Fatigue strength. especially crack initiation behavior of high strength steel under marine water environment was investigated. Marine structures were usually constructed by lot of weld joints and were designed by basis of the fatigue strength of weld joints. This study was carried out to mini. The fatigue initiation behavior is more important rather than crack propagation behavior under the design of marine structures, because it is very difficult to find out the crack propagation phenomena and repair the damaged part of welded joints in sea water Then, the new configuration specimen for fatigue crack initiation tests was proposed. Using this new specimen, it is easy to carry out the crack initiation tests with relatively low cycling loading and clearly find out a crack initiation fatigue life.

We studied on the effects of hot-worm rolling on recrystalized structures and tensile strength in over-aged 7075 A1 alloy, to develop the process for improving properties. It showed more clear effect of the grain refinement with over-aging before plastic deformation. That means, the coarse precipitates from over-aging play a roll as nucleation sites in the course of recrystallization. And on this study, the relations between yield strength and grain size was not satisfied with Hall-Petch equation because of the elongated structure, but the yield strength is proportional to aspect ratio of grains. In TMT process for improving strength and toughness, the worm working is available for increase of those properties than cold working.
