As huge energy transfer systems like a nuclear power plant, steam power plant and petrochemical plant are operated for a long time, mechanical properties are changed by degradation. The life time of the systems can be affected by the mechanical properties. So determination of the integrity of the metallic structure is required either to en4sure that failure will not occur during the service life of the components or to evaluate the lifetime extension of the structure. An automated ball indentation(ABI) method was developed as a non-destructive technique for evaluating the integrity of such metallic components. In this paper, we would like to present the aging evaluation technique by the ABI method. The five classes of the thermally aged CF8M specimens were prepared using an artificially accelerated aging method. After holding 100, 300, 900, 1800 and 3600 hours at 43$0^{\circ}C$, the specimens were cooled down using water to room temperature respectively. The tensile test, hardness test, charpy impact test, ABI test were performed. The results of the fracture test were compared with those of ABI test and the new evaluation technique of the integrity of metallic structures was developed.

자동차용 휠 베어링은 동력을 전달하고 차량의 무게를 지지해주는 중요한 부품으로써 너클에 체결된다. 이때 체결 토크에 의하여 시일 압입부와 궤도부를 포함하는 휠 베어링 외륜의 변형이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 휠 베어링 외륜의 변형을 유한요소법을 이용하여 해석하였다. 상용 소프트웨어 MSC.MARC 를 이용하였고, 외륜, 볼트, 너클의 체결거동을 보다 정확하게 예측하기 위하여 탄소성 해석과 접촉 해석을 수행하였다. 외륜 플랜지는 가공에 따라서 다소 오목하게 형성될 수 있으며, 이는 너클과의 체결 시 틈새 발생을 유발하여 변형에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 외륜의 오목한 정도를 변화시키면서 변형 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과를 검증 하기 위하여 시험을 수행하였고, 해석과 시험 결과를 비교한 결과 비교적 유사함을 알 수 있었다.

Evaluation of Brinell standard hardness tester was carried out to secure its application as a national standard for Brinell hardness. Accuracies and reliabilities in load application, indenter diameter and indentation measurement were tested through evaluation of these components. The accuracies of load application for various loading conditions were within the limit of ISO and KS specifications. Errors in the indentation measurement due to the difference in personnel characters were successfully removed by utilising automatic indentation measurement system. In overall, the tester and the indentation measuring system were found to be eligible as a national standard of Brinell hardness.

Brake pads are a component of disc brake system of automobile and consist of steel backing plates and friction material facing the disk brake rotor. Due to the repeated sliding forces and torque in vehicle braking, friction performance of brake pads are ensured. Futhermore, the brake pad is one of major tuning components in aftermarket, mechanical characteristics of the brake pad are necessary to evaluate for establishing the certification standards of tuning components. This study had performed the five specimen tests for friction coefficients and wear loss rates according to the SAE test specification. Using the instrumented indentation method, yield strength and tensile strength were measured. Friction coefficients, 0.386 - 0.489, and wear loss rates, 1.0% - 3.7% are obtained. The range of yield strength and tensile strength are 21.4 MPa - 105.3 MPa and 39.5 MPa - 176.4 MPa respectively.

Evaluation of long term stability of the Brinell standard hardness tester was carried out to secure its application as a national standard in Brinell hardness. Accuracy and repeatability in load application were tested through evaluating errors in hardness measurement of certified reference blocks. All of those requirements in KS as well as ISO specifications were satisfied by this standard hardness tester. In addition to this, long term stability test of automatic indentation measurement system was carried out. The scattering range was almost the same with its error range. To figure out an optimum test condition for better repeatability and long term stability, the effect of load variation, load application speed and time have been studied using orthogonal array experimental plan. It was found that the best combination is $30{\mu}m/s$ of load application speed and 25 seconds of load application time.
