플랜트와 같은 장치산업은 내구성 구조물이므로 사용중에 열화가 발생하는 것은 필연적이다. 특히 고온, 고압의 부식환경하에서 사용되는 설비는 손상이 심하므로 가동중에 돌발적인 고장이 발생하여 플랜트의 가동을 중지하거나 파손사고가 일어나 생산손실은 물론 경우에 따라서는 안전사고의 발생, 환경오염 등 사회적인 문제를 일으키므로 이들 설비의 경년열화 실체를 충분히 이해하고 대책을 수립하는 것은 대단히 중요하다. 따라서 본고에서는 장치산업에서 발생하는 열화현상(재료의 연화, 경화 및 취화, 크리프, 피로, 부식, 마모 등)중 손상의 주류를 이루는 연화, 경화 및 취화, 크리프 피로에 대하여 기본적인 손상기구(damage mechanism)와 비파괴적 진단 및 평가 방법에 주안점을 두어, 현재 국내의 각종 플랜트 진단에 실용화된 기술을 해설하여 이 분야에 종사하는 관계자 여러분의 이해에 조금이라도 기여코자 한다.

원전의 열성층 현상으로 발생하는 열 피로균열 및 입계응력부식균열(IGSCC) 등은 결함에 대해서 검사자의 특별한 관심과 노력 없이는 초음파를 이용해 이러한 종류의 결함검출 및 크기 측정이 쉽지 않다. 이러한 결함의 검출 및 크기 측정을 위해서 먼저 초음파 모드 변환 기법을 사용하여 결함 검출 및 결함 크기를 분류한 후에 결함 끝단에서의 초음파 회절파(tip diffraction)를 이용한 여러 가지의 초음파 기법 둥으로 정확한 결함 크기를 측정하여 가동전 중점검시 발견된 결함의 추적 관리 및 결함평가신뢰도 향상에 기여하고자 한다. 따라서, 여기서는 열 피로균열 및 입계응력부식균열 등과 같은 결함의 정확한 검출 및 크기 측정을 위해 초음파 모드 변환 기법의 특성을 철저히 이해하고 이에 관련된 초음파 신호들을 정확히 구분할 수 있는 방법을 기술하였다.

Suspension part should have enough endurance during its lifetime to protect passenger. Therefore, the coil spring is one of the major suspension part of an automobile. Corrosion fatigue strength of the coil spring depends on many factors including mechanical and environmental properties. In this paper, residual stresses by shot peening was analyzed using finite element analysis and evaluated its effect on corrosion fatigue strength.

Fatigue life of catenary wires in various environments is reduced when stress is concentrated on some points, which are often found in corroded areas by surrounding pollutants. Therefore, the fatigue test were performed in order to investigate the effect of the surface corrosion on the destructive behavior in service environment and accelerated corrosion environment as well as th examine the corrosive property and mechanism of the catenary wires. In the fatigue test of the messenger stranded wire, the corrosion degraded materials showed 35~50% of fatigue life at a same stress amplitude compared to original material. Because the catenary wires have variable load by the interaction of periodic contacts with pantographs the maximum stresses of trolley wire and messenger wire calculated by simulation at the messenger wire during operation was estimated thought the corrosion behavior interpretation of variable stress and fatigue test.

This study proposes the integrity evaluation of the bogie frame using ultrasonic fractography analysis. Analysis objectives in this study are to investigate fracture planes of damaged zone by the A-scan method. The surface condition of fracture planes shows degree of degradation by the stress concentration. The detection of the natural defects in the bogie frame is performed using the characteristics of echodynamic pattern in ultrasonic signal. Results of ultrasonic testing agree fairly well with those of actual fracture plane. In quantitative fractography analysis, microstructures of actual fracture plane turned out to be intergranular and transgranular fracture. Proposed ultrasonic fractography analysis in this study can be used for the integrity evaluation of the bogie frame.

Antifatigue failure technology take an important part of current industries. Currently, the shot peening is used for removing the defect from the surface of steel and improving the fatigue strength on surface. Therefore, this paper the effect of compressive residual stress and corrosion of spring steel(SAE 5155)by shot-peening on fatigue crack growth characteristics in stress ratio(R=0.05)was investigated with considering fracture mechanics. By using the methods mentioned above, We arrived at the following conclusions. The fatigue crack growth rate(da/dN) of the shot-peening material was lower than that of the un-peening material. And in stage I, ${\Delta}Kth$, the threshold stress intensity factor, of the shot-peen processed material is high in critical parts unlike the un-peening material. Also m, fatigue crack growth exponent and number of cycle of the shot-peening material was higher than that of the un-peening material. That is concluded from effect of da/dN. Finally fracture of shot-peening material and un-peening material was identified and discussed in this study.

In this study, corrosion fatigue test of SAPH45 steel was performed by the use of plane behavior of base metal (BM) and heat affected zone (HAZ) of SAPH45. The main results obtained are as follows: 1) The more aspect ratio (b/t) of corner crack decreases, the more aspect ratio (b/a) takes greatly effect by corrosion. 2) The correlation between the stress intensity factor range ($\Delta$k) and crack growth rate (da/dN) for weldment in seawater is given by Paris rule as follow: da/dN=C($\Delta$K) super(m). Where m is constant, and the value is 3.82-3.84. 3) The accelerative factor ($\alpha$) of BM and HAZ under seawater is about 1.1-1.9, and ($\alpha$) of HAZ increases more and more under the low $\Delta$K region. 4) HAZ is more susceptible to corrowion than BM because of potential of electrode (E sub(c)) of HAZ becomes more less noble potential than that of BM.

The horizontal corrosion fatigue tester has been developed for investigating environmental strength. Using this tester, we investigated about corrosion fatigue caracteristics for A106-Gr B steel weldments in 3.5% synthetic seawater and room temperature. Considered parameter is only frequency of 1, 3 and 5Hz.. and Corrosion fatigue crack length was measured by DC potential difference method. From the results, we could find that the horizontal corrosion fatigue tester could be well applied to estimation of fatigue strength. and, In case of 5Hz., corrosion fatigue crack growth pate of A106-Gr B steel weldment was transgranular, and of 1 and 3Hz. showed that transgranular and interfranular was mixed. Also, Material constants of corrosion fatigue crack growth estimated in each frequency were C=9.33$\times$$10^{-9}$ and m=2.93 in 1Hz., C=9.77$\times$$10^{-10}$ and m=3.47 in 3Hz., C=1.02$\times$$10^{-10}$ and m=4.05 in 5Hz

In this study, corrosion fatigue characteristics of CF8M and CF8A steel were investigated on the simulated PWR condition(Temp.:$316^{\circ}C$, Pres.: 15:MPa). To make the simulated PWR condition. the special test machine consisted of INSTRON, Autoclave, LOOP and Measurement system was developed. As ${\Delta}K$ is ranged from 11 to $20MPa{\sqrt{m}}$, Crack growth rate of PWR condition is faster than air condition. Above $20MPa{\sqrt{m}}$, the crack growth rate of PWR and air condition is similar. Corrosion fatigue characteristics regardless of the ferrite contents($10{\sim}25wt.%$) is not different. After the test, the fracture surface of specimens was examined. It was difficult to verify the fracture modes such as striation, intergranular crack and cleavage and so on. As the ferrite content of CF8M is increased, the more particles covered fracture surface were peeled.

Ships and offshore strrctures are exposed to the corrosive surroundings, and the extablishment of the design criteria and the elucidation on the influence by this environment are requested to maintain the safety and to demonstrate the function of the structure. In this paper, the fatigue-crack-growth behavior on the compact tension specimens of quenched, tempered HT80 grade steels and RA36 high tensile steels having a single edge fatigue cracked notch respectively, were investigated under the repeated tensile stress with constant stroke in sea water for the welded parts by shielded metal arc welding. Main results obtained are summerized as follows; 1. The fatigue-crack-growth rates da/dN in sea water appeared to be greater behavior than those in air environment at the same stress intensisy factor range $\DeltaK$. 2. The correlation data of da/dN$\DeltaK$ of the two kinds of high tensile steels in sea water showed no great difference, however, the correlation data of da/dN$\DeltaK/\sigma_y$($\sigma_y$ stands for yield strength of the material) showed that the fatigue-crack-growth behavior of RA36 plate is affected by active path corrosion(APC) mechanism, while that of HT80 grade plate is mainly affected by hydrogen embrittlement mechanism.
