This paper presents a fatigue design method for plug- and ring-type gas-welded joints, which takes into account the effects of welding residual stress. To develop this method, we simulated the gas-welding process by performing nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) To validate the FEA results, numerically calculated residual stresses in the gas welds were then compared with experimental results obtained by the hole-drilling method. To evaluate the fatigue strength of plug- and ring-type gas-welded joints influenced by welding residual stresses, the use of stress amplitude $(\sigma_a)_R$, which includes the welding residual stress in gas welds, is proposed $(\sigma_a)_R$ on the basis of a modified Goodman equation that includes the residual stress effects. Using the stress amplitude $(\sigma_a)_R$ at the hot spot point of gas weld, the relations obtained as the fatigue test results for plug and ring type gas welded joints having various dimensions and shapes were systematically rearranged to obtain the $(\sigma_a)_R-N_f$ relationship. It was found that more systematic and accurate evaluation of the fatigue strength of plug- and ring-type gas-welded joints can be achieved by using $(\sigma_a)_R$.

Grease deterioration of mineral oil type grease was investigated using sealed deep groove ball bearings (6203) and bearing life test rig. The bearing test was performed under 3,000 rpm and 245 N radial load at 120。C. Grease taken ken tested bearings was checked in using certain evaluation methods, for example, oxidation induction time (OIT), FT-IR peak intensity, leakage .ate, bleeding .ate, total acid number. (TAN) and bearing noise increase. Within these test conditions, OIT, TAN, bleeding rate were changed gradually in accordance with bearing operating time and showed useful indices for deterioration of grease.

The compressive residual stress, which is induced by shot peening process, seems to be an Important factor in increasing the fatigue strength. And then it was showed that residual stress was disappearenced at the high temperature. The fatigue charateristic investigation of a SUP9 spring steel processed shot peening is performed by considering the high temperature service conditions in the range of room temperature through $180^{\circ}C$ in the range of stress ratio of 0.3 by means of opening mode displacement. The fatigue resistance characteristics and fracture strength at high temperature is considerable lower than that of room temperature in the early stage and stable of fatigue crack growth region.

A method for the retardation of fatigue crack growth using ring indentation at the vicinity of a crack is examined. Residual stresses near crack tip are evaluated using fracture mechanics approach using the Bueckner weight function. The motivation is to develop a simple and effective method for obtaining an increase in fatigue lives to total failure of materials with crack. Fatigue testing of aluminum specimen showed that the retardation effects are observed after the application of the method.

This paper Investigated the characteristics of residual stress in weld is composed of typical specimens, are investigated by using three dimensional thermal elasto-plastic FEM analysis. Numerically calculated residual stresses in the gas welds were then compared with experimental results obtained by the hole-drilling method. Using the stress amplitude (${\sigma}a$)R at the hot spot point of gas weld, the relations obtained as the fatigue test results for typical specimens having various dimensions and shapes were systematically rearranged to obtain the (${\sigma}a$)R-Nf relationship. It was found that more systematic and accurate evaluation of the fatigue strength of plug- and ring-type gas-welded joints can be achieved by using (${\sigma}a$)R.

The requirements of getting spring steel with higher fatigue strength have been increased to achieve the weight reduction of a vehicle. As the possible increment in fatigue strength by using the conventional shot peening treatment is found to be limited, it is necessary to modify the shot peening treatment. In this study, to investigate the effects of warm shot peening on increasing fatigue strength, tests are conducted on spring steel SAE9524. By the results of rotating bending fatigue tests, the fatigue strength increases up to 23.8% in warm shot peening specimens at $200^{\circ}C$ compared with conventional shot peening. The major reason why the warm shot peening is effective to the improvement of fatigue strength is the increment of the compressive residual stress, which can be effectively formed by shot peening under the condition of warm temperature than room temperature.

발전 설비는 기대 수명동안의 안정성을 확보하기 위하여 해당 규격에 부합하도록 설계하여 건설된다. 하지만 가동 중 다양한 복합 환경에 노출됨에 따라 구조물을 이루고 있는 재료의 열화 현상이 가속화되어 예기치 못한 파손이 발생할 수 있다. 기계적 물성은 재료의 기계적 거동을 나타내는 주요 척도가 되며 이는 신뢰성 및 안전과 직결된다. 하지만 기존의 역학물성을 측정하는 대부분의 시험법들은 특정 크기의 시편을 요구하고 파괴적인 시험법이기 때문에 가동 중 시설물에 적용하기가 불가능하였다. 이러한 한계점을 극복하고자 비파괴적이고 정량적인 시험이 가능한 연속압입시험법이 최근 각광받는 시험법으로서 많은 연구자들에 의해 연구되고 있다. 이 시험법은 시험 대상물의 형상에 제약을 받지 않으며 시험 절차가 매우 간단하다는 장점을 가진다. 또한 대상의 국소 부위에 시험할 수 있어 취약 부위 판별이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 대표응력-대표변형률 기법을 통하여 인장물성을 평가하고, 압입 하중 차이를 이용하여 소재에 존재하는 잔류응력을 평가하는 기법을 소개한다. 또한, 연속압입시험을 이용하여 실제 발전소 파이프의 취약부위로 알려진 용접부에 대하여 인장물성 및 잔류응력을 측정함으로써 실제 산업체의 신뢰성 평가가 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The fatigue strength of welded joint is influenced by the welding residual stress which is relaxed depending on local stress distributed in vicinity of stress raisers, eg. under cut, overlap and blow hole. To evaluate its fatigue life the geometry of the stress raisers and the welding residual stress should be taken into account. The several methods based on notch strain approach have been proposed in order to consider the two factors above mentioned. These methods, however, have shown considerable differences between analytical and experimental results. It is due to the fact that the amount of the relaxed welding residual stress evaluated by the cyclic stress-strain relationship do not correspond with that occurred in reality. In this paper the residual stress relaxation model based on experimental results was used in order to reduce the discrepancy of the estimated amount of the relaxed welding residual stress. Under an assumption of the superimposition of the relaxed welding residual stress and the local stress, a modified notch strain approach was proposed and verified to the cruciform welded joint.

금형 내부의 마모를 줄이기 위한 경질 박막의 안정성 향상과 표면에 인가된 압축 잔류 응력이 고주기 피로 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위해 정밀 플라스틱 사출 금형강에 주로 사용되는 Fe-3.0%Ni-0.7%Cr-1.4%Mn-X강에 스크린 질화처리와 DLC 코팅을 시간과 단일, 복합처리의 변수를 두어 코팅하였다. PAPVD법으로 DLC($3{\mu}m$), 스크린 질화(3h, $50{\mu}m$)/DLC($3{\mu}m$) 코팅 후 고주기 피로 시험을 행하여 고주기 피로 특성을 평가하였다. 스크래치 시험, 마모 시험, 잔류응력 측정을 통해 질화 처리 여부에 따른 코팅의 안정성을 평가하였다. DLC, 스크린질화/DLC 코팅한 경우 압축 잔류 응력의 영향으로 모두 피로 수명이 향상되었고 스크린질화/DLC 코팅한 경우 그 향상폭은 더 컸다. 질화 처리 후 DLC 코팅한 경우 질화층은 버퍼레이어로 작용하여 코팅의 박리를 억제함을 확인하였다.
