static tensile test in order to prevent the lowering of load carrying capacity caused by critical sections made by over bolt holes in the base plate and the cover plate of steel member joints using high-tension bolts. The change of the load carrying capacity of joints was examined by comparison of the maximum load on joint fracture obtained from the tensile test with critical section rate and design strength. According to the results, the rate of decrease in strength was higher when the critical section rate was high, and in particular, decrease in strength was affected much more by critical sections in the base plate than by those in the cover plate. In high-tension bolt joints using over bolt holes for the base plate and the cover plate, load carrying performance was somewhat lower than that in joints using standard bolt holes, but the maximum tensile strength on facture was over 15% higher than design fracture strength. According to the results of this study, the use of over bolt holes in high-tension bolt joints had an insignificant effect on the lowering of load carrying capacity, so the allowance of over bolt holes in the joints of steel members is expected to enhance to the economy and efficiency of the works.

If a design load exceeding the frictional force of the contact surface is applied to the connection of steel members using a high-tension bolt friction joint, sliding occurs and the connection of the steel members bears the design load through the shear strength and bearing strength of the bolt and the base plate. The sliding distance can be determined by the tensile force of the bolt, the friction coefficient of the contact surface, and the position of the bolt in the base plate hole. This study measured and analyzed sliding according to standard bolt hole and oversize bolt hole when pure bending moment and tensile force were applied to high-tension bolt joints with different sizes of bolt holes made in the base plate and the cover plate. In a high-tension bolt joint receiving pure bending moment and tensile force, the load causing sliding in an oversize bolt hole was $74\sim94%$ of that in a standard bolt hole. In a member receiving tensile force, the sliding load ratio was lower when the size of oversize bolt holes in the base plate and the cover plate was large. In addition, the size of the oversize bolt hole in the base plate was more closely correlated with the change of sliding loadthan the size of the oversize bolt hole in the base plate.

Since the oil price has been significantly jumped for recent some years, the diesel engine of the merchant ship has been mainly used the heavy oil of low quality. Thus, it has been often exposed to severely corrosive environment more and more because temperature of the exhaust gas in a combustion chamber is getting higher and higher with increasing of using the heavy oil of low quality. As a result, wear and corrosion of most parts surrounded with combustion chamber is more serious compared to the other parts of the engine. Therefore, an optimum weldment for these parts is very important to prolong their lifetime in a economical point of view. In this study, four types of filler metals such as Inconel 625, 718, 1.25Cr-0.5Mo and 0.5Mo were welded with SMAW and GTAW methods in the forged steel which would be generally used with piston crown material. And the corrosion properties of weld metal, heat affected zone and base metal were investigated using electrochemical methods such as measurement of corrosion potential, anodic polarization curves, cyclic voltammogram and impedance etc. in 35% H2SO4 solution. The weld metal and base metal exhibited the best and worst corrosion resistance in all cases of filler metals. In particular, the weld metal welded with filler metals of Inconel 718 revealed the best corrosion resistance among the filler metals, and Inconel 625 followed the Inconel 718. Hardness relatively indicated higher value in the weld metal compared to the base metal. Furthermore, Inconel 625 and 718 indicated higher values of hardness compared to 1.25cr-0.5Mo and 0,5Mo filler metals in the weld metal.

Factors to cause accidents were investigated through a systematic analysis of leakage accidents in welded LP-gas cylinder between 199 and 1999. As a result It was showed that most of leakage accident occurred at the pin-hole due to the localized corrosion on welded zone in cylinder. Accordingly, in this paper, we suggested that the problems of heat treatment condition in two-piece welded cylinder and substitute proposal for preventing the tearing of T zone in three-piece welded cylinder. Furthermore, corrosion rate on the weldment and base metal of welded LP-gas cylinder was evaluated using the electrochemical tests in acid rain and $3.5\%NaCl$ solution, Also, the poor adhesion and defects of film which was produced by electrostatic powder spray painting, while the LP-gas cylinder was manufactured, were analyzed using SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy). And we proposed a optimum coating thickness of the cylinder.

Alloy 82/182로 용접된 원자력 발전소 주기기의 이종 금속 용접부는 장기간 운전 후 응력부식균열(SCC : Stress Corrosion Cracking)에 의한 결함이 나타나게 된다. 2000년대 이후로 원자력 주기기 Alloy 82/182 용접부에서 PWSCC(Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking)에 의한 Degradation이 급격히 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있으며, 국내에서도 이와 관련하여 원자력 발전소의 안전성에 대한 Issue 및 대비책에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 이러한 Alloy 600 용접부에 대한 결함을 예방하기 위한 대표적인 기술로써 수명연장 오버레이 기술이 있다. 원자력 주기기 노즐부는 저탄소강으로 제작되어 있으며, 저탄소강에는 제작 시 용접후열처리가 적용된다. 후열처리를 하는 주된 이유는 Tempering을 통해 열영향부의 인성 및 연성의 회복과 강도를 감소시켜 모재와 동등 또는 이 이상의 물성을 갖도록 하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 그러나 수명연장 오버레이의 경우 현장 작업 시에 후열처리가 어렵기 때문에, 이를 대체하기 위한 기술로 템퍼비드 용접을 적용할 경우 후열처리를 면제해 주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수명연장 오버레이 기술 개발의 일환으로써 저 탄소강에 대한 템퍼비드 용접 기술을 확립하였다. 실험에 사용된 모재는 원자력 주기기의 노즐에 사용되는 SA508 Gr.3 Cl.1을 사용하였으며, 용가재는 Alloy 52 및 52M을 사용하였다. 최적 조건 도출을 위해서 실험 매트릭스를 이용하여 기본 실험을 수행하였으며, 실험에는 자동 GTAW 용접을 적용하였다. 기본 실험을 통해 얻은 최적 조건을 사용하여 PQ 시험을 수행하여 WPS를 확보하였다. 분석은 용접 후 조직 및 경도 시험, 물리시험(인장시험, 굽힘시험 및 충격시험)을 수행하였다.
