오스템퍼링 한 저합금구상흑연주철 은 일반의 구상흑연주철의 기지조직을 베이나이트로 함으로써 치수변화가 적고, 균열의 위험성이 없으며 또한 강도 및 인성이 좋은 특성을 지니고 있기 때문에 강에 필적할 만한 성질을 가진다는 것은 잘 알려져 있지만 주철은 주조한 그대로 사용한다는 개념이 강하여 지금까지 거의 공업적으로 이용되지 않았다. 그런데 최근 이 주철이 고응력을 받는 기계부붐에 적용되어 중형 및 대형의 gear wheel에 퍼얼라이트와 조질된 구상흑연주철 및 강을 대체하게되어 미국, 핀란드 및 영국 등에서는 자동차 후차축의 링 기어, 피니언 기어 및 크랭크축에 이르기까지 사용되기 시작하였고, 그 결과가 경제적으로도 은강품보다 오히려 유리하다고 보고되어 오늘날 자동차공업 부문에서도 맣은 주목을 모으고 있다.

Cleavage fracture behaviors were investigated in Ni-Mo-Cr steels with mixed microstructure of lower bainite and martensite. As the size of carbide decreased, the cleavage fracture strength increased, which was independent of the sizes of grain and packet. The measured cleavage fracture strengths were in good agreement with cleavage fracture strengths calculated by Petch model rather than by modified Griffith model in micro-structures with fine carbides, the size of which were small below a few hundred nanometer.

최근 유용한 신소재로많은 광심을 보이고 있는 오스템퍼처리 구상흑연 주철(Austempered Ductile Cast Iron 이하 ADI라 한다) 은 기지조직이 베이나이트와 잔류 오스테나이트로 구성되어있기 때문에 같은 화학 조성을 갖는 일반 구상 흑연 주철에 비하여 연성 및 연성의 감소가 없이 2배 정도의 강도를 증가 시킬수 있기 때문에 자동차, 선박 부품 및 각종 기계부품에 적용시키기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 서로 재질의 성분이 다른 고속도강 드릴인 소경드릴을 이용하여 ADI재료를 보통(비관통)이송 및 단계이송 절삭가공시 발생되는 공구의 마멸량과 표면조도와의 관계, 절삭력의 변화에 따른 공구마멸과 공구수명과의 관계를 실험적으로 규명하여 ADI재료 의 보통 및 단계이송절삭시 공구수명에 미치는 제반 절삭특성의 영향에 관해 고찰 하고자 한다.

Microstructures and mechanical properties of weldments were studied for EH36 TMCP higher-strength hull steel with electrogas welding jprocess. In case of a newly designed EH36 TMCP steel for large heat input welding process, the Microstructures of HAZ shows more narrow width of grain coarsed region than that of conventional EH36 TMCP weldments, the amount of acicular ferrite, which is beneficial to impact toughness, increased while the amount of grain-boundary ferrite decreased. Charpy V-notched impact tests show that a newly designed EH36 TMCP steel weldment satisfies all the requirement of specifications, especially at the fusion line +2mm where the conventional EH36 TMCP steel fails to exceed the requirement.

The austenite phase observed in low carbon HSLA steels is well known to be decomposed to various bainitic microstructures, such as granular bainite, acicular ferrite and bainitic ferrite during continuous cooling process. These bainitic microstructures have been usually identified by using either scanning electron microscope (SEM) or transmission electron microscope (TEM). However, SEM and TEM images do no exactly coincide, because of the quite different sample preparation method in SEM and TEM observations. These conventional analysis method is, thus, not suitable for characterization of the complex bainitic microstructure. In this study, focused ion beam (FIB) technique was applied to make site-specific TEM specimens and to identify the 3-dimensional grain morphologies of the bainitic microstructure. The morphological feature and grain boundary characteristics of each bainitic microstructure were exactly identified.

Bainitic microalloyed steels have drawn a lot of attention because of high strength combined with high toughness. In order to process the alloys easily , it is necessary to get the alloys of high hardenability. Mo and B were added to enhance the hardenability, which was demonstrated by TTT simulation and microstructures. It was also identified using BNCT that B, hardenability raising element, was distributed more evenly as cooling rate went up. Examination of grain coarsening temperature depending upon austenitizing temperature revealed that V and Ti effectively inhibited the grain growth up to $1000^{\circ}C\;and\;1050^{\circ}C$ respectively.

원자로 압력용기강의 제조열처리인 ？칭과 템퍼링 중간에 페라이트와 오스테나이트가 공존하는 영역에서 2상영역열처리를 추가한 후 템퍼링조건을 조정함으로써 파괴인성을 향상시키는 열처리 공정을 개발하였다. 새 열처리공정을 적용하면 기존공정에 비하여 강도는 크게 감소하지 않으면서 충격인성과 연성이 크게 증가하고, 천이온도가 약 2$0^{\circ}C$ 감소하였다. 2상영역열처리를 하면 연한 템퍼드 베이나이트 기지에 비교적 강한 템퍼드 마르텐사이트가 균일하게 분산된 복합조직을 얻을 수 있고, 유효 결정립의 크기가 감소하여 균열진전이 억제되었다. 또한 기존공정의 판상 탄화물 대신 구형 탄화물이 형성되기 때문에 응력집중이 완화되어 파괴저항성이 향상되었다. 그리고 2상 영역열처리후 템퍼링 정도를 낮추면 탄화물 크기가 작아지기 때문에 균열발생이 억제되어 저온 충격인성이 향상되었다.

Recently, steel structures have increasingly been required to have sufficient deformability because they are subjected to progressive or abrupt displacement arising from structure loading itself, earthquake, and ground movement in their service environment. In this study, high-strength low-carbon bainitic steel specimens with enhanced deformability were fabricated by varying thermo-mechanical control process conditions consisting of controlled rolling and accelerated cooling, and then tensile and Charpy V-notch impact tests were conducted to investigate the correlation between microstructure and mechanical properties such as strength, deformability, and low-temperature toughness. Low-temperature transformation phases, i.e. granular bainite (GB), degenerate upper bainite(DUB), lower bainite(LB) and lath martensite(LM), together with fine polygonal ferrite(PF) were well developed, and the microstructural evolution was more critically affected by start and finish cooling temperatures than by finish rolling temperature. The steel specimens start-cooled at higher temperature had the best combination of strength and deformability because of the appropriate mixture of fine PF and low-temperature transformation phases such as GB, DUB, and LB/LM. On the other hand, the steel specimens start-cooled at lower temperature and finish-cooled at higher temperature exhibited a good low-temperature toughness because the interphase boundaries between the low-temperature transformation phases and/or PF act as beneficial barriers to cleavage crack propagation.

Rotary bending fatigue tests were performed to investigate the effects of 2-phase matrix structure on fatigue limit with prepared specimens in high strength ductile irons. Two types of the specimens with different microstructures have been used. Series A has sorbite and series B has bainite. Fatigue limits of both specimens are improved comparing with as cast specimen. The fatigue limit is higher in series B than in series A. The reason why the fatigue limit of series A shows inferiority to that of series B is due to the transition of micro fatigue cracks to mesocrack occurs very rapidly, so increased stress intensity factor drives the fatigue crack growth. The higher fatigue limit of series B which has bainite is caused by the ${\gamma}$ layer contained in microstructure impede the rapid growth of micro fatigue crack to mesocrack and ${\alpha}$ layer around graphite has the higher capacity for the absorption of plastic deformation energy than sorbite.

The purpose of present investigation is to obtain ductile cast iron with ferrite-bainite matrix by pearlite-bainite transformation treatment. Ductile cast irons having three kinds of Mn ampunt had been manufactured. Mn increased pearlite volume fraction iin as-cast ductile cast iron. Ductile cast irons of different pearlite fraction were austenitized at $875\;^{\circ}C$ for 230-350 sec or $925\;^{\circ}C$ for 130-170 sec followed by austempering at $300\;^{\circ}C$ or $400\;^{\circ}C$ for the various periods of time from 5 to 30 min. When specimen was austenitixed for 130 sec at $925\;^{\circ}C$ and for 230 sec at $875\;^{\circ}C$, pearlite was transformed into austenite. Bainite around graphite was found at $925^{\circ}C$ for 170 sec. Bainite in grain boundary of ferrite was happened at $875^{\circ}C$ for 350 sec. During the austempering process, acicular bainite was precipitated at $300^{\circ}C$ and lath bainite was precipitated at $400^{\circ}C$. Increment in manganese content restrained bainitic transformation. Retained austenie was of little quantity.
