원자로 압력용기 저합금강들은 원자로 가동 중 중성자 조사에 의해 재질열화 (material degradation)가 발생한다. 그러므로 계속적인 재질열화의 평가는 발전소의 수명을 예측, 평가하기 위해서 매우 중요하다. 그러나 표준시편을 이용한 인장시험, 충격시험 및 파괴인성 시험법 등은 조사시편의 크기 및 수량에 제한이 따르고, 높은 방사능으로 인해 시험편의 취급에도 제약을 받게 된다. 따라서 소형시편을 이용한 재료의 손상평가기술의 필요성이 부각되었고, 소형펀치시험(small punch test, SP test)은 그 중 하나의 유용한 시험 방법이다.(중략)

사용중인 중화학 설비의 재료물성의 경년열화적 특성을 평가하기 위하여 기존 실험법의 인장시험편이나 충격시험편을 채취하기는 실제적으로 불가능하다. 인장강도등 인장특성과 비교한 결과 인장강도, 연신율, 항복강도, 종탄성계수와 소형펀치실험의 각 특성과 선형적 관계를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 경년열화도를 평가하는 두구인 파면천이온도(FATT)와 비교하기 위하여 저온 소형펀치실험을 실시한 결과 충격실험을 통하여 구한 FATT온도와 소형펀치실험의 천이온도 ( $T_{sp}$ )와 일정한 관계가 있음이 밝혀져 사용재의 열화도를 평가할 수 있다.

In this study a relationship between SP curves and tensile properties was investigated by FE analysis on SP test with various assumed tensile properties. For the accuracy of FE analysis, SP test and tensile test were performed and those results were compared with FE analysis results. The yield load(Py) defined from the intersection point of two lines tangent to the elastic bending region and plastic bending region. And it was related specifically with yield stress(${\sigma}_0$) in FE analysis result curves. The slopes of FE analysis result curves normalized by yield stress(${\sigma}_0$) reflected the change of tensile properties regardless of yield stress(${\sigma}_0$) variation. Empirical relations were derived from these results. Tensile properties from these relations showed good agreement in FE analysis curve and tested curve.

음극전기분해법을 이용하여 고강도 DP강과 TRIP강에 수소를 강제 주입시켜, 시험편 내 수소량을 정량적으로 분석하였고, 표면하 미소경도분포 측정과 소형펀치시험 및 파단면 관찰을 통하여 수소주입량에 따른 고강도 박강판재의 수소침투 및 수소취화거동을 평가하고자 하였다. DP강은 강도가 클수록 높은 수소량으로 조사되었고, TRIP강은 DP강에 비해 주입된 수소량이 적은 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 미소경도분포 및 소형펀치시험에서도 DP강은 TRIP강에 비해 수소취성에 민감성이 높은 것으로 평가되었다.

Hydrogen embrittlement of a pipe is an important factor in hydrogen transport. To characterize hydrogen embrittlement, tensile and fracture toughness tests should be conducted. However, in the case of hydrogen-embrittled materials, it is difficult to perform tests in hydrogen environment, particularly at low temperatures. It would be useful to develop a methodology to predict the fracture toughness of hydrogen-embrittled materials at low temperatures using more efficient tests. In this study, the fracture toughness of API X52 steels in hydrogen at low temperatures is predicted from numerical simulation using coupled finite element (FE) damage analyses with FE diffusion analysis, calibrated by analyzing small punch test data.

Small punch-creep(SP-Creep) test technique has been applied for evaluating the creep characteristics for high temperature materials. However, in order to evaluate the damage and predict the remaining life, it is necessary to establish a quantitative correlation between SP-Creep and uniaxial-creep test results. This paper presents analytical and experimental results of useful correlation between SP-Creep and uniaxial-creep properties for 9Cr1MoVNb steel at $600{\sim}650^{\circ}C$ in terms of stress(load) and activation energy during creep deformation. Especially, the activation energy obtained from SP-Creep test is linearly related to that from uniaxial-creep test at $650^{\circ}C$ as follows: $Q_{sp-p}{\fallingdotseq}1.37\;Q_{TEN},\;Q_{sp-{\sigma}}{\fallingdotseq}1.53\;Q_{TEN}$.

With weld metal of X65 steel, hydrogen was charged by electro-chemical method and mechanical behavior such as strength was measured by the small punch test. The weld metal was more sensitive to hydrogen charging than the case of base metal. The small punch (SP) strength was decreased as the hydrogen contents increased. Magnitude of strength decrease was dependent on current density, temperature, charging time. Current density and charging time have significant effect on the mechanical properties but temperature of electrolyte has limited effect. Fractured surfaces of the tested specimens were observed by SEM (scanning electron microscope). In the hydrogen charged specimens cleavage fracture were observed, which is consistent with the SP test results. Since the testing procedure for studying hydrogen embrittlement proposed in this study has shown good reproducibility of test results, the proposed method can be assumed to be a reliable test procedure. Using the electrochemical charging and the small punch test, the change of SP strength for X65 weld metal due to hydrogen embritlement could be evaluated sensitively.
