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.

Overlay welding affects the chemical components and weld hardness by dilution of the lamination layer thickness, which determines the surface properties. This study experimentally investigates different numbers of layers for overlay welding monel materials, which are anti-corrosion materials. The Fe content, weldability of the base metal and monel materials, hardness, and surface flatness were examined. Each evaluation was carried out after overlay welding with three layers on the base material and pipe base material of the plate. The Fe content was evaluated by analyzing the constituents of each layer. The Fe content was satisfactory in the three layers. The weldability of the laminate specimens was evaluated by a bending test. The hardness and bead flatness of the laminate specimens were evaluated by micro Vickers and 3D measurements. The hardness was highest in the heat-affected zone with one layer, and it decreased with increasing lamination. In the case of bead flatness, there is a sharp difference in the deviation with increasing numbers of laminations, which should be considered carefully.

Weld overlay was first used in power plants in the US in the early 1980s as an interim method of repairing the welds of flawed piping joints. Weld overlaid piping joints in nuclear power plants must be examined periodically using ultrasonic examination technology. Portable phased array ultrasonic technology has recently become available. Currently, the application of preemptive weld overlays as a mitigation technique and/as a method to improve the examination surface condition for more complex configurations is becoming more common. These complex geometries may require several focused conventional transducers for adequate inspection of the overlay, the original weld, and the base material. Alternatively, Phased array ultrasonic probes can be used to generate several inspection angles simultaneously at various focal depths to provide better and faster coverage than that possible by conventional methods. Thus, this technology can increase the speed of examinations, save costs, and reduce radiation exposure. In this paper, we explain the general sequence of the inspection of weld overlay and the results of signal analysis for some PAUT (phased array ultrasonic testing) signals detected in on-site inspections.

Of the marine engine components, the piston crown and exhaust valve are repaired most frequently. These works are conducted through conventional welding processes such as GTAW or SAW, domestically in marine engine repair factories. New high-efficiency welding or overlay processes such as tandem SAW, tandem MAG, hybrid TIG-MIG welding, pulsed-GMAW, CMT welding, and super TIG welding have been developed recently. Moreover, the plasma transfered arc (PTA) process is an efficient spray method for overlaying on the exhaust valve. In this review paper, the new high-efficiency repair welding methods are introduced for marine engine components. The problems due to repair welding for marine engine components are also presented.
